God he's stupid

So beyond stupid. So fucking beyond. There is not a word that holds enough power to remotely describe the piece of shit

I really doubt Trump even knows that Texas has wind farms and solar fields. (That are producing a lot of power)

😆

We have 6 solar fields around our small Minnesota community. Our farmers are diversifying whilst helping stop the ecological damage that they've been doing for decades. The tangerine tyrant toddler can stay the f*ck out of Minnesota. We'll sort our own shit out, thanks

Well duh, Trump and his billionaire buddies aren't in the clean energy business. And now they can use governmental authority to FORCE you to do business with them and only them

Texas (companies) have solar farms and windmills in other states, too.

Arizona has both as well. Let's see him try to outlaw it. He wants us all to suffer because of his miniscule ego and ginormous narcissistic personality disorder. What a yutz.

Of course he doesn't, he is beholden to the Oil and Gas companies and Solar and Wind eat into their CEO profits.

You know what else people don't like? Toxins in our atmosphere.

Trump using the royal "we" apparently.

I guess he only cares about his own hot air

The rest of the world is going to have an absolute boom in renewables. I’m sure the UK and EU will be happy to take the investment that would have gone to the US.

There are plenty of turbines and other equipment on order that we’re heading to the USA, now it’s on sale… My government looked at how the solar and wind is going here, and decided to run an extra round of licences as it said “we can do better than that”. It’s nice when grown ups are in charge

Wonder if it hurts to be that stupid?

Only other people unfortunately

His thinking is he won’t be around to experience that collapse of the environment.

Gotta get the price of gasoline up! Our rulers need greater profits!

I just can't with this doddering old fool.

What people??

What "people" is he talking about. People that say "I really don't like electricity, please stop". He is a complete moron.

Thankfully, he can't mess with state programmes, so it's mostly performative noise.

This is the kind of shit ppl say when they are friendless and desperate and listen to any asshole willing to rant at you.

Trump is going to be super disappointed when learns the difference between a wind turbine and a windmill. Pretty sure if there are any working windmills they're protected historical sites.

I’d like to point out that some northern states get large amounts of power from Canadian grids, which use wind, solar, AND hydroelectric. He’s going to tariff the hell out of Canada. Can you say ‘rolling blackouts’? Better fill your jerry can!

Remember Biden? That was nice, wasn’t it? Stable. Focused. Old, but not fucking insane.

Where are our elected officials ?!?!? Are they just bystanders?!?! He is a monster!

He has always been adamant about alternative energy. His dislikes for windmills increased when Scotland placed a windmill farm within eyesite of one of his golf courses. He sued, but it has been reported he lost the case.

Pay him and he’ll say the earth is flat, although in this case I think his ignorance matches his mercenary interests.

Seems that the US is a cursed country doomed to be the "evil axis" of 21th century.

😂😂😂🍊🤡🎪 has no favorites, Governor!

Right now, solar and wind are providing 67.6% of Texas' energy. From ERCOT's dashboard.

Sorry. 68.6%.

Certified batshit crazy

How does he even know what the people want? He is the most UNWANTED piece of something in existence, he should get rid of himself!💩💩💩

And their power grid will be in even worse shape. It can't keep up as it is.

More lies about solar-search solar panel manufacturing in the US. QCell and First Solar are producing panels and US jobs

That's the way to bring down the cost of living in the US.

Know what I like? My solar panels and my almost nonexistent utility bill (we pretty much just pay taxes).

Doesn’t his wife Elon own a solar company?

Let more freeze

You need to ask Trump, 'without them how will all the crypto mining be done'?.

He’s paying back his oily buddies

Not happening. But he will come for California’s.

Trump’s plan is to exacerbate climate change and abolish FEMA. That would be like eliminating funds for pandemic research and vaccines, and then prohibiting health agencies from sharing critical information on new and mutated viruses. Oh, wait.

This is actively anti future. He doesn't care, he won't life long enough to see any of it.

These people are nuts

Listening to trump makes it glaringly obvious that no matter where you went to school or how much your daddy paid for your education does not mean you’re smart.

