Trump demands demolition of the wind turbines: North Sea should be free for oil production!

The future US President Donald Trump causes excitement again by giving a drastic recall to the wind turbines in the North Sea. On his Truth Social platform, the 78-year-old Great Britain criticized "very big mistakes" in energy policy for one in his opinion. Trump decidedly demanded: "Open the North Sea. Complete the wind turbines!" His statement follows a report on the announced withdrawal of the US oil company Apache from the region, which Trump sees as confirmation of his position. In his anger, he argued that the wind turbines are ineffective and explained: "They have put up wind turbines everywhere, and the wind did not blow so much. And if they had continued this process, Germany would now be broke", like today.at reported.

The withdrawal of Apache by 2029 is also due to increasing taxes that make oil production unprofitable. CEO John Christmann criticized the new environmental requirements in Great Britain, which will require expensive emission control measures from 2029. According to Christmann, these regulations make it impossible to continue oil and gas. The British government under Prime Minister Keir Strandmer, who has been in office since July 2024, has set itself the goal of promoting more environmentally friendly energy and is no longer planning new licenses for oil and gas bores. Instead, the government's focus is clearly on renewable energies and tries to accelerate the transition to a greener economy, such as explained in detail.

The former President Trump, who had already relaxed environmental standards during his term and the United States pulled out of the Paris climate agreement in 2020, positions itself again for fossil fuels and vehemently speaks against renewable energies. This shows how controversial the debate about the energy strategies, especially wind energy, remains in the current political landscape.
