Well…just got back from running errands that have finished up everything I have to do before the holiday, and as I wait for the temp to come up so I can ride without a stocking hat, I just had to comment on the idiot in chief’s comments at another of his damn rallies that you and I are paying for. As we all know from the idiot’s speeches and actions on renewable energy, he just hates wind and solar with a passion that is just not understandable…okay, it is when you know that repubs everywhere hate it, too…and it has been a platform plank of theirs forever…but just yesterday, the idiot was just jaw droppingly stupid when he went off on a rant where he said he “never understood wind…but I know windmills very much…I have studied it better than anybody…when they are manufactured, tremendous fumes and gasses are spewing into the atmosphere…you know we have a world, right?” Okay…first, this idiot has never studied anything in his life except his daughter’s body…and knows absolutely nothing about “windmills”….especially since a windmill is a wind powered machine that is used to mill grain…hence the word “windmill” and it is not a wind powered generator that is used to produce electricity. Second, almost every damn manufacturing process emits some gasses to the atmosphere…but in the lifecycle of wind generators, even with manufacturing factored in their pollution is less than .1% of a coal fired plant for the same amount of generation capacity…so it is painfully obvious that he hasn’t studied this or anything else. Then, moron boy went on to dredge up his old rant about “windmills” are going to kill all the birds but especially bald eagles, like they are bald eagle seeking robots that stride the land looking for eagles to mash with their blades….and yes, I will admit that there are birds killed by wind turbines, but the numbers are no more than against any other building that is built where birds fly…and to put the deaths in context, even it’s a million birds, cats kill billions of birds every year and no one is saying to kill all of the cats to protect the birds…or to tear down every city where birds fly. If anyone else had given this disjointed rant, they would have been referred to a psychiatrist to get them some help…but the repubs just keep on saying this level of stupidity\/delusion is just peachy with them…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
