Trump temporarily halts leasing and permitting for wind energy projects

[NNadir]

4. Adolf Hitler was responsible for the development of what became the most...

...fuel efficient major car in the 1950's and 1960s, the Volkswagen Beetle. Hitler directed Ferdinand Porsche to design that "people's car." He dedicated Volkswagen's first plant in 1937.

One can look it up.

None of this makes Hitler a good guy.

Sometimes the wrong people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

The wind industry is neither cheap, nor "green" nor sustainable. It is entirely dependent on access to fossil fuels. The expenditure of trillions of dollars on it and the accompanying destruction and industrialization of precious wilderness has done nothing to address extreme global heating. In fact the rate of global heating is accelerating. Even the third derivative is positive.

The material requirements of the wind industry are odious, the embodied energy unacceptable, the reliability atrocious, and the infrastructure ridiculously short lived.

While, like any decent human being, I hold Trump in contempt, it has nothing to do with this action.

The real motive between the hyped inaccurate public perception of wind energy has nothing to do with opposition to fossil fuels. The claim is an add on and an inaccurate and dishonest one to boot. The real goal of wind hype was to attack the only scalable sustainable form of energy that is devoid of climate impact, nuclear energy.
