Trump's wind energy assault sinks permitting reform - Senate Environment & Public Works Committee

2. Wind energy is not cheap, clean, or green.

Sure, the creature-who-shall-not-be-named opposes it, but it's for all the wrong reasons.

Integrating wind energy into a reliable electric grid is EXPENSIVE and will only prolong our dependence on natural gas, thus doing nothing in the long run to reduce the total amount of greenhouse gasses humans ultimately dump into the atmosphere.

I don't want to see wind turbines off the California coast. We won't save the world by trashing it with these short-lived, high maintenance, follies.

As some kind of radical environmentalist I prioritize my opposition to massive data centers, factory farm meat and dairy production, and car culture.

The people with the smallest environmental footprints generally live in cities, don't own cars, and enjoy a mostly vegetarian diet.
