Freedom and small government, right?
What a fucking loser.
Literally the cheapest energy. The fall of the American empire is truly going to be accelerated under this massive clown
Yeah, well, he can wish in one hand and shit in the other to see which fills up first. There’s multi-billion dollar projects already in progress in, among other places, California, Texas, and Wyoming. Those aren’t going to be stopped no matter what Trump wants.
His aggression towards windmills is so odd. I hope progress towards renewable energy is still able to be made
Don Quixote…too perfect 😆
Don Quixote, goddamn 🤣
Why tho
A billion-dollar bribe — wind turbines directly compete with fossil gas as an electricity source.
there’s also that time he whined and cried all the way to uk supreme court to try to stop a windfarm. losing once… twice… “three times a loser”.
About fucking had it with these dragons holding us back.
what really cements them as abjectly evil in my mind is that they could just, you know, buy a wind turbine manufacturer, but noooooooooo instead they’ll fight to kill wind turbines because that’s 5% more profitable
we’re not even demanding that they stop making profit, just that they make slightly less profit so as to not poison the entire planet for fuck’s sake
We’re not even demanding that they make less profitm I’m sure theres loads of profit in a diverse clean energy portfolio. I’m sure a lot of people would buy their own renewables for their home. You could sell tones of shit here. They just dont want to change. They have grown fat with greed in their thrones. Their apathy knows no bounds.
This simple:
Trump’s battle against “windmills” began back in 2006 after he had purchased seaside land for a golf course and subsequently learned that a wind farm was being planned offshore. This annoyed him because it would disturb the view and possibly eat into profits. His attempts to prevent the construction of the wind farm turned into a feud with the Scottish government, and in Trump’s mind, converted the wind turbines into giants that needed to be attacked.
“You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody.”
That’s it. Old man hates windmills. Nothing else to it.
And thought just continues to show his utter lack of taste because wind turbines are beautiful. I love driving by wind farms.
We have them on many places here in Europe, and sometimes they are a very nice sight when traveling.
They fit really well into a green landscape, but not so much in a concrete jungle.
Sure. Who needs greener,cheaper power.
And jobs
That’s pretty dangerous. Four years of no projects being build could kill an industry and drive away the skilled people. By the time a sane government gets established again the companies may be gone and people would be otherwise engaged, so a quick bounce back wouldn’t really be possible either.
Free market, fuck face.
Energy markets have never been free in that sense. It’s always been about government support.
You sure bout that?
No
I’m not at all excited about the way our climate is going, but there’s a bit of a silver lining in Trump likely being the guy to put mar-a-largo under the mar
Time to start researching if I can build my own wind turbine, I suppose…
How big do you want it? https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=DIY+wind+turbine&ia=web
I’m on a city lot, I’m pretty sure zoning requirements make my comment a joke.
There are designs intended for installation on urban buildings, but so far, they’ve not proved to be a more cost-effective spend than rooftop solar; there are really huge economies of scale which generally mean that it makes more sense to have community ownership of one big turbine somewhere.
