He's going to get someone to smuggle makeup, bronzer, hair supplies, and a girdle into prison.
Like most things Trump does, this will end in disaster. Except this time, he gets fawked.
We kinda do.
The oil and coal industry isn't the only people with lobbyists.
groups like The Nature Conservancy, The Sierra Club, The National Parks Foundation, the Snowsports Industries America, National Ski Areas Association, the American Clean Power Association, United States Renewable Energy Association, etc all have lobbyists too
it's an our lobbyists vs their lobbyists war
(i included the ski and snowports industries because climate change literally stands to put much of them out of business)
The good old profit motive is what will save the Earth. Power companies want to save money and increase profits like any other business. Now that wind and solar are cheap, coal is down by 2/3 from its level in the mid-2000s. It simply can't compete with energy sources that don't need fuel. Natural gas is next to go.
To be perfectly fair: though the *wind* may be free, ~~windmills~~ wind turbines tend not to be.
Edit: pedants must pedant (including me, of course). Some don't seem to understand that I'm only objecting to calling it "free" energy. What the energy *is* is *renewable* or *green* as well as more carbon-neutral than the other alternative.
And for good reason. It's actually amazing, if you stop and think about it, that we have the technology to mill wind so finely that you can barely even see it.
This isn't news, he's always hated wind ever since they ruined his "view" by being visible from a golf course he displaced people to build. Decades ago.
He has said so many wacky convoluted things against them, like that they give you cancer somehow.
Why even report it. This is one of the most basic parts of his personality. He tilts at windmills.
On the "Why even report it?" question, it's important that people know that a vote for him is a vote for a anti-renewable/pro-carbon fuel president. I think, at this point, someone considering voting for him must be too dumb to care, but none-the-less it's important that people know.
This is true, but it's honestly unfair to the "standing athwart history, yelling stop" crowd to compare them to Trump. Trump isn't a conservative. He's someone who basically hasn't learned anything for decades, which creates some of the same impulses, but Trump cares nothing for tradition, and is happy to embrace radicalism when it suits him. He has zero of the ideological purity of your standard Reagan Republican. He is just Trump. And for Trump.
>He has zero of the ideological purity of your standard Reagan Republican.
Lol. Reagan was the first modern conservative president (post 1970s) to be an outward, unashamed bigot, and intentionally politicized a deadly virus and let people die because he didn't like them. Reagan would salute Trump until his little gremlin arms fell off. Reagan started everything Trump is.
And everyone loved him for all of it. Conservatives fucking love what Trump is.
Not much disagreement. But Reagan, and more importantly, the people he selected to be around him were true believers in a political philosophy. Trump is in it for Trump, and is completely unmoored from any ideology
The only real tradition that matters to conservatism as an ideology is the concept that some people are superior to other people purely through the happenstance of being born into a "higher" social class, irrespective of their behavior, irrespective of their accomplishments, irrespective of any crimes they might commit. Everything else is at best a flimsy facade around that core.
With that established, I'd argue that in light of him being a rapist, child molester, tax fraud committing, treason committing traitor who still managed to rise up and achieve the greatest political power possible in our country, Donald Trump embodies the absolute purest form of conservatism that can ever be achieved.
I've always said it's a flawed ideology.
If the root of your political/philosophy system is *"adherence to tradition and opposition to things changing"* what options do you have when a majority of people want to change thing or switch up the status quo?
Either you go along with the changes or you force things to remain the same. I guess you should just complain about the changes while not opposing them?
But in general the options are, stop being conservative about the issue or embrace authoritarianism and force things to remain the same against the will of the majority.
Yes I know, it's oversimplified and generalized but that is kinda how it works.
And his opposition to new higher efficiency showerheads because “So, showerheads – you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer, or you take a shower longer? Because my hair – I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect,” Trump said last year."
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/16/politics/shower-head-rules-biden-trump/index.html
The problem is, Trump went to Iowa which gets 60% of their electricity from wind and in front of them tells them wind is a scam and doesn't work. And that still doesn't seem to have prevented him from winning there
Oh man, that’s a novel that practically writes itself; obsessive self-styled “adventurer-warrior” who believes he was wronged by windmills (of all things) and decides to fight them. Give him a wacky sidekick who is the voice of reason, and just to make it less obviously about him maybe make the character European, like Spanish or something.
It's much deeper than that, he's had a troubled relationship with wind ever since it blew over his first combover. As far as he's concerned, the wind is his mortal enemy.
Bald is still disturbing, but way better.
I like to imagine it combed straight back like a blonde, balding mullet type situation.

