    On the topic of wind farms I find it funny that there are so many GOP in Texas that are against it, when ironically, Texas actually has the largest wind farm installation in the country and most is owned by the same energy companies that produce the oil. They’re diversifying their portfolio of products as they should but the lay person just has to have their coal rollers.

    I actually saw someone with their truck idling in a parking lot with a license plate that said “CO2GOOD” on a Texas oil field background. Stupid people.

    Did the courts order it or did the people losing cheaply produced energy demand it?

    Imagine that the weird hang-ups of one fucking loser has so much impact on an entire nation, not to mention the world.

    With the mad rush to build out more and more data centers for AI…just where to people think all that power is going to come from?

    Even if you are a complete dumbass that wants to cling to coal mining for stupid reasons, even then, you should want a both-and situation so that prices of energy don’t skyrocket…and I’m directing this at his supporters. Pedonald himself has been buttmad about wind power since forever and it has no rational basis, of course, so he’s a lost cause:
