Trump: Wind turbines are Chinese, horrible and kill birds

US President Donald Trump called windmills "horrible" and said they "kill birds".

After signing an executive order to halt wind energy projects, Trump said that natural gas is clean and powerful, Anadolu reports.

During an interview with Fox News, he said that gas is consistent, not like wind.

"The wind blows, and then it doesn't blow. Those things cost a fortune. They're made in China, they kill birds, and they're terrible," the US president said.

He said wind turbines also negatively impact property values.

"We don't want windmills in this country. If you have a house and the windmills spoil your view, your house is worth half. They are a disaster and nobody wants them," he said, calling wind energy "the most expensive of all energies."

The executive order, signed by Trump earlier this week, halts the expansion of wind energy projects across the country, drawing criticism from environmental advocates.