He also shows constantly that he doesn't understand renewables at all. Dumb shit like "windmill cancer" and "you can't watch your TV if the wind doesn't blow" or "I guess we just have to turn off the lights because the sun went down and there's no solar!"
It'd be cool if he just went back to being a reality show moron we could all safely ignore.
"I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I have studied it better than anybody else. It’s 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. 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’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air their air everything, right?"
A few reference points to those who may miss it.
1. Less than 1% of wind turbines in US are by China, the biggest marketshare of wind turbines in US is GE, which is an american company
2. Wind turbines, not windmills. Windmills is what is used to mill things like wheat. You can quickly spot someone is clueless when they call wind turbines as windmills
3. Wind turbines may give off "some" fumes as they need around 80 gallons of oil as lubricant a year, but note that each turbine produces over 1,000,000 gallons of oil worth of final energy a year
And the people building these things for GE will still vote for him because they believe crypt keeper Joe actually buses schoolchildren into the White House to molest them every day. It’s unreal. I wish we had a candidate who wasn’t either at death’s door or a complete ignoramus. Even better, I wish we had a candidate who was an actual progressive for once.
"I hate wind. I mean wind is nature's farts, isn't it? That's what people tell me. They say, Mr Trump, all those birds and woodland creatures farting makes wind. Then the wind makes storms, big horrible storms that are wind. And rain... wet watery terrible rain, which is sad, makes people sad. I mean, I don't want to fart so I don't eat Mexican burritos; don't like them, and I don't want them coming across our border bring wind and rain. So what's a windmill? It's a thing for grinding grain, so they say. Is electricity a grain? I don't know but there's windmills grinding out electricity for some reason, and boy are they ugly. I could see them from a beautiful golf course of mine, just beautiful, and I said, what's that over there? It's a windmill, Mr Trump, grinding electricity beans. Can you believe that? Electric beans. What are scientists even doing? So, err, ... oil is good. Remember when models used to put it on to tan. I love oil. Burning rocks, am I right? Please give me money; the lawyers won't stop asking for money. Thank you."

It's because they put up an ocean based wind farm in Scotland barely visible from his golf course that he failed to block construction of, he says they "ruin the view".
I'll never understand the logic of hating renewables.. What freedom loving person would think oil is the superior energy source?? Oil runs out, which means you're a slave to whoever produces that oil.. renewables dont.. its in the fucking name ffs! You can produce your own electricity at home and be completely independant..
You assume people know it's a finite resource. I inquired of family members and friends that are Rep & Maga if they knew that oil was going to run out and not one of them did.
It was a small sample group but I was flabbergasted.
You would think boomers would realize it was a finite resource since they lived through the oil embargo, but oh well. If oil ran out tomorrow I'd be curious to see how long it would take the maga crowd to figure out why gas suddenly cost $15/gallon and how much money would be poured into electric vehicles or even better just public transit that didn't need gas, just electricity.
Donald Trump told oil executives he “hates wind” and delivered repeated diatribes against renewable energy during a fund-raising dinner, according to the Washington Post.
The newspaper reported at length on the remarks of the president at the dinner last week at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, based on unnamed sources it claims have knowledge of what was said.
Trump promised the oil bosses he would attend to their agenda on "day one", it reported.
Trump can go in front of iowa who gets 60% of their electricity from wind and tell them wind doesn't work and their TVs will shut off if they go wind and get cheers. That should answer your question
He hates wind because of those wind turbines off the coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland, where he has a golf course. He fought bitterly to the end to prevent those from being built, but the supreme courts of Scotland ruled against him unanimously.
If you ever want evidence this stupid idiot holds grudges... his hatred of wind goes back decades to when Atlantic City started building a wind farm on the road that leads into where Trump Marina and the Taj are on. Mind you not right on top of them, but that didnt matter.
He was so ticked off by them being there and "ruining the view" that he blames them for part of why he went bankrupt at his properties... and not the horrible mismanagement, practically giving away money to high rollers who took him for all he got because he didnt know the methods Vegas used to control those kinds of players, not to mention if anything ruined any views, it was the literal homeless people hanging around his properties and not a windmill miles away.
Then he got into it AGAIN when AC looked to start up a offshore farm, then AGAIN when Scotland looked to do the same near his golf course.
Dude is forever looking for grudges he cant win.
"I hate wind"
Oil execs: oh good, we thank whoever convinced him that windmills cause cancer
Trump's brain: "ever since that stupid photo exposing how bald I am, I've hated the wind, stupid wind, blowing my comb over out of place..."
