Donald Trump Restrictions and Other Factors Destroying Wind Industry

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, examines the struggles facing America’s wind energy industry.

McIntyre warns that wind power may not sustain its place as a key pillar of renewable energy alongside solar and nuclear.
