Donald Trump Issues One of His Greatest Takedowns of Windmills

President Donald Trump continued his campaign against windmills on Saturday, issuing one of the most detailed takedowns to date of one of the environmentalist’s favorite forms of energy.

In a speech to Turning Point USA activists in Palm Beach Florida, the president mocked the idea of a windmill-driven economy proposed by Democrats promoting the “Green New Deal” in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail.

The dozens who died in Chernobyl were mainly working on site. Extensive documentation was made by non-Soviet sources.

Don't know why people are are fearmongering nuclear power. Must be secret greenies or just idiots.

Nobody here mentioned meltdown proof molten salt nuclear reactors. The ignorance is strong in this place.

How does it get in my lungs?

here's grab from your own reference ( https://www2.clarku.edu/departments/marsh/projects/community/plutonium.pdf), which you obviously didn't read:

for the idiot palmer

Do you breathe?
In particulate form, plutonium oxide at a particle size less than 10 micrometers (0.01 mm) is toxic if inhaled, due to its alpha-emission.

Of course I read it, idiot. Where are the 44 billion cancer cases, idiot?

Unless something has changed the cost to manufacture and deply a windmill is more that the cost of all the energy it will produce in its lifespan... without subsidies the entire wind industry would close shot tomorrow

Yes, I was there - it was great. Rush was emphasizing to the young skulls full of mush - without mentioning ‘HOW DARE YOU’’s name, that it’s a total HOAX.

Funny, right in the middle of his Silent Night Christmas-time signoff today at 2:58, he kept repeating - “It’s a HOAX. Man-made Climate Change is a HOAX!! And Merry Christmas to everyone”

yes      and YOU are ground zero

U.S. [sodium-cooled] nuclear plant had partial meltdown years before Three Mile Island

Yo might at Bats...to that...

Local Wind Power field..got a "Bald Eagle" exemption..had a number they could kill...Don't what that was...But we have a lot of Bald Eagles...here..

It's totally BS...

if you read it why did you ask "How does it get in my lungs?" post 40?     short term memory problem?

who, besides you, ever said anything about "44 billion cancer cases?"

It has been estimated that a pound (454 grams) of plutonium inhaled as plutonium oxide dust could give cancer to two million people.

I don’t know about ironic, but the fission produces heat to boil the liquid in the turbine, (could be water like you said, for hundreds of years but could also be a salt or metal and the fission reactor could be gen 4 with its automatic ability to shut down if anything goes wrong. I would say nuclear is the energy of the future like coal fired turbines were the system of the past.

Dozens, yeah right. According to the Soviet Union numbers? Yet there are still ‘no go’ zones. The radiation was over several countries. They had to kill multitude of livestock. But we want to go with just ‘dozens’ killed by the effects.

At least there is one thing we should be able to agree on.
Is there would be far more dead had their government not sent their unknowing citizens into near certain death.

I’m on vacation in Michigan right now. Just heard that a major wind farm in western Michigan was just canceled. Cool

automatic ability to shut down if anything goes wrong.

...well, see, there's the problem.

you can scram (shut down) the reactor, but you can't stop the nuclear reaction immediately. so it continues to produce heat which eventually melts the fuel rods which further impede the coolant which exacerbates fission which...

...well, hope you see where I'm going...

"No go" zones full of wildlife. Yet your claim was that a nuclear accident has " the potential to end all life as we know it in a VERY short time"

Keep your silly fear mongering to yourself and let rational people choose power sources.

If enough windmills were built to generate a SIGNIFICANT amount of energy, say 35%, it would change the climate faster than the burning of any fossil fuel because changing the wind changes the climate. Liberals never learn. You can’t get something for nothing.

recognizing the unnecessary catastrophic potential of nuclear is anything but "fear mongering"
