President Donald Trump has criticized renewable energy sources like wind and solar power for the rise in electricity costs, calling them 'THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!' Energy analysts, however, attribute price hikes to increased demand, aging infrastructure, and extreme weather events.
As electricity prices surge beyond inflation rates, President Donald Trump has taken aim at renewable energy, labeling wind and solar power as "THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!" on social media, and pledging to halt renewable energy projects.
Despite Trump's claims, energy experts argue that renewable sources are not to blame for the rising costs. Instead, they point to factors like increased demand, aging infrastructure, and extreme weather conditions exacerbated by climate change.
The clean energy debate has turned political, with Trump promising to slash electric bills by 50%, while Democrats criticize his stance, highlighting job losses and higher costs linked to Republican energy policies.
