The former president said “windmills” harm whales, and he said he’d eliminate offshore wind power on the first day of his second term.
“I wanna be a whale psychiatrist. It drives the whales fricking crazy. And something happens with them, but for whatever reason, they’re getting washed up onshore and you know, they’re ignored by these environmentalists. But they don’t talk about it.” Trump said.
Trump claimed that it’s the operational vibrations of the massive structures that drive whales “crazy,” but it’s more the construction and vessel activity that experts say is causing the animals harm.
