From a rant to the Turning Point USA loons:
I never understood wind. I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?
So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right spewing, whether it is China or Germany, is going into the air.
So they make these things and then they put them up. And if you own a house within vision of some of these monsters, your house is worth 50 percent of the price. They’re noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? You just go. Take a look. A bird graveyard. Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen ever in your life. You know, in California, they were killing the bald eagle. If you shoot a bald eagle, they want to put you in jail for 10 years. A windmill will kill many bald eagles. It’s true.
What wisdom and insight.
Let's unpack just a few points:
- He "knows windmills very much" and "has studied it better than anybody." Uh huh.
- The windmill manufacturing industry in the United States employs tens of thousands of workers and generates billions in revenue.
- Yes, I know we have a world.
- Yes, the world is tiny in comparison to the universe! Ten points to Slytherin!
- Fumes are spewing. Good to know.
- Fossil fuel plants kill almost 3000 times more birds than windmills.
And the loons cheer him on for this senile drivel.
So, so proud.
