what really cements them as abjectly evil in my mind is that they could just, you know, buy a wind turbine manufacturer, but noooooooooo instead they’ll fight to kill wind turbines because that’s 5% more profitable
we’re not even demanding that they stop making profit, just that they make slightly less profit so as to not poison the entire planet for fuck’s sake
We’re not even demanding that they make less profitm I’m sure theres loads of profit in a diverse clean energy portfolio. I’m sure a lot of people would buy their own renewables for their home. You could sell tones of shit here. They just dont want to change. They have grown fat with greed in their thrones. Their apathy knows no bounds.
Trump’s battle against “windmills” began back in 2006 after he had purchased seaside land for a golf course and subsequently learned that a wind farm was being planned offshore. This annoyed him because it would disturb the view and possibly eat into profits. His attempts to prevent the construction of the wind farm turned into a feud with the Scottish government, and in Trump’s mind, converted the wind turbines into giants that needed to be attacked.
“You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody.”
That’s it. Old man hates windmills. Nothing else to it.
Some guesses, in declining order of probability. :)
Vanity and spite. After all, he’s not emotionally mature.
With some probability, rational attention-seeking to keep his supporters entertained and lobbyists (who bought and propagandized his way to power) satisfied. He has to deliver them goods. This is how he shows that he intends to deliver the goods… that he actually cannot deliver without changing the constitutional order very much. You can mark my words: lots of wind parks will be opened under the Trump administration, despite anything he does.
Maybe he wants to test the mettle of the terrible Renewable Industries Complex - an industry very prone to organizing coups and hiring assassins. If I were him, I’d consider twice, all the people in the solar business that I know have been extremely menacing. ;P
Why tho
A billion-dollar bribe — wind turbines directly compete with fossil gas as an electricity source.
About fucking had it with these dragons holding us back.

But what about their hoardings??!
Hey, I only hoard garbage in my depression nest #notalldragons
They are very flamable
dragons are based and hot. this fuck is not.
there’s also that time he whined and cried all the way to uk supreme court to try to stop a windfarm. losing once… twice… “three times a loser”.
This simple:
That’s it. Old man hates windmills. Nothing else to it.
We have them on many places here in Europe, and sometimes they are a very nice sight when traveling.
They fit really well into a green landscape, but not so much in a concrete jungle.
And thought just continues to show his utter lack of taste because wind turbines are beautiful. I love driving by wind farms.

They cause cancer, haven’t you heard?
The gas sure does.
