00:00What you're about to hear Donald Trump claim about Sir Keir Starmer isn't accurate.
00:04Do you think Starmer's going to survive as Prime Minister?
00:06A tough thing, if he doesn't start drilling, stop with the windmills all over the place that
00:11are causing havoc. The most expensive form of energy, they kill the birds, they're unsightly,
00:17they're ruining the landscape.
00:18When Donald Trump talks about wind energy, he paints it as if it's a massive economic disaster.
00:25But the numbers tell an entirely different story. As it stands, wind energy is actually some of the
00:32cheapest in the UK. Meanwhile, Trump's solution to lowering energy prices is…
00:39Drill, baby, drill.
00:41Now gas prices are wildly unpredictable. We've seen a jump in gas prices to an average of £108
00:49per megawatt hour since the war in the Middle East kicked off.
00:54And wind power? Currently sitting at £97 per megawatt hour for offshore winds and £77 for onshore.
01:03Renewables like wind and solar don't fluctuate the same way that oil and gas prices do.
01:11For example, if a war kicks off or if there are any supply issues.
01:15It is expensive to build wind farms, there's no denying that.
01:20But when Donald Trump claims that it's the most expensive form of energy, that's simply not accurate.
01:27Trump has spent years attacking net zero policies across the globe.
01:31Everything was a new scam. Green, green, green.
01:35So when countries are expanding their wind energy use, it doesn't quite fit into Donald Trump's narrative.
01:42And that matters because when politicians oversimplify how renewable energy works,
01:48it shapes public opinion based on energy bills.
01:52That gets people really riled up.
01:55And climate change misinformation, like claiming that wind power is more expensive than any other,
02:01could lead to real world climate policy change.
02:04So, let's see.
02:05So.
