Al Gore Says It’s ‘Insane’ of Trump to Fight Offshore Wind Power

Al Gore, the chairman of Generation Investment Management and a former US vice president, said President Donald Trump’s efforts to block offshore wind farms defy logic.

The campaign against wind by the Trump administration is “insane,” Gore said in an interview on Tuesday in Davos with David Rubenstein. “Renewable is taking over” in powering the ongoing electrification of economies, so “we really don’t have any choice about this,” he added.
