The Wind is a Very Deceiving Thing

[donquixote99]

As we talk about all sorts of things related to Trump, I think we need at times to ground ourselves by going back to the original source, this is, to Trump himself. The topic here is windmill-generated power, and our President-elect had the following to say....

Oh, I see. I might have brought it up. But not having to do with me, just I mean, the wind is a very deceiving thing. First of all, we don’t make the windmills in the United States. They’re made in Germany and Japan. They’re made out of massive amounts of steel, which goes into the atmosphere, whether it’s in our country or not, it goes into the atmosphere. The windmills kill birds and the windmills need massive subsidies. In other words, we’re subsidizing wind mills all over this country. I mean, for the most part they don’t work. I don’t think they work at all without subsidy, and that bothers me, and they kill all the birds. You go to a windmill, you know in California they have the, what is it? The golden eagle? And they’re like, if you shoot a golden eagle, they go to jail for five years and yet they kill them by, they actually have to get permits that they’re only allowed to kill 30 or something in one year. The windmills are devastating to the bird population, O.K. With that being said, there’s a place for them. But they do need subsidy. So, if I talk negatively. I’ve been saying the same thing for years about you know, the wind industry. I wouldn’t want to subsidize it. Some environmentalists agree with me very much because of all of the things I just said, including the birds, and some don’t. But it’s hard to explain. I don’t care about anything having to do with anything having to do with anything other than the country.

This is from the NY Times interview of Nov 22. It's about 1/2 way down....

That quote was worthy of Sarah Palin.
Trumpolini hates wind turbines because he thinks they'll destroy his view on his Scottish golf course.

His point is what it is as I see it, pointy. And that's not a good thing because pointy things can poke your eye out. So anyways what I think he's saying is that it's about America and jobs and all those angry coal miners in Rhode Island. You see, the sky. Coal goes in it, but that's better than breathing steel even if you're in Japan or wherever. Did I tell you I love nuclear war? But the birds don't care because they're all dead. The windmills killed them because it's illegal in California. And where will we be now that all of the birds are dead?
By the way, that's a lovely tie you're wearing. Is it one of mine?

I think the point is........Gibberish from a demented mind.
