TFG hates wind power. HATES it.

Putin's boy toy defending dirty energy and mother's milk to Russian oligarchs' economy...

"I never understood wind’: Trump goes on bizarre tirade against wind turbines
President’s nonsensical rambling remarks about ‘windmills’ in segment from weekend speech raised eyebrows"

Says the Orangutan.

On the other hand, President Biden understands energy, jobs, power, science and independence.

"In his first week in office, President Biden issued an Executive Order that calls on our nation to build a new American infrastructure and clean energy economy that will create millions of new jobs. In particular, the President’s Order committed to expand opportunities for the offshore wind industry...."

outside his Aberdeen golf course. About 40 miles offshore, which means you can barely see the shore.

He sued, of course, and lost, of course, and now the Brit gummint says he owes them over $250 million in defense costs.

And they had an auction with over $700 milion going to Scottish pockets.

That's about 800 mill more than the golf course is making.

I wish there was more than an iceberg's chance in hell of that happening. But as we all know (and I'm sure they do, too), this is the guy who never ever pays his bills if he can help it.

I'm sure they're not holding their breath or anything, but I'd love it if he could be forced to cough up every last penny

The project was halted for various reasons including the impact on tourism and the impact on a rare mussel found in the nearby Dunbeg river.

So Trump's boss Putin hates windmills, and Trump obligingly tilts at them.

We seriously need to surround Florida with wind farms.
