6. As an opponent of wind energy AND the orange pedophile...

...I'm ambivalent.

The wind industry is tightly dependent on dangerous fossil fuels. Perhaps if the orange pedophile was educated about energy, he would be cheering for wind.

He is not educated about energy however. Neither are, in my view, people who regard so called "renewable energy" as if it were a good thing. The land, sea and mass implications are atrocious and unsustainable.

The popularity of so called "renewable energy" is one reason the collapse of the planetary atmosphere has accelerated in this century. It's nothing different than treating cancer with prayer and laetrile, the latter involving cyanide, a popular and sometimes widely believed lie.

"Renewable energy" has demonstrated, at a cost of trillions of dollars, no result in addressing the use of fossil fuels, none, zero.

It was, however, never about attacking fossil fuels.

It's sole purpose was to attack nuclear energy, its only success, a pernicious success with baleful implications on the future.

The Germans didn't shut their coal plants by embracing the "renewable energy" fantasy. They shut their clean nuclear plants They embraced coal. Their carbon intensity is thus deplorable, obscenely worse than neighboring France.

These realities may not be popular to recognize on our end of the political spectrum but they are what they are, realities.