What does fat Shitler have against wind farms?? Does he feel threatened that their hot air provides clean energy and his promotes diarrhea

I hope he chokes on a quarter pounder

Did you know that Burger King tried to launch a “third pounder” in the USA, but no one bought it because they thought it was smaller.

Oh God no! I want giant smokestacks belching toxic shit into atmosphere to eventually settle in my lungs and fields of produce.

Love you George but the last thing Republicans do is enforce rules, laws, orders and the like in a fair and equitable manner. Of course Texas will be allowed to do solar and wind. California however will have to fight for it.

Is there a word stronger than idiot?

President Shit 4 Brains speaks! He’s using his bigly words, watch out!

You know what else I don't like? Orange Shitweasels who have excrement for brains.

Are the ‘people’ he is referring to his oil industry donors by chance?

I’ll tell you, it might not even be them. Oil companies often own that land/lease the land and get huge breaks to be part of running those wind turbines. I don’t know who he is talking about honestly.

"People" is what he calls the voices in his head.

Oil billionaires & "Christian" nationalists Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks to name two.

Well you'd think that, but taking their Canadian crude isn't going to make them very happy either. So many contradictions.

Stop with the cute inanities and insults. He’s not stupid, he’s calculating and vindictive and he knows it will reap rewards. The more we heap derogatory cracks, on him, the more he loves it, and more importantly, his base sees him as a victim and themselves as his freakin army of crusaders...

…There will never be a time that their minds will change even as he pulls the rug out from under them time after time. Now go and shame your legislators into acting.

They might like seeing either of those options rather than bunches of rusty, noisy oil derricks

The world looks on with a mixture of horror, fascination and second-hand embarrassment…

People don't, huh? Which people? Oh right, you told them to hate windmills and solar fields. That's why.

Does 'Dont mess with Texas' apply?

No No! Texas is fine, it's just the blue states this will apply to

I...just can't. Goddamn him.

AND Trump wants to get rid of FEMA and let states take care of their own climate disasters. Lmfao Texas!

Dumbass doesn't realize that would allow Obama to run for a third term?

you all really need to watch this. retro prophecy? youtu.be/1EO9y4rGxvk

Someone I know who works building and maintaining windmills voted for this guy. 👍👍

Scumbag just wants to prop up all the polluting energy sources he can, in order to make a bigger profit, either through investments or payoffs.

Cant drill there for the non existent oil if all that's in the way. His mother was right he's dumb.

Doesn’t Tesla sell solar panels???

My head canon is that Trump hates windmills and the wind because it makes his hair look more like a bird nest every time he stands in it [the wind]. 😬

What's this we shit?

Well, those farmers were able to save their land because of those windmills. I guess Trump wants them COMPLETELY bankrupt.

I wonder if Elmo gave his stamp of approval on this message…?

Solar with battery storage currently is a rough LCOE match with natural gas, the lowest cost fossil fuel, but unlike natural gas it is on a steep cost decline trend & soon will outcompete all other sources of energy production.

It’s not like Texas has ever had any kind of energy crisis in the past or anything. What could possibly go wrong?

I word springs to mind - moron

Surely there are home-grown engineering companies that make this type of equipment for renewable energy.

Those helped save the day this past week. After lessons learned from Uri, ERCOT (the grid operator of TX) fixed a lot of issues.

“Windmills” That was UKIP language about 20 years ago. How pathetic.

Yeah I didn’t know turbines mill grain at the same time. Learn something every day.

That will be number 14 on the list. He knows what he's doing. www.openculture.com/2024/11/umbe...

Indeed. Thanks for the explanation. Spot on.

Or should I say merci beaucoup. (Je suis en train d’apprendre le français).

Bon courage pour votre apprentissage ! 😁

Merci beaucoup. Je trouve que c’est une langue difficile. Mes ancêtres anciens étaient français.

Oui c'est une langue compliquée avec beaucoup d'exceptions... Je suis content que ce soit ma langue maternelle, je n'ai pas à subir son apprentissage 😂

Tu/vous as/avez eu de la chance !

This list is truly an insane resource to spot everything they're doing right now. I use it often in France too because we're going down the same road at the moment.

