Mr Trump, who has repeatedly denounced what he calls the green energy “scam”, said the UK Government had made it “impossible” for oil firms to exploit North Sea reserves.

00:00Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America.
00:06They tried very hard.
00:07The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999.
00:13Think of that, one-third.
00:16And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world.
00:22But they don't use it.
00:23And that's one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices.
00:31They don't let anybody drill.
00:33Environmentally, they don't let them drill.
00:35They make it impossible for the oil companies to go.
00:38They take 92% of the revenues.
00:42So the oil companies say, we can't do it.
00:44They came to see me.
00:46Is there anything you can do?
00:47I want Europe to do great.
00:49I want UK to do great.
00:50They're sitting on one of the greatest energy sources in the world, and they don't use it.
00:56In fact, their electricity prices have soared 139%.
01:04There are windmills all over Europe.
01:08There are windmills all over the place.
01:11And they are losers.
01:13One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing.
