🌬️ U.S. political veteran Donald Trump made headlines this week at Davos by claiming "China has no windmills" – but the internet quickly spun up facts showing a very different reality. As of 2026, China remains the undisputed global leader in wind energy, holding the #1 spot for 15 consecutive years 🏆
New data reveals the Chinese mainland now boasts over 600 gigawatts of installed wind capacity – enough to power 200 million homes annually. The country currently generates 40% of the world's wind energy, with massive offshore projects expanding daily along its eastern coasts 🌊💨
While Chinese companies like Goldwind export turbines worldwide, America's clean energy growth has stalled under recent policies. Analysts note U.S. wind project cancellations doubled in 2025, with $3B in investments shifting to Asian markets last quarter 📉
Young climate activists are calling this "the ultimate reality check moment" for global energy politics. As one MIT researcher tweeted: "When it comes to renewables, facts blow harder than hot air" 💨🔋