Oh god I hope not 😬 There must be one sane place on Earth left, surely 🥺

Spain is actually doing pretty good at the moment I think 🤔 At least that's what I've heard recently. But yeah in France as of right now any slightly leftist point of view is qualified as extremist by our billionaire-owned media, and far right is basically acceptable now too. Fucking hell.

Merde! Je voulais déménager en France 😩

Espérons qu'on se retrouve pas avec l'extrême droite au pouvoir mais ça a quand même l'air mal parti... Mais peut-être suis-je trop pessimiste 😔

He's just a vindictive little excuse for a human, that is trying to undo everything reasonable and good simply because he wasn't smart enough to do those things.

This is exactly it, right here.

What an ass. How the fucc does he plan to power all his ugly, massive electricity and water consuming data centers?

Just can’t wait until they build new coal and gas powered electric generation plants in TX to fund their crypto mining facilities. Nothing better than grey skies over TX.

How is one human being so incredibly stupid?

No seriously, hey trump, make Texas turn them all off, go on, do it, see how that works out for ya.

How’s he feel about hydro? Gonna shut that down too?

Exactly, it is Texas, Oklahoma, and other red states where windmills are really taking off!

Exactly:

So, cripple the energy production, driving up prices, before infrastructure is in place to burn all this oil and gas they have not yet mined... True genius at work, he must take his cues from Elon...

OMG! 🤦🏻‍♀️ what is next…

"You know what else people don't like? Those massive solar fields". Um, Arizona would beg to differ, you stupid cunt. Seriously, this piece of shit needs to fuck right off a cliff, like yesterday. #TheBiggerTheyAreTheHarderTheyFall #donaldtrumpisacunt

I don't want a pedophile president but clearly.....

Talking to texans? Don't waste your time my friend. It has always been a fascist state waiting for its Dear Leader.

"We don't want," says the biggest blowhard in the room.

Aw, is trump still pissed at windmills since they ruined his view from his Scottish golf course?

I’m sure that all those folks who own the windmills in Iowa and Oklahoma and Texas will just pack them into storage boxes and put them in the attic. This man is too stupid to be allowed to live. And yes, I DO mean that.

If i’m not mistaken, Blackrock who owns ABSOLUTELY everything in this world, also owns the windmills in this country!

Never understood why Felon 47 has a such a hatred of renewable energy.

Because he was too dumb to get in on them early.

He’s claiming that companies have stashed coal away for a rainy day. “They are ready to burn coal. Clean coal that we have here” Clean coal? wtf?

Yeah, we heard about this “ clean coal” in the UK, wtf.

Please mock him mercilessly for this in your media. Please, I’m begging you. International media is our only hope. He needs to see the world is laughing AT him

Another thing that really got me angry…. Releasing the Jan 6 rioters who lets understand, we’re attacking your democracy, not one mention of Brian Sicknick who died protecting it. Rant over.

Yeah. Hoping that might actually get some conservative attention.

Believe me, every time he opens his mouth, it’s front page stuff/headline news on TV. News channels are in the main, more conservative than Fox. I have a great fondness for the US, I vacation there every year, central coast CA. Long time pals in Seattle. Trump is a dangerous individual, at the

the same time comical. With RFK in charge of health, you want to hope there is not another pandemic 😂

The PNW is one of my favorite parts of the country! But I dream of buying a vacation cottage in the UK. A second pandemic will sink our country. Trump sure as heck isn’t going to authorize any stimulus money for us citizens. It’s would be terrifying

Blooming landscapes

More coal plants! More greenhouse gasses!

Let's go nuclear!

Trump wants the states to handle their own problems. So why have a federal government? Problem solved... get rid of the federal government, get rid of the Presidency, get rid of Trump with one action.

Actually Texas wants to go nuclear…… let them. Let Texas do whatever Texas wants to do….. they brought this all on themselves. They voted for him. They gave up family over it, they defended all of his vileness…. In their pulpits. They deserve what they get. Karma.

I'm really tired of muttering and/or screaming "what the actual fuck" over and over and over again this week. What a ridiculous disgrace this regime is.

He’s making it easier for utility companies to charge you an arm and a leg so they can keep you hostage and reap the profits. Yeah, he’s a man of the people all right. 🙄

Oh, god. T2 is tilting at windmills again.

