Trump calls wind turbines "losers".

[wenhamtoo@mstdn.social]

@kevinrns @randahl Do you have a higher-res version of that?

[deinol@dice.camp]

@kevinrns @randahl

He’s not a dummy, he’s a liar and a conman. He doesn’t care one way or another about power, except you can bet he’s taking money from oil companies.

Everything he does is about ego or extortion.

Do you honestly think any significant percentage of the people on Mastodon agree with what Trump says?

[cmthiede@social.vivaldi.net]

@randahl we're all sharing the same planet, anyone looking to destroy it for a healthy profit should be answering to everyone, not just their own citizens. Nobody should have enough money to be able to launch shit into space. If so, they better have a reason that benefits us all, or they need to go.

[dcdeejay@mastodon.online]

@cmthiede I think you were right the first time - nobody should have that kind of money, period. Inexcusable failures of public policy to let it happen AND not claw it back IMO. @randahl

Meanwhile, right now, New Zealand is running on 99% renewable electricity.

@zl2tod @randahl Does New Zealand just have campaign finance laws that prevent bribery?

[zl2tod@mastodon.online]

@PatrickoftheG

Not sufficiently, sadly.

Every time the Bad Guys are in power they roll things back. They are in power now.

@zl2tod @PatrickoftheG @randahl yeah, sorry about our part in that, eh

@dyckron

Ta.

Yeah he is a big part of the problem, but he's just the monkey. Sadly a monkey with considerable power.

@PatrickoftheG @randahl

[zakalwe@plasmatrap.com]

@randahl@mastodon.social Yeah, well, let's face it, Trump is a blithering reality-challenged moron who thinks that windmills kill whales or something.

[s_d_brath@mastodon.social]

@randahl der blæser også en stiv pelikan (spændt på hvad folk der bruger oversættere får ud af den sætning).

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@randahl We can't do us. We have asshats in charge of approving the permits.

@zl2tod @randahl

Thank you Aunti 'Cinda !!

Renewable energy means an autonomous sovereign nation.

No bending the knee to fossil fuel funded fascists.

[ddetmer@mastodon.social]

@randahl Don’t listen to him. He’s not well.

@HikerGeek my source was the Danish electrical grid live stats found here:

@randahl Maybe we could have a MAGA-fired power plant. That ought to solve a couple of problems at once.

[zeank@mastodon.social]

@randahl T has most his money, his actual assets in real estate. And most of that is sea side. Once people believe there’s no chance to stop climate change, no chance to stop sea level rise, the value of his assets will drop to zero. It won’t happen once the water hits the stairs of the lobby but when people stop to believe the narrative. “Green energy” and wind in particular reminds people of something is at odds with this world and so he must fight it with whatever he can.
