Dotard went on an insane, rambling, error-filled rant, against one of his favorite targets, while those who heard it gave him a WTF look.
And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” Trump said. “They’re killing us.”
He added:
“They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains ― and I’m not talking about airplanes. I’m talking about beautiful plains, beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them.”
He complained that wind turbines “rust and rot in eight years,” and then can’t be “buried” because they will harm the soil.
Typical bullshit, from the Bullshitter in Chief.
The whole thing is a con job,” he said. “It’s very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and wind doesn’t work.”
Most of what the president said was wildly inaccurate: Germany gets more than a quarter of its energy from wind, turbines last about 30 years (not eight) according to the U.S Department of Energy, it’s not the most expensive form of energy, and they’re not “almost all” made in China.
Several users asked Grok, the AI tool within X, to fact-check Trump’s claims on wind power, and the responses are interesting…..
