fElon tRump had a little incoherent rant about windmills, what did you expect? I am quite certain he no more understands wind energy than he apparently does anything else. But the problem is that in a very general sense, with all possible generosity, he was not wrong. Wind-power is, and will be, a delusional fantasy that has been the cornerstone of NO PROGRESS on depreciating fossil fuel for THIRTY-TWO YEARS. Picking on windmills is low hanging fruit that has been planted right there by, potentially, well meaning Greenish dreamers. And people who do not want Reich-wing christian evangelical extremism should not have left it hanging for the Orange Turd to point at and declare that we can’t have an energy transition.
But we could have an energy transition. It is the thing both tRump and Robert Habeck are obstructing. We could depreciate much of our fossil fuel dependence if we were committed to building an economical source of large amounts of electricity with a minimal footprint. And that revolution would be a nuclear energy transition.
It is genuinely the case that civilization may not survive, in any very recognizable form in another century, unless moderate, sensible people seize that golden apple and call it their own.
Warning: If three goddesses approach you, DO NOT give any one of them your golden apple.
