Trump calls wind turbines "losers".

@randahl Anything Trump calls a "loser" is just something he and his owners don't control.

Oh no, now we got to invade that country ...

@randahl

You might need to check your sources. Maybe there is an issue with the year of that data or what power consumption it refers to:

The US' percent of power generated isn't as good but we do have a lot more than I thought we did:

P.S. Wind power is not a "loser". Our president projects a lot of his own insecurities.

Honest question. In Denmark, are your houses heated with electricity or gaz?

I live in Quebec and most of our houses are heated with electricity, so when we hear 92% from wind turbines, it blows our minds because the largest part of our electricity usage goes to heating and it is a lot.

If your houses are heated with electricity and your produce 92% of it with wind turbines, well, I'm impressed.

Every day I love Denmark a little more.

Trump is a dummy.

[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.

[dyckron@mstdn.ca]

@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.
