No sun, no wind....?. what are they thinking - nuking the entire planet to avoid wind and solar? Thats like saying what good is oil (gas) if you dont have keys to the car. 🤦🤦🤦🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Also water turbines and gravity batteries.

He doesn’t seem to understand that when he charges his phone the BATTERY stores energy. The same thing goes for windmills and solar panels.

They’re morons. But they’re communicating their moron shit to a moronic viewership who sit in front of the tv letting morons inform their moronic world view.

Dunning Kruger.

The sun has powered my home electric,car and water since March ..No bills just credit for excess energy produced.

I did that 4 years ago, using the money saved on electric bills was able to pay off the system last year so now my electric cost is $29/month.

Wait, whát?! He's asking US to stop OUR windmills? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fucking idiot.

Nobody heard about magnets and he knows that if they get wet, they won’t work

The level of stupid is astounding.

It’s interesting that more and more homes are sporting solar panels on their roofs, more and more windmill farms are being built. Before long geothermal will be everywhere. Trump, MAGA, silly CONservatives, O&G can bury their heads in the sand for as long as they want - they won’t stop this progress

Why do they continue to give this dimwit a platform?

Solar dies not require wind they all so damn stupid it’s revolting

I'm just sitting here hoping every country encircles his properties with wind turbines. And not let him benefit from the cheaper electricity.

Seize his properties and make him go before the Hague for the crimes against humanity the US is currently inflicting on POC.

These guys are really stupid???

Windmills create energy that is stored

Even is they truly don't believe in batteries for whatever weird religious reasons, wind and solar could at least provide 50% of power even in their little distorted reality .... not that I think we have to pretend their weird ass beliefs are valid , but I guess they do have the power so here we are

What a bunch of bullshit! Are Fox viewers really bad stupid?

Yes they are, & that's why we have a Pedophile President

Too bad we can't harness the energy created from stupidity.

Everybody who supports TACO is a moron. I have never seen any intelligent people support that POS.

dumb asses gonna be dumb asses...

Total embarrassment and the dumbest MF except for those who voted for him.

Remember there was a majority of people that didn’t vote at all!

The Trump Brings Ignorance to Europe Tour…promoted by the incompetent folks at Fox News network

Idiot!

Staggering Dumbassery

Also pumped storage, but that's probably way, way too technical for the Orange Dildo.

There really aren’t many batteries to store at grid capacity built yet. We have the technology, not the political will. All the ideas are large-scale civil engineering projects. TVA Hoover Dam Transcontinental Railroad size. We don’t need new tech, we need funding and expedited permitting.

To be clear: This is in no way a reason not to build green production capacity. It’s immediately beneficial at any use level. Every watt matters. This is just reminding you that this is a circular argument. The lack of green stops the funding for batteries, the lack of batteries the green.

What is it with him and tilting at windmills.

What complete idiots!🙄

Windmills...

Windmills...

Apparently the interviewer has also never heard of batteries, as he let that idiotic claim go uncorrected.

I have a dual battery backup for the solar panels on my roof. i can go at least 2 days with full on rain before i have to pull from the grid

have you heard about barage pump ?

Batteries are too woke I guess.

Gravity batteries work perfectly

the level of lying is just obscene. if it weren't for decades of corruption between big oil & big auto all cars would be solar powered by now if there's no sun & no wind there would be no life on earth

Ironically, west Texas, where voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump, is full of wind turbines. Wind turbines for miles and miles and miles…

He does know about batteries but he thinks you have to fight sharks for them. At least I think that was part of his stupid story about boats and sharks.

Dumb ass Chucklefucks

They are using wind and solar to produce hydrogen and that’s a good way to store energy.

Idiots!

We live in the stupidest timeline!!

Why are they so stupid?

Norway pretty much the coldest and darkest countries does just fine.

The lack of critical thinking and they are socially and intellectually lazy.

No one takes a pedophile criminal seriously. He is an imbicile

Duh

Duh

He's so infatuated with windmills. Toilets, sinks, showers, water... Is this some sort of fetish he has!?

I think he's just really fucking stupid.

Dig your timeline photo. 1812 FTW baby!

Yup! They don't teach that war in American schools.

Oh no they don't! LOL! No they don't. They're WINNERS!

He truly does represent the USA... 😂🤦‍♂️

Well. When his diaper is full he needs a lot of water to clean it off

😂

He has a very simple mind, he thinks he know what he is babbling about because nobody in the Press will ever confront him on his simple mindedness.

He is funded by oil and nuclear oligarchs.

They're all funded by some corporation/s. Many of them bipartisan. 🤦

Yes, but Trump is extremely good at staying on message.

Yup, he's been consistent in his chaos.

Now he thinks he’s Don Quixote tilting at windmills. We are so screwed!

Fox doing a great job misinforming their viewers...🤦‍♀️

Can the ignorance get any deeper, wider? More gross?

