Trump said something to that effect years ago. Can't remember the exact context or reasoning

Yeah, Trump did say that once.

EDIT: Specifically, he claimed that the noise from the turbines somehow causes cancer.

I think Trump said at one point they were a cancer but not sure if he said they cause it. Either way, he’s right. They’re a cancer to birds.

Trump understands manufacturing.

I’ll bet there’s a shite ton of hexavalent chromium let loose in the metal fab of those windmill motor bodies...

Trump was talking about the emissions from windmill construction and importation.

He said windmills kills all the birds and said he is okay with solar it’s just not at a level to be powerful enough to run our beautiful manufacturing plants yet.

Trump’s mind is going a million miles a second and he tends to leave a lot of gaps. He doesn’t realize the people he’s talking to aren’t up to speed on a lot of the topics he’s riffing on.

I guess the American public and mainly Democrats are too stupid to know that more emissions are released to the atmosphere building them than they save. I was surprised Sleepy Joe even mentioned them.

They talk about all these renewable energy options but fail to mention they require petroleum products to be built and function. You can’t build a windmill or solar panel without fossil fuels and that’s a fact. So, they can blow that horse shite somewhere else. There’s really a very limited amount of our modern lifestyle that isn’t completely reliant on petroleum products. Everything we do on a daily basis is either powered or uses parts that are built using fossil fuels. My personal favorite is when protestors drive their vehicle to protest the pipelines I work on. It’s pretty clear liberals have no idea how any of this works. Those same people go back to their house and cook and heat their homes with natural gas after they’ve just been protesting a pipeline that transports that same fuel to their house. It’s all a big fricking joke and is actually kind of comical when you stand back and look at it.

actually he was mixing up the impact of the industry of batteries and the impact of turbines on birds in california

fun fact...if texas was a state we would be ranked 5 in the production of energy in the world from wind...

we have ovet 30 hugh wind farms..and some of them are sitting over little stripper pump jacks.

The carbon footprint of manufacturing a Toyota Prius far outweighs that of driving a regular gas powered car for 150,000 miles

Trump should have hit him with every solution still has issues that still severely affect the environment.

Windmill industry has a disposal issue

According to Biden, you can get a job as “windmill “. Pays great too!
