🖕🏼that rapist and every pedophile protector in his Republican Party. May they sink away like the decomposed rot that they are.

Missouri also led the US in gigabit internet for years - but because those were municipal not commercial systems, the GOP trifecta effectively banned those, too.

Missouri and Kansas, together, have the wind and solar capacity to provide power for *all* the world's data centers. The whole kit & caboodle. And still having extra to sell to Chicago and Texas and take care of ourselves. But instead, we're doing... this.

Wild how they dismiss that land-owning farmers charge rent to host these wind farms. Nobody is building a turbine w/o permission and payment.

Well gosh...I'll bet that means all their whales are dead, huh🤪

*Rock Port 😑

Fossil Fuels have a tight grip on their people.......when will enough people stand up to this stuff? Let's just destroy the fucking planet as long as oil and gas men are making a shit ton of money!!

IKR? I was thinking ‘Rockport, Texas is 100%wind? The Texas Gulf thrives on oil!’

Texas has ample wind power. Currently 26% of it's electricity is from wind power. Sometimes they fuck up their power distribution system, because they are "against socialism". Then Ted Cunt has to go on holiday.

“… … but, but … what happens when the wind doesn’t blow?!” 🙄

Haha, yes. Capacitors (battery storage from when it did blow). Wind and solar work well together. When there's no wind, the sun is often shining. Trump is setting us back decades. The rest of the world forges ahead and some communities run entirely off wind and solar. We need to diversify.

Also of note: bsky.app/profile/hele...

Meanwhile, China is rapidly ramping up solar & wind power installations, as is virtually every other nation. These decisions are not just bad for the environment, they are also bad for people and the economy! heatmap.news/climate/trum...

Remind me how Republicans stand for freedom.

That's an awesome story! American ingenuity! It can be done. It should be the template for the rest of the country but the asshat in DC and his cabal of pedophile supporters can't grasp the fact that they are behind the times.

You're so lucky! No sarcasm ... I *really* mean that!!

Local - the way to go.

How Trump's loathing for wind turbines started with a Scottish court battle. He was objecting to 11 turbines that were planned - and ultimately constructed - alongside his Aberdeenshire golf course. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Missouri is so out of sync with the policies they support and the people they elect. I think if we could get past the demonization of political parties we would agree on most of the issues.

Every time we vote for something good Jeff City overturns it. Like St Louis City minimum wage, abortion rights codified into the state constitution and paid sick leave for hourly workers. ALL approved by the voters. ALL overturned by the GOP.

Please look into Respect MO Voters. They are trying to get protections for citizen initiatives on the ballot. They will start collecting signatures on Sept 10th to get the issue on the ballot. They need volunteers.

I'll check it out.

I love this

The data center proposed near St Louis wanted to store a million gallons of diesel fuel on site. You have to wonder how often the nasty diesel generators will run.

Both wind and solar farms are proven technologies that improve with research. Plus, I work near both, and they don't drive me crazy!

Is that why Hawley and Bailey have been working to stop a transmission line? subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum should be ashamed and embarrassed…but we know that republicans have no shame! That community should be a guide for the rest f the nation on how t do this t!

“ and that’s why we need to put an oil drilling rig there” Republicans would say

Shouldn't this be a state right? GOP sure micromanages a lot 4 claiming to want small govt.

To them, small government just means one guy in charge. One rich, old, white guy. Even better if he has a side gig that diametrically opposed to your good ideas.

Like Russian doofus?

If the shoe fits

Bringing us back to the stone age one hateful proclamation at a time...

We have one of the largest wind turbine transportation centers here in red western Kansas. I can guarantee that 99% of the turbine techs, yard workers, semi drivers and pilot car drivers voted Trump. Why people keep voting against their highest priority - income, I’ll never understand. 🙄😒

99% r white men?

What good is Big Energy when the grid turns to shit? We're at the point we need to be self-sufficient, because this is the libertarian shithole for which they have long yearned.

Do u mean Individually self sufficient as in home generators?

Yes, a power station and a backup inverter generator to charge the power station only when there is no sun.

Is anyone creating that market yet?

There are several companies in this space. Lots of YouTube videos! youtu.be/SQu3tns6KpI?...

Thanks!

Windmills are the root of all evil..psalm 8647.

I wish nothing but suffering for every single person who voted for this orange sack of filth. He is doing absolutely nothing to make anyones (who isnt rich, white, and kisses his ass) life better.

Good morning Jess.

Clean sustainable energy? Don't be ridiculous! Pump that oil - mine that coal. This planet won't last forever. The least we can do is help the rich get richer as the planet withers away. 😏

Please, build them around The Clown's golf courses, as Scotland did.
