ROTFL. If you shut down the power plants, where in the hell are the remaining 320 million AMERICANs and 35 million illegal aliens going to get their electricity? Hmmmmm?

Put the first farms adjacent to Biden’s Delaware houses.

I think that the entire south coast of Cape Cod should be lined with huge windmills and that the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard should be surrounded by them.

Same goes for the waters off of Malibu and Fairfield County,Connecticut.

Biden says he plans this. They do nothing.

500 million people waiting for test kits. Now there are 500 million more

They don’t see Hunter, his art gallery laundry, ex wife, baby mama, crack head video, bag man status, perpetual grieving for his lost mother, perpetual neglect from his lying father and associate that with the u s and what that horrible me father of his is doing to us

Hunter’s gotta be saying once in a while, ‘welcome to my world’

Buried in the article is this little nugget of truth:

However, some research has indicated that wind is unreliable, both because it relies on taxpayer funding and doesn’t produce a consistent amount of energy. Because of its inconsistency, wind may also lead to greenhouse gas emissions since it requires backup fossil fuel-powered energy sources.

“Wind is not consistent and cannot be relied upon to generate the electricity demanded by U.S. consumers,” a report on wind energy published by the Utah State University Institute of Political Economy stated.”

Nary a PEEP from environmentalists about the outright DESTRUCTION OF SCENIC BEAUTY attributable to wind turbines.

AND nary a PEEP from PETA regarding the MASSIVE numbers of BIRDS slaughtered by wind turbines. Along the coast, this would result in large numbers of DEAD sea birds such as Pelicans, Seagulls, Terns, and MIGRATING FLOCKS of ducks, geese, cranes, etc..

Paging Ansel Adams.. HE WOULD NOT APPROVE!

Wind Turbine Blades Can’t Be Recycled, So They’re Piling Up in Landfills

To build these wind turbines is pointless if they don’t have transmission lines to move the power.

Almost all of the sites convenient to transmission lines have already been developed for wind or solar power.

You don’t just walk in and put up transmission lines.

The utility worked for tried for decades to put in a new transmission line that was only going to be 50 miles long.

The NIMBY fight went on for years through courts and regulators.

Finally, the company gave up.

If you can’t get the power to where it can be used your fields of wind weeds are useless.

Epic Fail....

If I did the conversion right, that's 30 1000mw Nuclear Powerplants. That's 1 1000mw units / 30 states, or if you build 2 on a given site, that's 15 states w/ 2. That's way more Jobs and no Sea-Shore-eye sore and I don't care how far off shore they put them...

We will have power only a third of the time, and they will be trash in 10 years. Let’s fill the landfills! Let’s go Brandon!

Burning wood is solar and wind power. The trees grew thanks to the sun and the wind that brought the rains. So when you chop a tree down or pick up the wind-fallen branches, you are using renewable energy. OK? So take your wind farms and stick ‘em where the birds won’t get chopped to bits.

“...government-funded wind farms along the east coast...”

Have they run this past the Kennedys? They’ve been VERY efficient in keeping those ugly towers out of their pristine views.

Bad things happen when you cross them. Bad things like dying...
