Trump Criticizes Wind Power in Iowa

Trump has a longstanding grudge against wind power, stretching back to before his days in politics. As a developer, he fought plans to install a wind farm off the coast of one of his golf courses in Aberdeen, Scotland, which he argued would destroy the aesthetic value of his property. In 2012, he sent a letter to the then-head of the Scottish government where he called wind turbines “monsters” and described the wind farm project as “insanity.”

And Iowa GOP leaders were quick to disassocitate themselves from Trump's remarks.

You'd think a major windbag would be in favor of wind power.

He's afraid he'll lose his monopoly.

If Trump is Don Quixote, who is his Sancho Panza?

He's got something in common with Ted Kennedy, then.

Trump Criticizes Wind Power in Iowa

That's bad. Having an unpopular opinion or policy is one thing, but what a complete moron.

I really can't believe how stupid he is. I've talked about this with friends and family but not so much here (I voted for the moron). I still want some good to come out of this but it looks unlikely. The guys at the local pub probably have more well thought out opinions and ideas than Trump, and that's bad.

Let's hope we can come up with some actual candidates next time around (ya right).

But gawdamn he is stoopid.

When it's not lying in an attempt to get the tiniest advantage, it's just straight-up dumb.

Wait a sec... first he dislikes them when they want to put some up near his property. Then, during the 2016 election he praised them, even suggesting they deserve government subsidies. Now, he's against them.

Its like his opinion varies based on the way the wind is blowing.

Is there any politician who's opinion changes so much and so fast?

No. But he's not a politician. He's a con man.

What gets to me is what does he gain by this?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He whole vendetta against Renewable Energy makes no sense anyway. If you want to promote more self suffiency in power for America, you encourage development on all fronts. But for some wiered reason Donnie hates renewable resources. If you want to encourage more use of coal..provided it does not created a bigger pollution problem,fine. But that is no reason to knock everything else.

Actually, I think he more resemble's Sancho's mount.

His flip flops make more racket than a women's dormitory.

Except that he also wants "his" idea of Solar Panels on the Mexican Wall, which is, the last time I looked, renewable energy. I am not sure that using Solar Panels on a 3000+K wall is going to do a lot for the coal industry.

They're both terrible drivers?

They both don't want wind farms that might interfere with their ocean views.

I also hear they both grab women by the ... anyways, not my point.

No idea about Trump's driving ability, but I don't think he killed anybody yet.

Trump Criticizes Wind Power in Iowa

Trump’s ideas on energy are not only stupid they are in fact just corrupt. Trump isn't going to bring back coal jobs. He might make his millionaire friends in the coal industry more money but nothing else.

But Trump's problem with wind may have more to do with a battle with an offshore wind development he fought and lost in Scotland. He saw them as an eyesore to his golf course and of course employed his scorched earth tactics which made him a hated man in the old country.
