The president has repeatedly joked that TVs would cut out if the U.S. used wind as a source of renewable energy.

President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows for once again arguing that wind turbines are a poor source of electricity, stating people would have to turn off their TVs because"the wind isn’t blowing."

"The truth is that a combination of wind, solar and other renewables, along with battery and smart grid technology, can provide continuous and abundant electricity," Mann said. Trump jokingly told the audience:"The Green New Deal—I encourage it. I think it's something [Democrats] should really promote…no planes, no energy. When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electric. 'Darling is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television.'"

“I was taught how wind power worked in elementary science. Can a teacher please explain to Trump how wind energy works?” tweeted Marcel McClinton, a candidate for Houston City Council.
