I personally have no use for wind turbines which I certainly wouldn't define them as "green." They are anything but "green."

They have been worse than useless at slowing the acceleration of the collapse of the planetary atmosphere, which is accelerating despite the squandering of trillions of dollars on wind (and solar).

They were never about reducing the use of fossil fuels, and their existence and operation depends on access to fossil fuels.

They were all about attacking nuclear energy. The Germans didn't phase out coal with their wind turbine bullshit. They phased out nuclear energy. They embraced coal.

The results are in: So much for "Nuclear Energy Is Too Expensive."

The orange slime mold in the White House may not know why wind turbines are a terrible idea, but that fact that he opposes them does not make them a good idea, any more than Hitler's enthusiasm for the Volkwagen Bug made the Bug a bad car in its time.

The wind industry is a disgrace to any environmentalist who does what environmentalists used to do, defend wilderness from industrialization.
