"Three days before President Trump declared that wind power doesn't work 'all that well,' his Energy Department released a report stating that wind power installations are 'robust' and prices are 'falling.'

Trump, speaking in France at the Group of Seven summit earlier this week, dismissed the notion that the renewable power source could help curb climate change.

'I'm not going to lose that wealth on dreams, on windmills, which, frankly, are not working all that well,' he said.

But Trump's top energy officials disagree.

'This Administration has proven that we can pursue renewable energy advancements and deployment, particularly wind energy resources, which are predicted to surpass other sources of renewable power generation this year,' Undersecretary of Energy Mark Menezes said Friday in a press release touting a new report on wind energy."
