Wind isn't being "forced". Numerous countries across the world have adopted the technology willingly and gratefully. They probably haven't had too many people getting squished by falling windmills, I guess.

Yeah.... Mother Nature can usually be counted on to clean up many of human beings' messes. But I hardly see that as good reasoning to continue pushing the envelope and our luck along with it.

There have only been 15 events involving nuclear power that have been on the International Nuclear Event Scale and only 2 have reached the highest level. 1: Chernobyl (Communist cheapness and incompetence) and 2: Fukishima (a massive earthquake out at sea which caused a tsunami and also dropped the elevation of Fukishima it was that big of a plate movement) and only 42 people have been directly killed. The majority of those from Chernobyl. This is from 62 years of nuclear power by the way, things have only gotten safer.

Wind IS being forced, it's being subsidized out the wazoo, that's FORCE it's the force of our tax dollars backing a kind of energy which ain't all that wonderful.

Well I guess millions upon millions should look forward to death by the elements and starvation just like the old days.

Maybe Trump will get re-elected and opt out of wind altogether. You know... some kind of decree or something. Meanwhile, other countries will continue to R&D the shit out of renewables and the U.S. can be left in the dust.
Coal dust, to be specific.

At least we seem to agree on nuclear.

Wait,..... Did he just say "MAYBE" Trump will get reelected?

Yes I did, Broc..... er..... Fats. Only sure things in life are death and taxes.

True Tito. And don't take what I said about radiation spawning hurricanes the wrong way on the climate thread. But I did just read there is a correlation in a science journal of Hungary.

All that's missing is the laugh track.

“I never understood wind,” Trump said, according to Mediaite. “I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is 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 and 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 is China or Germany, is going into the air,” the president added.

Normally the National Medal of Science is awarded by the President. Rumor has it based on this speech alone, serious consideration is being given to Trump being the recipient instead.

Seriously...... I think Trump keeps talking while his brain is stripping its gears. It's the only explanation for the pure garbage that spews out of his mouth.

He does get a good laugh, though.

for the past three and a half years I have listened to practically every speech and rally that President Trump has given and I have never heard him say anything like this. This must be one isolated and out of context excerpt just tried to make him look bad. Just like the one of Obama saying hold up hold up hold up hold up. it was just an excerpt which tried to make him look like he was speaking some ghetto nonsense when in fact he was a very good speaker albeit with a teleprompter. so yeah I'm sure you can find some excerpts like that of trump or anybody else for that matter.
