Former allies have reacted with dismay to Kennedy’s alliance with Trump, who routinely mocks the climate crisis
Donald Trump has hurled insults at wind energy, calling it “bullshit” and “disgusting” and, if elected US president, may turn to another staunch opponent of offshore wind turbines to help stymie the nascent industry:
“President Trump will choose the best people for his cabinet to undo all the damage dangerously liberal Kamala Harris has done to our country,” said Steven Cheung, a campaign spokesperson. “But formal discussions of who will serve in a second Trump administration is premature.” The US had just one relatively small offshore wind farm, off the coast of Rhode Island, when Joe Biden took office, but since then the president’s administration has10 commercial projects along the Atlantic coast that, it says, will provide enough renewable power for more than 5m homes.
Wind turbines can have “direct and indirect” effects upon marine life, according to Andy Lipsky, chief of the offshore wind ecology branch at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with their fixed structures either attracting or deterring different aquatic creatures. Bonnie Brady, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, said she was “thrilled” to speak with Kennedy on his podcast about the alleged harm of offshore wind in June.
