Trump lies about wind energy

 

Speaking in Pennsylvania a few weeks before the 2024 election, Donald Trump repeated the standard gospel—wind, he said, “is the most expensive form of energy there is. You cannot get more expensive.” It won’t surprise you to learn he is wrong, indeed upside down.

In the first Trump presidency the Washington Post counted his lies which came to over 30,000. I don’t know if the WP is counting in the second presidential term but if so, it must be over 50,000.


Many of the thousands of lies are very harmful to the well being of Americans and people around the world. As we are discussing the development of renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal, the Republican support for fossil fuels and disparaging of renewable energy resources seems all the more egregious in the face of the climate damage and economic costs of fossil fuel usage.


What circle of hell will Trump and his supporters descend to when their bodies die? Where will their souls go?