@cockremover.bsky.social content warning usa politics, sorry for the tag but i want you to know that he hates your dutch culture

my king <3

He's sooooo stupid. In this interview it appeared creeping dementia is upping it's pace, but it's hard to tell because he is sooooo stupid.

Yup. Have been saying that for a while. Bro's an RN, says the signs are clear as day. Soon his handlers won't be able to hide it any more, and even pulling puppet's strings won't produce the desired result. Then Couchfuck McGee will step in and he's equally manipulatable.

He’s such a tool.

At this rate we should just destroy all major oil and gas infrastructure so these death-cult losers don't have anything to shill.

Dear America 🇺🇸 After reviewing your offer for a free trial , I’m sorry but from what we’ve seen from the preview it’s just not something we are looking for right now Canada 🇨🇦

They're too busy getting high off cow farts to notice.

President Don Quixote apparently

Such a moron...

Don Trump of La Americancha

Trump and all the old ass politicians are holding us back from progress. We are a really underdeveloped country compared to most others

To be clear, they did actually issue an EO halting at least federal permitting and leasing for wind projects. Kind of sounds like he doesn’t know what was in that order or he forgot they’ve already issued it.

He’s like an avatar for every stupid, racist, misogynist, and reactionary thought in this country at any given moment. It’s quite an achievement.

I mean MAGA wants to deify him, right? Fine. He's the god of Stupidity, Ignorance and Lies. Oh and the demigod of terrible looking hair. Next.

🙌🏻

And the demon of bad orange makeup

Let him be crucified to earn his deification like the other gods...

Possibly the deacon of bad spray tans?

Ha! For sure, with language in the contract to allow for promotion.

You had me at stupid. Trumps' Moon-sized imbecility explains all the rest of his flaws. He's just pure dumb. I doubt he's ever opened a book.

He's like Captain Planet for the uneducated.

A huge achievement! He’s the biggest all around dick I’ve encountered in a 6 decade long parade of dicks

He is a symptom, not the cause. Kind of a cancerous tumor caused by a much deeper, widespread illness.

West Texas has hundreds of miles of wind farms, and the folks who own that land are mostly Trump voters.

What the f is wrong with Republicans that they hate these things? (and never mind Dump's insane hatred and ignorance of and lies about windmills of all things, as if he gives a crap about a landscape in the first place. Must be cause they're a reminder he doesn't know how anything works?)

Personal vendetta. Scotland won the court case, he sued for them putting up windmills outside his golf course there. It's really nothing deeper or more intellectual than that. He's selfish, shallow, and narrow minded.

They threaten the fossil fuel profits.

Obviously, but his personal rationale is insane.

trump doesn't have rationale, just whatever pops into his head when he speaks comes out of his mouth.

It’s what dementia looks like

,Call out his evil insanity every minute of every day. -

He is obsessed with windmills #DonaldQuixote He hates the windmills OR the wind😾 God only understands

he didnt like seeing them from his golf course in scotland scotland told him to fuck off cue childish tantrum, and petty vindictiveness on a global scale

“Human pile of feces with no reasoning capability dares to imitate a human by promising good change. Fails miserably. Instead, shows itself to be lower than life, possibly a lump of coal.“

Crazy

Ummmm yes we do.

He is delusional

WTAF?!? TRump is a clear and present danger to our nation.😡

By "people" he means the oil Barron's who paid tribute.

Average American dipshit Trump voter…”My electricity bill is going up like crazy? I don’t understand? Fucking Biden!”

Now they just do what they want with their bills, just like every other corporation is doing by raising prices. Just like grocery stores are doing by raising the price of food even though we have an abundance of food that goes to waste all the time.

Funny thing is it isn't the wind farms or renewable energy that is causing the electric bills to go up. It is the Electric companies themselves who are greedy. During Covid they decided that they could charge whatever they wanted and still to today. Before they had oversight and were reigned in...

Yeah this would be my impression of how a Trump voter would respond after Cheeto Jesus eliminates wind and solar power from our grids.

Everyone who voted for Trump and is being affected negatively has a freaking Pikachu surprise face now. Like they chose to ignore that he said he was going to do this stuff. They ignored everything and still voted for him. They still ignore it and well they reap what they sow as the saying goes.