They're still in the shallow end of the stupid-pool. The first drownings are a few months away.

They’re not even embarrassed repeating this idiocy? 🤦‍♀️

Just wait till he learns about magnets.....

Between Trump, MAGA and Fox America looks like its peopled with morons.

And the ones that aren't morons are all standing around waiting for someone else to do something about the morons.

Apart from batteries of course. Invented in 1800, 154 years before the solar cell. Windmills for pumping water and milling have been around since c12th Century. Wind turbines have been used for energy production since 1887. These people truly live in the dark ages, and sell toxic lies that kill.

Most of America would also prefer the President not be pedophile into the bargain as well!

The definition of insanity is believing that this sexual predator did not know what that other sexual predator was doing.

"Stop the Windmills!” refers to the ceaseless, spiraling, and sometimes chaotic nature of thoughts & memories within Trump’s own mind. 😎

Plus in the U.S. the wind is almost always blowing in WY, MT, CO, ND, SD and Iowa, put up 1.5 Million Wind Turbines there, Rebuild the Grid to Handle all the Electricity. Put 1 Million Acres of Salt Tower Solar Farms in Nevada where the sun Shines almost all the time. #RenewableEnergy

He's bat-shit crazy, folks.

Probably not. Remember they are the ones dismantling the Dept. of Education.

What?! There are so many types of batteries. Electrical chemical batteries are what most people think of when they hear batteries but there are also thermal and potential energy batteries as well. Our ideal energy system would be powered by nuclear, solar, wind, and other renewables.

Thiessen is painfully ignorant. Batteries, like lithium-ion, saltwater, or lead acid, are one of the best ways to store wind and solar power. Yes, batteries! Simple, but I guess too difficult for Trump and Thiessen to comprehend.

They only remember what the oil companies pay them to remember.

Don’t listen to idiot.

In Phoenix, we have two reservoirs for power. At night, we use free electricity from California windmills to pump the water back up for another day of power.

Same thing has been going on in Los Angeles. Upper and lower Castaic reservoirs have been doing this for decades. Hydro is also polluting, but almost a one time impact. It makes a good battery, but has its downsides too.

Pretty much. And most of the damage from hydro can be mitigated. And if the time comes, returning hydro to a natural state when it is no longer needed is fairly easy. Nothing has zero impact so any talk of it is pure distraction.

I remember the conversation I had when it was hammered home that all that cool, fun to play/fish/boat in water destroyed a bunch of habitat that was already full of life, and that it is itself pollution. But to me it is often a more acceptable pollution. I wondered if anyone is looking at the real+

impacts of harvesting gigawatts of energy from wind that had been moving with that energy “forever” before. It was doing things… We are stupid animals.

People can bitch about anything. The short of it is pulling sequestered carbon out of the ground and putting it into the air has more consequences, they're just delayed. I thought the earth could mitigate, but it can't.

Also, the earth can absolutely mitigate it. We all die off and the earth goes right on.

Exactly.

People can ignore anything! The short of it is there are no silver bullets and jumping on a train is fun, but it usually ends up better if you question where the train is heading.

There's never no sun and no wind. They can't possibly be dumbfu@ks of this magnitude.

Batteries and windmills aren't in the latest version of the Bible.

TFG is the most ignorant moranus on the face of the whole damn planet! And a dairy embarrassment to those of us with a functioning brain!

So DUMB! So embarrassing!

#Dumbfuckistan

Drill baby drill; class actions will emerge to make em pay the destruction of human habitat. *Giant water de-salinisation to bring water back on dry lands Same time producing Hydrogen for non polluting energy Timing is now to build these watering life saving solutions Oceans waves produce energy too

no wind and no sun - meaning its a windless night and energy consumption craters. This is the reason we have water and thermic power as well as backup powerplants for the rare occasions where its required. Why would we want to be dependant on hostile powers for our basic energy needs?

Are they ALL stupid? Seems like it. Makes you wonder how they manage to get dressed in the morning.

There are many ways you can make yourself look stupid and that's one of them.

Fox "News" still diligently maintaining its reputation as a predictable, reliable bastion of misinformation, disinformation, and pure bullshit. I bet I could write a very large and thorough book about thought-terminating clichés, just using examples from any random month's worth of Fox programming.

Bumper-sticker intellects don't bother with actual thinking -- but nonetheless are blithely confident in the depth and the insightful clarity of their thoughts.

Most of our "Christian" people are early educated (inculcated) what to thing, not how to think, even before they hit public school. Many of these end up being the ~1/2 of US adults reading a comprehend at or below a 6th grade level. They remain as credulous as most 11 to 12 year old's as adults.

It’s tough when leadership in public office are uneducated and ignorant. It’s either that or they’re bought and paid for.

I'm pretty sure Melania has. 😉

bsky.app/profile/coug...