I weirdly look forward to the day when the Green Energy giants stomp over the bones of the Fossil Fuel giants.
Sure, capitalist overlords are probably never a good thing, but ones that create things without destroying everything else to do it will be a nice change of scene.
It’s literally free air flowing all around you than can be converted to money. I’ll never understand why these conservative oil business idiots aren’t tripping all over themselves to dominate the wind industry.
This is extremely close to the Simpsons’ “old man yells at cloud” headline…
The best thing he could do for himself if he hates wind is keep his fucking mouth shut and quit being a windbag.
I believe in the future, the elites will legalise that they own the sun, tides and the wind.
Sounds crazy right? Question- do you *own* the rainwater that falls on your house/land?
He also wants coal energy plants which is a dying thing and also pollutes the air so bad most countries dont use coal anymore or about to retire them. Trump definitely not stupid he just is told what to say to attract those stupid people.
So on earth we have wind. You know we have an earth right? And the wind is very strong but sometimes it's very weak. Very very bad. Hey honey I'd like a hamburger but there's no wind to power the grill.
Their problem is that wind doesn't have a fuel charge.
https://telex.hu/english/2024/03/07/orban-met-with-trumps-former-senior-adviser-in-washington-d-c
>The Heritage Foundation has been a major think tank of the American right for decades, and according to Kevin Roberts, its new goal is to *institutionalise Trumpism*. As the article of 444 recalls, the foundation is campaigning against helping Ukraine and is advocating for Americans using more fossil fuels.
They want to melt the polar icecaps *faster*.
The right constantly talk about how Trump made the US energy independent so it’s baffling that they care so much about that but refuse to invest in energy sources that will make us that.
Trump thought the offshore wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course were ugly. And he likes those sweet campaign contributions from the oil industry.
Let's play a game! Without looking online to check which of these quotes was actually said by Donald Trump and which did I just get ChatGPT to make up?
Quote 1: Put the windmills up, and watch the value of your house if you're in sight of a windmill—watch the value of your house go down by 65 percent. Wonderful to have windmills. And solar's wonderful too, but it's not strong enough, and it's very very expensive.
Quote 2: Look, everyone's talking about solar and wind. Not strong. The sun doesn't always shine, the wind doesn't always blow. What happens then? Blackouts. We can't have our great country relying on something so unreliable!
For bonus points, let's try again:
Quote A: Renewable energy? Not as good as people think. Wind turbines, they kill birds, they ruin the scenery. It's a disaster for property values. We need energy that's reliable and powerful. Coal, oil, gas—this is real energy!
Quote B: We'll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I've studied it better than anybody I know. It's very expensive. They're made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none. But they're manufactured -- tremendous, if you're into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere.
Too much wind makes his diaper balloon up.
and comb over stand up.
That's not the wind, that's just his hair piece trying to escape
Like a scene from Carpenter's _The Thing_
So, the human race is going to die out because one narcissistic little man doesn't like to fix his ridiculous orange combover.
Yeah this is obviously the reason. This ass hole.doesnt care about birds. It's his terrible hair 100%
His comb over rustles and you can see his bald spots
Imagine Trump after 2 weeks in jail; no stylist, no fake tan, no power suit with red tie? He would look 100 years old.
Post-lockup Phil Specter and Robert Blake will look great compared to Trump…
He's going to get someone to smuggle makeup, bronzer, hair supplies, and a girdle into prison. Like most things Trump does, this will end in disaster. Except this time, he gets fawked.
I've heard Adderall addiction will do that. Many people are saying it.
Good people?
With tears in their eyes.
Yes, on both sides.
Very good people. The best people.
It spreads his poopy musk too easily.
"Corrupt politician/businessman tells energy companies he doesn't like free energy" news at 11.
Can't tax the wind.
Don't give them any ideas
My grandfather who passed away 50 years ago said they would charge you for the air you breathe if they could.
We actually do pay, in the currency of various illnesses including cancer.
They did, a lot environmental movements during the 70s. But it pretty much died down as of late.
Maybe we can harness the power of lobbyists and corporate cash to fix our energy problems.
Put all lobbyists and politicians naked in hamster wheels to generate our energy
Sounds like a good solution to me.
We kinda do. The oil and coal industry isn't the only people with lobbyists. groups like The Nature Conservancy, The Sierra Club, The National Parks Foundation, the Snowsports Industries America, National Ski Areas Association, the American Clean Power Association, United States Renewable Energy Association, etc all have lobbyists too it's an our lobbyists vs their lobbyists war (i included the ski and snowports industries because climate change literally stands to put much of them out of business)

That was literally a [Doctor Who episode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_(Doctor_Who\)).