Shitty thing is that we’re all going to reap what they sowed.

8 years later, and, "It's gotta be the damn Biden economy! President Trump's policies just haven't kicked in yet!"

Yeah, take them away. They already have the power grid they deserve.

Effin Moron

American businesses:

Round three of Obama?

Don(ald) Quichot

Insert teleprompter near miss joke here

Fortunately we he doesn’t ban wind turbines.

What the hell ever happen to small government?

I just looked at ERCOT. Texas is getting 58% of its' electrical power from solar and wind sources at this moment in time. Seems like quite a lot to just shut of because somebody 'doesn't like it.'

Ever watch a western? They are full of wind mills

The local governments and school districts in west Texas generally love the windmills because they pay hefty property taxes on what is otherwise agricultural land. That new high school football stadium? Thank you windmills!

Doesn't surprise me a bit. The huge energy companies can't control the Sun or the wind, therefore they want to stop people from being able to access it.

I, for one, want more windmills and solar panels. So Trump can shove it.

I don’t know what’s worse, his stupidity or his racism

Trump is totally coo-coo for "Cocoa Puffs", so if you didn't think this moron unhinged, what's your excuse now? 😂🤣😂

OMG!

I mean who wants lower long term prices for electricity. Sigh.

Not a prob, since Texas can rely on the national gri— —what’s that?

ERCOT rn. TX having a great solar & wind day.

Which is why the fossil fuel industry is so against renewables. Great for the environment & consumers. Not so great for O & G.

He's wrong about absolutely fucking everything If there's something he really shouldn't do, that's what he does, something absolutely dumb, with no positive effect , just negative, got no reason at all, except it's themost stupid thing to do . .. and why ?

He's not dumb, he's seeking how to have his friends make more money

No, he IS dumb. He is being guided by his backers But his IS dumb

Yeah, this is one of the hardest parts. It's not just a few things, it's EVERY. SINGLE. THING. It's like his team sits back and says, "What's the worst possible action we could take here?"

And then all his goons back it up .. He'll say "the earth is flat" All sane people say "how absolutely stupid, that's the end of him, nobody can think anything else but he's dumb" And then 50m people will then scream the world is flat . The news will say it's flat We just sit open mouthed

wapo " trump suggests the world might not be completely round" "experts divided"

It's a question that needs to be asked The previous govt was covering it up..

I have hard-core MAGA relatives and associates here. You are correct. It's bizarre to watch.

They all think biden should be arrested What do they say he's done ? I can't work it out

Every MAGA i spoke with this week believes the Jan6 goons convicted of assault were still behind bars. I don't understand where they got that from. I sent them them the White House EO link. It's short. Still won't, blaming Pelosi?

They probably are. Tramp doesn't usually do what he says he will

Some of them met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, so I think they're out.

You and I are living the same experience.

They think he’s smart because he blames x minority for all their problems and then says he’ll get rid of x group, I think. they think that he’s getting this GENIUS solution done when others don’t, so he must be smart and right!

And the saddest part is that x group has nothing to do with their actual problems. The rich billionaires screwing everyone over are the real issue. So they'll still have problems and then it becomes "maybe y group is really the problem!"

People forgot there how we used to be (still am) anti institution and anti authoritarian. Because those who voted for him fell hook, line and sinker for the billionaires and institutions. I'm older, maybe young people think differently. Or Americans do.

I think a lot of the trump fans are older people is the thing. He does have younger fans too, but i think the conservatism appeals to those who want “how it was when they were younger” socially back. I’m in the UK and we have a lot of anti-immigrant anti-LGBTQ middle aged folks too.

Yep, but to blame your fellow man is the easy solution, and so he encourages them to, because that also takes away their ire from the rich. It serves to remove those who don’t follow him, to keep the rich blameless, and it makes his followers think he’s a genius problem-solver.

You get rid of Eric, Barron, and Jr. first.

Wtf is it with this guy and windmills? Is he Don Quixote or something? Or just hate clean energy?

Total f'n tool.

when they take them down, maga will think it's a great idea- even those from Texas- because they can't think.

dumb as they come.

