[@Neojhun]

@@Brandon_letsgo LOL Nat Gas can't even keep up to volatile Demand. The Electric Companies are only trying to work with it because it's cheap byproduct for the Oil Fracking Industry. But Gas Turbines especially the bigger one take DOZENs of minutes to fire up. By the time that happens the Demand has massively changed. The future of Demand Based Electric Generation is Energy STORAGE at GWH scale + Renewables like WIND. You are soo brainwashed you don't even understand how all this technically works.

As someone from Iowa I can wholeheartedly say most of these farmers get their windmills because they get paid for them by energy company. Also a word of advice, if you're not from here don't act like you know what's going on.

[@Brandon_letsgo]

The problem is that wind and solar are extremely expensive. That’s why the only way they get built is by huuuuge subsidies.

[@Noi5ee]

yeah because the fossil fuel industry gets no subsidies at all

[@cm770011]

did that old guy say 30yrs ago we were running out of fossil fuels? ...what is his time frame for fixing this? have we run out yet...?

[@longforgotten4823]

[@redswift31]

Politics has nothing to do with people putting up windmills. I'm from Iowa and I know for a fact that farmers only put them up because people pay farmers to have them.

[@Psillytripper]

so the farmers get extra income and the people of iowa get cleaner and cheaper energy....hm

[@redswift31]

Psillytripper Pretty much, no one here cares either way.

[@whykhr]

No in fact wind has caused more expensive energy, and only exists due to massive subsidies.

Getting power from wind turbines is too fucking expensive. Solar power, nuclear, and hydrogen are all much more cost effective than giant metal poles that require an absolute ton of maintenance.

[@joshwillis1726]

Right now industrial solar is more expensive than industrial wind in most places (MOST). Hydrogen is an energy storage medium, not a producer. Nuclear is pretty good in my opinion, but is more risky to invest in nuclear right now than solar or wind.

So, what has Pres. Trump done against the wind power industry? It is not wind power or coal power, raise all alternative energy and the available traditional sources. Improve the clean coal power generation but do not make it a perpetual habit of having taxpayer money subsidies to wind and solar power. The alternative industry can be beneficial to the people if they will not burden the economy and it will continue to advance and be economically and environmentally desirable.

[@STE4LYOURFACE]

Give me a spray tan over this bullshit any day of the week

[@SWOBIZ]

Wind and solar generation disrupts the grid's stability because their output fluctuates erratically with weather conditions. Thus, every wind and solar installation must be propped up by reliable nuclear and fossil fuel plants which compensate for the dangerous and unpredictable fluctuations of wind/solar output. Otherwise, they would cause life-threatening black/brown outs and voltage spikes throughout the day.

More on the wind & solar jobs fable. Solar electricity employed 373,807 people in the USA 2016 vs 320,837 persons in the REAL Electricity generation suppliers = NG, Coal, Oil, Nuclear & conventional Hydro. Solar supplies 0.7% of US electricity and the REAL sources supply 92% of US electricity. So Solar requires 373/320 X 92/0.7 = 153X more labor per unit delivered energy than the REAL sources. A zero understanding of economics is evident here. These solar & wind cheerleaders have decided that low productivity is a measure of economic success. Why not just pass a law that all heavy equipment be banned, and all digging must be done by pick and shovel? Why use computers, pass a law requiring all calculations be done by hand - the old fashioned way? Why farm with big equipment - harvesting machine, tilling machines - do it all manually, like in the good old days, lots of jobs. People are just so gullible and stupid.

[@MrGert150]

How are you going to get all that energy to people in buttfuck nowhere ya idiot, who wants a nuclear plant near them, theires no rivers near them , ng has to be constantly transported, its a solution for people who live great distances from each other

[@jamesfiaco4922]

Wind turbines water turbines geothermal title search energy solar panels my favorite hemp oil bio fossil fuel. Couple examples why hemp is my favorite. 1 acre of hemp can produce enough bio fossil fuel to fuel 10,000 vehicles for a year at about a dollar a gallon. Equally as amazing if not more this type of fuel only releases the same amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air per mile, as a person does when they exhale!. Versus coal crude oil and gas which release tens of millions of years worth of petrified death un oxygenated air per mile' keep in mind hemp makes over 26,000 different things. It has been proven to be 10 times stronger 30% lighter than steel" stronger and lighter than concrete stronger and lighter than brick far easier to work with on-site much more abundant versatile making the design possibility practically limitless. As a added bonus by using hemp for everything we can. We will be improving upon in maintaining the quality of our air water foods landscapes working living environment every day home products. a reason I'll explain 1 acre of hemp produces 3 to 4 times the amount of oxygen as a acre of tree's, at the same time' it's sucks in 3 to 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air as a acre of tree's. As if that wasn't exciting rewarding beneficial enough. Hemp rejuvenates replenishes the soil after every harvest, back to (Garden of paradise type quality) even if the landscape has been previously stripped robbed depleted of all its value from overharvesting things such as cotton and corn. It has the same nutritional value as rice, corn, wheat, barley, milk combine" think about how long mankind has been surviving on that type of nutrition which requires way to much time and energy resources manpower to produce. Now hemp on the other hand has even been successfully grown and radiated soil. In layman's terms bears your clean high paying jobs from coast-to-coast globally. Which will improve upon people's health in such a way medical coverage will not be an issue for people will finally be really in touch with their own bodies capabilities and limitations being able to adjust adapt respond recover to virtually all the illnesses that are plaguing today's people. We have a hunger problem in this country world. 1 pound of hemp will give a family of four. more nutritional value between two and four weeks than what the majority of the population has ever had.

Wind energy is energy negative. It consumes too much energy to build a wind generator than what energy it can produce over a 30 year period. The same thing can be said of solar power. For every kilowatt hour produced by wind energy or solar energy, it took an average 30-35 to 100-115 kilowatt hours to produce each kilowatt hour of energy generated by wind energy and solar energy. Has anyone seen wind energy and solar energy providing all the energy needs of a vertically integrated iron and steel production industrial facility on a 24/7 basis?

At the same time polluting corrupting devastating to mother Earth and all the various different forms of life that live within this world. He has this plan for he believes if the mass majority of the population globally is at their worst he will look is best"and feel less afraid inferior to the true potential of love honor and the creation of life. He is physically mentally submissive subservient may be genetic hereditary or generic learned behavior. I would bet that he is worst-case of those two different scenarios. So if you support somebody here in life who is physically mentally submissive subservient. It is most likely that your soul and spirit along with his. Is spiritually sexually suppressed internally and externally for all eternity throughout existence case closed mercy forgiveness spiritual welfare are not changing those facts. If life is not free why the hell would death be any cheaper. Meaning your souls and spirits are paying out to the end results of dirty low-paying jobs. Meaning your souls and spirits are picking up the tab on a diminished quality of life. Meaning your souls and spirits are being implemented with all the disease sickness, illness, pain, suffering, torment, misery, abuse, neglect, hunger" that has been allowed to occur manifesting throughout the history of mankind into what it is today thanks to people like Donald Trump.

In fact providing electricity through renewable energy like wind and solar is waaay cleaner and cheaper. And the cost is constantly dropping. The only reason why the U.S is so far behind European and many other countries is that lobbyists from the fossil fuels industries are paying huge amounts of money to local lawmakers and members of the federal government.
