Shitstain Took Time To Display His Ignorance On Renewables; "A Dangerous, Evil Clown" - Michael Mann
EDIT
Scientists responded angrily to President Donald Trumps anti-renewable energy claim that people would have to turn off their TV sets if there wasnt enough wind to power turbines. Addressing an audience at an Army tank factory in Lima, Ohio, on Wednesday afternoon, the president appeared to confuse windmills with wind turbines in his speech repeatedly. Taking on the persona of a man watching TV with his partner, Trump said, When the wind doesnt blow, just turn off the television darling, please. Theres no wind, please turn off the television quickly.
The president also joked solars wonderful too, but its not strong enough, and its very very expensive. He did not elaborate on what he meant by strong. Trump took a second swipe at wind power when he argued that building wind turbines near homes would affect property prices.
EDIT
Disgust was the word Michael Mann, a professor of atmospheric science at Pennsylvania State University, used when asked by Newsweek for his initial reaction to Trumps comments. Trump is a clown, but a dangerous, evil clown. He would happily mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren for the short-term profit of those, he told Newsweek.
Theres no evidence that being in sight of a windmill decreases property values, Mann said. But you know what does decrease property values? asked the professor. Unprecedented floods, wildfires and inundation by sea level rise and more ferocious tropical storms, all of which are exacerbated by human-caused climate change which, in turn, is caused by our reliance on fossil fuels.
