3. Really? The wind blows continuously in the Netherlands? Why don't they put sails on their trains?

The lies of the so called "renewable energy" industry are Trumpian in scale.

The truth is right here, where anyone can see it, unless they are really, really, really invested in lying to themselves and making the reality, um, worse: Well, above 400 ppm, and we ain't going back.

In twenty years, when the overwhelming bulk of the wind turbines now operating in Europe have become rotting rusting junk, we'll be well over 430 ppm, and Europe will still be what it is right now, a continent totally dependent on dangerous fossil fuels.

Except for France, and Norway, (although Norway recently built a gas powered electricity plant at Karsto, and it of course, exports gas to the rest of Europe) Europe has never eliminated its reliance on dangerous fossil fuels for its electricity, not Netherlands, not Germany, not Spain, not Italy.

The Trumpian lies by the so called "renewable energy" industry are causing the degradation of the atmosphere to accelerate.

Nobody, not the Dutch rails, not the German Bundestag, not the airheads in the European Greenpeace knows how to sort electrons to see if they are powered by wind.