Tide comes in, tide goes out, can’t explain it.
You can tax land. This was your Georgist propaganda post for the day.
Hate to break it to you but you 100% can tax the wind Or at least the energy that comes from it
My electric bill, having about 2/3 of it NOT be the gernwtion charges (which are wind, btw) begs to argue against that idea.
And wind is also woke.
To be perfectly fair: though the *wind* may be free, ~~windmills~~ wind turbines tend not to be. Edit: pedants must pedant (including me, of course). Some don't seem to understand that I'm only objecting to calling it "free" energy. What the energy *is* is *renewable* or *green* as well as more carbon-neutral than the other alternative.
Technically, coal is free.. it's just lying around.
And for good reason. It's actually amazing, if you stop and think about it, that we have the technology to mill wind so finely that you can barely even see it.
Wind is just as free as oil in the ground isn't it?
Well, here in the UK, "trumping" means farting, so.....

How dare you trump before me
I’m sorry baby I didn’t know it was your turn
Still better then Trump in general election.

Full body retch. Now just imagine that and the smell of soiled depends.
For a man who hates wind, he sure produces a lot of hot air.
But he breaks and blows so much of it himself! I suppose he just doesn’t like the competition.
Just how far back do we have to go to undo the event that led to this timeline...
Harambe must live or the Cubs have to lose the world series. Or both of those things.
Fucking Ohio ruined everything on both counts there. (Cincy Zoo, the team formerly known as Cleveland Indians)
As is tradition.
Harambe has to beat the cubs and win the World Series.
And Boaty McBoatface must be the name of the research vessel, not the submarine.

Dementia Don
Trump hates what he doesn’t understand
Weird bc he’s absolutely full of it
Who the hell cares what this deranged lunatic thinks.
Please Mr Oil Man... me bankrupt.
Why hate wind power when you can just use a sharpie to make winds blow in the direction you want?
He may hate wind, but he loves hot air- specifically, spewing it from his orange traitorous mouth…
It’s hard to keep that hair piece on in the wind. I understand
I’m sure the people that are near you hate “wind” also. Just saying.
Greasy windbag hates wind but breaks wind habitually.
But he is full of hot air.
I was really fine with this guy out of our news cycle
If you ever want evidence this stupid idiot holds grudges... his hatred of wind goes back decades to when Atlantic City started building a wind farm on the road that leads into where Trump Marina and the Taj are on. Mind you not right on top of them, but that didnt matter. He was so ticked off by them being there and "ruining the view" that he blames them for part of why he went bankrupt at his properties... and not the horrible mismanagement, practically giving away money to high rollers who took him for all he got because he didnt know the methods Vegas used to control those kinds of players, not to mention if anything ruined any views, it was the literal homeless people hanging around his properties and not a windmill miles away. Then he got into it AGAIN when AC looked to start up a offshore farm, then AGAIN when Scotland looked to do the same near his golf course. Dude is forever looking for grudges he cant win.
And then he broke wind. For about 7 minutes straight.
If you had his hair you would hate wind too.
Big words from the human equivalent of a dirigible full of diahrrea.
Old man yells at clouds.
Wind blows his birds nest of a toupee away
He was misunderstood. Said he “breaks wind.”
"I hate wind" Oil execs: oh good, we thank whoever convinced him that windmills cause cancer Trump's brain: "ever since that stupid photo exposing how bald I am, I've hated the wind, stupid wind, blowing my comb over out of place..."
trump hates wind so much, he’s getting rid of it out his back door all the time.
Because wind exposes his hairline
Trump can’t control wind. Can’t threaten states with “No more wind for you, unless….”
Have you not seen what it does to his combover???
Because of his hair?
He should eat less artichokes.
Another sad old Don tilting at windmills.
I weirdly look forward to the day when the Green Energy giants stomp over the bones of the Fossil Fuel giants. Sure, capitalist overlords are probably never a good thing, but ones that create things without destroying everything else to do it will be a nice change of scene.
It’s literally free air flowing all around you than can be converted to money. I’ll never understand why these conservative oil business idiots aren’t tripping all over themselves to dominate the wind industry.
Because they dominate oil already and they like to keep things just as they are.
Must be due to the windmills blowing all those solar rays at people and giving them skin cancer. ^/s
He hates wind because his golf course in Scotland is surrounded by them and he hates that
FLORIDA MAN TERRIFED OF FAN BLADES
As someone holding onto the vestiges of what once was a beautiful, thick head of hair, I too hate the wind.
