From what I've gleaned of the ravings of the angry stupid right blogosphere, a lot of people actually do think that only tree huggers want green energy.
And I have little doubt that that's an opinion that Trump shares, but that's not his main motivation in all of this. His main motivation is big fat bribes from the fossil fuel industry.
He's not in a position to know (much, including) how many investors have put their money on green. A few months to put up a low/no-waste solar or windmill farm (he hates how they look) and start profiting ... 10 years (at least) to build a high-waste nuke (and decades of paying interest on those expensive long-term loans)