Bigotry is behind one of those.

Windmills vs. coal. It’s a no-brainer.

Alberta oilsands

Yeah, I think they put wind turbines where it is windy, but I don't know.

I live not far from one of the largest wind farms in North America. Its rare to drive by and not see at least most of them spinning.

He was a speechwriter for George W. Bush. Right-wing stupidity in America. The idiot on Fox encourages this stupidity. Fox broadcasts this stupidity to millions and meanwhile Fox refuses to leave the city it continually shits on. All vile scum Republicans.

I bet their wives have!🤣🤣🤣😉

Car batteries only work when it’s running, water only comes out of the faucet when it’s raining, and the moon is only there when you can see it.

wow

Offshore oil rigs good. Offshore wind turbines bad.

Remember the environmental disaster last year when the offshore wind turbine spilled wind all over the Golf of Mexico?

Still waiting for BP to stop dumping Corexit into the Gulf of Mexico

Surely you mean the Gulf of Trumpistan.

Well that's not a dam fact.

And the little mocking laugh at the beginning, to point out how obvious it is that there is no way to store energy, and how what he's just about to say is so superior.

What's the point? Imbeciles.

Sure they heard of them but they want to kill that industry: Five posts on this thread: bsky.app/profile/670r...

We both know magnets don't work when they're wet. 😁

None of them have a brain.

Fox “News” continues to be a celebration of stupidity

Yep BATTERIES. Dumb as dirt

I guess there's #Libtards in all parts of Ontario ‼️ 🤨

Fox is the enemy of the people!

It's the smile and the laugh that get me. It's the, "of course I don't rape young boys, I'm a priest" condescending "Christian" laugh.

Fucking morons.... Don't have a fucking clue! Batteries have not yet been invented I guess, OR Green Hydrogen Electrolysis.... Hmmmm! No wonder those fuckwads thing the fat orange pig is a godthing.

Don’t confuse our Dear Leader with fact, please. Just kneel and don’t make eye contact.

To say nothing of power grids that are so large they cross the whole continent; it's always blowing somewhere across the grid.

I literally have the technology to store solar energy on my house. He's 100% wrong. And of course that's not how it works. Wind & solar energy contribute to the overall energy provision. This ridiculous notion that the lights go out if its not sunny/windy shows the complete ignorance of these people

'If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.' Makes sense to a lot of people who would know better if only they'd paid any attention in school...

OMG … how can his constituents vote for him???? A 12 year old would understand more (I apologize to all 12 year olds) Oh ya… RELEASE THE EPSTEIN TAPES!

Oh my …

We do not need to be completely reliant on wind and sun dip shit. It is about our responsibility to our environment

www.tesla.com/megapack Massive Energy Storage is already here... Not endorsing Elonazi, but pointing out Massive Energy Storage is already a thing.

LMAO...ahem. LMAO Ok PedofiOld man. Whatever you imagine. 😂

🤣

These guys are so full of shit!

They are idiots really

They are liars and they know it

Thanks Captain Obvious! We really appreciate high school drop outs figuring the future of power generation with your profound insights. Who would have ever thought that solar doesn't work at night? Just an amazing observation right there. lolz, you owned those libs. 👍

USA needs to spend more on public education.

The USA needs a media who isn't afraid to call the current POTUS the world's biggest moron.

These are some really ignorant SOBs, but they are talking to the MAGA base... I not used to that on MSM I don't watch Fox or CNN who capitulated also. For me voice carries emotion in which I prefer written narrative. That eliminates podcast influence. With STEM background I avoid distractions biggly

Also windmills are made to mill something, usually grain. Wind turbines on the other hand are used to create electricity.

I knew someone that designed windmills, and he called them windmills the meaning of mill.. 4: a machine that manufactures by the continuous repetition of some simple action ...such as manufacturing electricity from the turning of blade www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/m...

OK Sure. Sounds like limited usage wrt to all the other entries. Also in 4a I’m not seeing “such as manufacturing electricity from the turning of (a) blade”. Check out “turbine” for clarification. It’s quite precise wrt to generating, not manufacturing, electricity.

A turbine is a device that turns the linear flow of a fluid into a rotary motion. I agree with you that the shaft of a turbine is usually connected to a generator to produce electricity But the turbine blades in a jet engine do not produce electricity

🤦🏻‍♂️ people actually chose these idiots to run their country.

God, can't take these ridiculous luddites any more. I've traveled by car all over this country and love seeing those energy producing (without damaging the environment) wind power towers. IT IS A GOOD THING unless,of course, you're heavy invested in fossil fuels.Clean energy is a gift to our future.

You are a very stupid person.

I’m on the technical side of things, if we have the tech to store energy from oil/coal/NG why can’t we use that tech? He’s a fucking nit wit.

Many different kinds of batteries, gravity, heat, electrical….
