Letter: America is fighting a losing battle on renewable energy

SUN JOURNAL • November 19, 2025

In 2024, energy from renewable sources became cheaper than oil, gas and even coal. President Trump’s backwardness in this area has conceded U.S. defeat in this critical energy transition. He is in service to the old oil, coal and gas businesses and their investors who paid his corrupt demand for $1 billion in campaign funds. They now own him, and no one in government is fighting for the right of U.S. citizens to have clean, cheap energy from renewable energy sources. As always with Trump, when he announces his facts, one never can tell whether he is deliberately lying or if his aging mind is simply spouting information he learned in the 1980s. His pronouncement that wind energy is the most expensive energy in the world is factually wrong. ~ Judy McGeorge, Ellsworth