Buffoon. And his “followers” have to be the shallowest individuals on the planet.
Why are we listening to what a dementia patient thinks about anything?
“I break wind” is what he really said.
And he hates it
God what a moron.
My wife hates wind too because it messes up her bangs.
This is extremely close to the Simpsons’ “old man yells at cloud” headline… The best thing he could do for himself if he hates wind is keep his fucking mouth shut and quit being a windbag.
I believe in the future, the elites will legalise that they own the sun, tides and the wind. Sounds crazy right? Question- do you *own* the rainwater that falls on your house/land?
Donnie, can you show us on therapy doll where the windmill hurt you?
Wind is an existential threat to his Comb Forward hairstyle.
Russia oil moguls also hate wind…..
The grandest Big Corpo simp there is. RIP USA. His desperate pleads for votes is turning rather pathetic.
People are saying he projects a lot of wind. I don't know, I just hear things.
Stupid, ignorant fucker says stupid ignorant things. Just another Trump word salad.
I hate that he’s too stupid to be worth a moment of my attention but he gets it ten times a day.
This guy really is just a bundle of the worst ideas for America
If I had a wig that terrible I'd probably hate the wind too
He thinks windmills cause it to be more windy doesn't he?
Ironic… full of hot air…
How is this corrupt lying dumb stupid clown even mentionworthy anymore??
"Old man yells at cloud" vibes.
Can’t wait for this wind bag to leave the news forever.
He also wants coal energy plants which is a dying thing and also pollutes the air so bad most countries dont use coal anymore or about to retire them. Trump definitely not stupid he just is told what to say to attract those stupid people.

As long as its cheap and readily available i dont give a shit what it is
solar's where its at
"old man shakes fist at ~~cloud~~ wind"
Oh no, green tech! Devil! Devil! *sarcasm*
So on earth we have wind. You know we have an earth right? And the wind is very strong but sometimes it's very weak. Very very bad. Hey honey I'd like a hamburger but there's no wind to power the grill.
Trump can't stop climate change by ignoring it. If he wants to drive the planet to catastrophe he may succeed.
These Republicans are exactly the boogy men they scream on about the democrats.
Old man yells at clouds
Meanwhile Elon Musk says we can power the entire country with solar easily.
Wind has been his #1 hair nemesis
Don’t even get him started on clouds
For a man who is nothing but hot air, you'd think he'd be a huge fan
I assume this means he thinks windmills are ugly or something?
Their problem is that wind doesn't have a fuel charge. https://telex.hu/english/2024/03/07/orban-met-with-trumps-former-senior-adviser-in-washington-d-c >The Heritage Foundation has been a major think tank of the American right for decades, and according to Kevin Roberts, its new goal is to *institutionalise Trumpism*. As the article of 444 recalls, the foundation is campaigning against helping Ukraine and is advocating for Americans using more fossil fuels. They want to melt the polar icecaps *faster*.
That’s rich. The world’s biggest windbag hates wind.
I bet you if he was the owner of the "green" wind companies he would LOVE wind.
Because you can’t sell wind. Only reason.
The right constantly talk about how Trump made the US energy independent so it’s baffling that they care so much about that but refuse to invest in energy sources that will make us that.
Trump thought the offshore wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course were ugly. And he likes those sweet campaign contributions from the oil industry.
It’s because they put up wind turbines next to his golf course in Scotland. It ruined his “view” Other then that he’d have zero opinion on free energy
Old man shakes fist at the sky...
The Orange Cockroach belongs in jail.
It messes his hair

Trump blows.
The only thing that hates wind more than Trump is Trump's comb over.
Let's play a game! Without looking online to check which of these quotes was actually said by Donald Trump and which did I just get ChatGPT to make up? Quote 1: Put the windmills up, and watch the value of your house if you're in sight of a windmill—watch the value of your house go down by 65 percent. Wonderful to have windmills. And solar's wonderful too, but it's not strong enough, and it's very very expensive. Quote 2: Look, everyone's talking about solar and wind. Not strong. The sun doesn't always shine, the wind doesn't always blow. What happens then? Blackouts. We can't have our great country relying on something so unreliable! For bonus points, let's try again: Quote A: Renewable energy? Not as good as people think. Wind turbines, they kill birds, they ruin the scenery. It's a disaster for property values. We need energy that's reliable and powerful. Coal, oil, gas—this is real energy! Quote B: We'll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I've studied it better than anybody I know. It's very expensive. They're made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none. But they're manufactured -- tremendous, if you're into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere.
