"My goal is to not let any windmill be built. They are losers. They lose money, they destroy your landscape, they kill your birds, said Trump. They are all made in China. And all you have to do is, you know, just about all of the windmills are made in China, the structures. The president correctly named China as the leader in the global wind turbine manufacturers' market."
"The president's assertion that China does not use windmills is not just a little wrong it's the exact opposite of the truth. China uses more wind power than almost every other nation combined. The country had an operating wind farm capacity of about 444,000 megawatts as of February 2025. That's about 44% of the global total nearly triple the capacity of the U.S. That number increased to almost 48% in 2024, as the installation of wind turbines in all countries excluding China dropped by 18%."
An assertion stated that China does not use windmills domestically and instead exports turbines to Europe and the United States while relying on coal, oil, gas and some nuclear. That assertion is incorrect. China is the global leader in wind turbine manufacturing and wind capacity. China accounted for about 65% of the global wind turbine manufacturers' market and had operating wind farm capacity near 444,000 megawatts (roughly 44% of the global total) as of February 2025, rising to almost 48% in 2024. Large-scale solar and wind projects under construction in the first half of 2025 were heavily concentrated in China (about 74%), while installations outside China fell by 18%.
