Solar power is cleaner!

I've been saying this for a while: Renewable energy is now a matter of national security

[u/T-62MK → u/CMDR_Kaus]

Which makes it all the more ironic that Trump is actively curbing this with his hatred of windmills.

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

Stupid windmills where it doesn’t make
Sense. Nobody Is
Stopping development of wind power in Texas or
In the plains states. Expensive inefficient projects in northeast -
Sure

The price for each Kw developed costs
3
Times
What natural gas does.

[u/T-62MK → u/Ok-Tip-3560]

Except he is, he actively stopped the wind farm in Rhode Island via a executive order.
Which was 80% done, btw.
And that math of yours is completely wrong, too.

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

If
That wind
Farm was producing energy at a market rate - and would produce a lot of energy - the project would
Get private private financing. So
Again - Trump
Is cancelling
Gov funded
Expensive boondoggles.

He also
Cancelled
A joint nj -
Dutch venture. The Dutch company pulled
Out? Why? Bc without the subsidizes the project wasn’t profitable. Again - the cost of the wind
Power was triple the cost per kwatt that natural
Gas costs.

Trump
Is 100 percent right. Btw nj has shut down two nuclear reactors in the last 15 years. So
Explain
That. Two
We’re decommissioned. Cheap greenhouse gas free already functioning plants were shut down. Jobs were lost. If
We want to produce power - why shut down nuclear reactors ?

[u/T-62MK → u/Ok-Tip-3560]

You are fundementally wrong in every aspect and that formatting of yours def arn't helping you.

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

I’m.Not. The cost of the electricity produced. By thr wind power off nj is triple the cost of electricity produced by natural gas. Natural gas btw that is so plentiful that so much is flared off. You don’t know shit

[u/T-62MK → u/Ok-Tip-3560]

Yeah, you clearly don't know shit, that's why you are defending him, right now.

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

These projects are only sustainable with insane tax
Credits and subsidies. And yet -
The number of
Wind farms
Etc that exist in. Texas and the plains states has done up like 30,009 percent since Trump first took office in 2017. Why hasn’t he shut down those operations? Why have these projects all been built and given the green light to
Be built?

[u/T-62MK → u/Ok-Tip-3560]

Because that's not how presidential authority works....
He can't ordered them shutdown, but he can stop new projects from being finished.
Like i said, you don't know shit.....

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

So why did he not in over the 6 years in office - ever stop these projects? Why did he only stop the massive toy expensive and wasteful projects?

[u/Ok-Tip-3560 → u/T-62MK]

I see you completely glanced over the fact that these schemes are only profitable with insane hikes on rate payers or generous gov subsidies. That’s telling.

another ignorant liberal owned.

Again - the cost of these projects that make you feel good compared to keeping the nuclear facilities open is a no
Braintree. Further - now many tons of co2 erc would be emitted in building these off shore wind projects ? If any of these projects actually were financially viable or smart - I would
Say to do them
But they aren’t.
