BBC Forced to Admit Trump is Right about Wind Power
By Ross Trumble
For decades, the public has been told that wind and solar energy would deliver us into a green utopia of cheap, clean, and reliable power for all. In 2025, that fantasy is unraveling. Even the BBC, which has long carried water for the renewable lobby, has been forced to admit the truth: windmill-generated power is destabilizing the grid and driving household electricity bills higher.
This is no minor footnote. Rather, it’s an indictment of the entire model. Grid operators in the UK are now openly acknowledging what critics have warned for years: intermittent energy sources like wind cannot keep the lights on without massive backup from traditional fuels.
When the wind doesn’t blow, gas plants must fire up and at great expense. When the wind blows too hard, turbines must be curtailed to prevent grid collapse, with taxpayers footing the bill to compensate producers for not producing power. No matter the weather, the consumer pays more.
America’s Media Denial
Here in the United States, the same dynamic is playing out, only worse. Our media refuses to acknowledge it. Instead, the corporate press continues to repeat the same talking points: that wind and solar are cheaper, that they’re inevitable, that the only barrier is “Big Oil” standing in the way.
But the evidence is staring us in the face. Bills are rising, blackouts are more frequent, and yet policymakers keep plowing billions into subsidies for technologies that cannot shoulder the burden of a modern industrial economy.
The refusal to admit reality is a feature of our derelict media class.
They abandoned honesty so long ago it’s hard to remember if they ever told the American people the truth in the first place.
Trump Called It Out
Donald Trump, never one to mince words, put it bluntly in a social media post: wind and solar are “THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!” He vowed not to approve new wind or “farmer destroying Solar” projects, declaring, “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!”
While the BBC and other global outlets are only now acknowledging the downsides, Trump has been saying this for years. He called out wind turbines as unreliable, ugly, and destructive long before mainstream outlets dared whisper it. His critics laughed then, but the consumer bills in both the UK and America are proving him right.
The Landman Moment of Truth
Oddly enough, Hollywood got it right before the journalists did. In the series Landman, actor Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, delivers a brutal takedown of the wind energy farce. Speaking to a liberal attorney hired to challenge his oil company, Norris explains that the entire wind industry is built on a lie: the energy it takes to mine, refine, manufacture, transport, erect, and maintain these giant turbines often exceeds the energy they will reasonably produce for many years, while using fossil fuels to keep running.
It’s a devastating point because it undercuts the very premise of “renewables.” If the process of building a turbine consumes more energy than the turbine ever generates, then the whole operation is a net loss. In that scene, Norris doesn’t need charts or footnotes. just common sense. This episode aired less than 10 months ago and has already been seen hundreds of millions of times on various social media platforms.
For those looking to “fact check” the fictional Tommy Norris, a mini-documentary released in June by Steve Cortes upholds these conclusions.

What the Public Needs Now
The timing couldn’t be worse. Artificial Intelligence, electric vehicles, and sprawling data centers are consuming power at unprecedented rates. America desperately needs more reliable energy, not less. Yet wind and solar—once the heavily subsidized darlings of the energy sector—are being exposed as dangerously inadequate.
The BBC’s reluctant confession should serve as a wake-up call. If even the staunchest defenders of wind energy can no longer deny its shortcomings, why should Americans continue pretending otherwise? The public deserves honesty. Wind and solar will never deliver the dependable, affordable power that oil, gas, coal, and nuclear can.
The Bottom Line
Wind power was sold as salvation, but in practice it is proving to be a burden: unstable, expensive, and deceptive. The BBC has finally admitted what critics have always known. Trump has been saying it all along. And even Hollywood, through Tommy Norris in Landman, has shown more honesty about energy than our own media.
The truth is unavoidable: windmills are a mirage, a symbol of policy folly, and a scam that consumers can no longer afford.