Just insane

Freedom is being told what kind of energy you're able to use purely based on what he thinks people like rather than what is safe and effective.

HOW OBVIOUS IS IT that he's made a deal with the devils' that are the Fossil Fuel industry?? Which, BTW is profiteering, corruption, abuse of authority, and violations against campaign laws!!

Attacking windmills was silly in 1605 and it's silly now.

Wonder where he has his money.. not in wind and solar.

Bummer I know some die hards that brag about making lots of money installing those things. #fafo

I think they should also force Target and Walmart to remove the solar panels on the roofs.... use coal instead... burn baby burn. (Sarcasm)

You know what i'm amazed by with wind energy? Every fucking farm in Europe and in USA had a(drum roll.........) FUCKING WINDMILL! Yep! A motherfucking windmill that harvested the wind to turn gears(science) to make life and work easier(crop processing) to make food for us. HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO!

Just when I thought he couldn’t really be that STUPID 😡

The guy is a MORON. A MORON. He doesn't even realize what he is actually saying.

I-10 in Florida has tons of solar meadows on each side.

hilarious and Canada jumped the gun and issued a weather tariffs to Florida and Texas...

The only "windmill" that I know of is in Williamburg and it doesn't even move. Explain the difference to the turd about windmills and wind turbines. He is so Stupid.

Trump still butt hurt cause Scotland told him to get stuffed when he tried to get the wind farm shut down offshore his failing golf club there?.. eheheh

Billions in investment that power companies love because its renewable and takes little manpower

Everything he does is for big corporations.

🇺🇸 260,000 Americans working in wind and solar ☀️ 💨 Let’s kill these clean sissy jobs and send them on the oil rigs 🛢️⛽️

Not Diet Coke?

That’s not what plants crave

Brawndo gots what plants crave!

Can you change it to saltwater?

It's got electrolytes!

It won't be long we got gd rfk to contend with. Won't be long before secretary of agriculture Comanche jones takes his chair

I guess the silver lining is that if I have a bad day, I can make a trip to Costco and someone will tell me that they love me.

Just stay away from Starbucks, their coffee went downhill

Which decade? I think my mom was criticizing it for being overroasted in the 90s

Yeah, but in the future, you can get a full service latte

Jesus…what an idiot.

At least it’s not bleach.

That's sheer genius.

Gatorade has what plants crave.

Yeah, those giant solar fields should be oil fields duh

I hate to tell you this but Texas Republicans want an end to wind and solar unless they can pay nothing or as little as possible for the energy generated. In my city, the electric utility cut in half the amount they pay for electricity generated by solar panels.

31% of Texas power is from renewable energy. Hope you guys love brownouts and blackouts.

They make money, I thought he loved money? Oh, wait, lobbying behind the scenes from coal, oil and gas barons, they're upset that they're losing money as people move on with modern technology while they prefer to keep the world stuck in the 1800s...

They are also all over the Dakotas and Montana. Also, we have them in Alaska. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I still can’t get over how he can’t manage to change his vocabulary from “windmills” to wind turbines.

When Trump says "people don't like" he means he doesn't like.

More likely he is just parroting dislike from his oil oligarch buddies. And he might be mad at the sun for making him look stupid when he stared at the eclipse without protective lens.

He has been mad at wind turbines ever since they built offshore wind turbines in Scotland near his golf course which he objected to because he didn't like the view they created, the UK courts ignored his objections and allowed the turbines and he has been sulking about it ever since.

Funny cos Elon likes it. He promoted an Aussie city cos it's like 90% solar. The government gave discounts if you switched to it. Great pairing 🙄

The gasbag Trumpenburg doesn’t like wind farms? Who knew?

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😤

People that don't want clean cheap green energy are... Well.... Are..... Just.................. (We literally have times that our energy is literally free because of green energy over production.... FREE!!!!!) Idiots

Despite the pro-fossil-fuels rhetoric in Texas politics, 35% of the electricity in Texas comes from renewable sources. Renewable energy has been the sole source of energy growth on the Texas power grid over the last 10 years and is less expensive than fossil fuels. See graphs below.

Are these windmills in the room with us now, Mr President?

(Nobody show this to the thuggish Texas governor):
