Trump really is deranged...

When asked how Russia's invasion into Ukraine ends, the former President of the United States went into a riff on windmills and how they don't work??

Forgeard: "What do you see happening next then? 'Cause it seems like the tensions are high. How does this all end? Is this going to be like a long-term thing? How do you see it unfolding?

Trump: "Well, and I said this a long time ago, if this happens, we are playing right into their hands. Green energy. The windmills. They don't work. They're too expensive. They kill all the birds. They ruin your landscapes. And yet the environmentalists love the windmills. And I've been preaching this for years. The windmills. And I had them way down. But the windmills are the most expensive energy you can have. And they don't work. And by the way, they last a period of 10 years and by the time they start rusting and rotting all over the place, nobody ever takes them down. They just go on to the next piece of prairie or land and destroy that."

Yes. He is a stupid man in many ways, but apparently very persuasive.

This sort of babble is not new yet a large proportion of the IS population and beyond think him to be a clever man and a great leader.

Reality does not appear to make a dent in this. You posting this makes no difference. I am at a loss.

10000's of people dying in Ukraine, Trump's asked what's next..

All he can muster is Windfarms kill birds and become rusty wrecks..

What planet?

Maybe he thinks he is Don Quixote fighting against the windmills?

Sinility setting in?

If the MSM has been Trumps enemy. Plus the FBI and CIA. Why should he answer. Obama was poking the bear. Biden has now taken over the role now. Oh and his son Hunter. And quite a few more greedy democrats. And we know who is paying the price for the elites corruption, For poking the bear.

Is poking the bear a homosexual sex act..?

Trump is correct. Windpower is only 15/20 percent efficient, have a short life span, are not recyclable and the blades last at best 10 years. At the moment the blades are all going to landfill. The UK is green mad and frankly for the fart in the wind CO2 that we produce compared to Russia, USA, China and India, we should be focusing the cheapest energy possible, oil, gas and coal.

Because he was on Fox news, about which he chose to appear on being given a soft question.

He is the elite.

Republicans are less greedy than Democrats?

It doesn't matter if wind power is less efficient than gas if it costs less per Kw, which it now does typically. Significantly less than coal. Both without subsidy.

In fact, efficiency is 35% of rated capacity including wind variability, so your figures are way off.

You are also comparing a mature fossil fuel industry with a still growing wind turbine industry with huge annual gains.

Turbine blades are currently going to landfill, but recyclable composites are now being trialled and introduced. Blade life is now closer to 20 years than 10. Atmospheric pollution is significantly lower than that from fossil fuels.

The UK contributes 3% of global CO2, which is not insignificant, particularly as China is shifting rapidly to renewables despite its fossil fuel growth. That represents a huge market which the UK can exploit if it is developing technology ahead of the curve. Thinking long term, like China not short term.

We should be focusing as much on what comes next as what is happening now.

None of this has anything to do with the war in Ukraine, except that the main leverage that Russia has is in the supply of gas not the unrestricted supply of wind.

That's strange, when they were mounting the offshore turbines in North Wales, we were zipping around the pedestals and towers as they were putting the blades on with a big crane ship. Apart from being chased all over by security boats and visiting Rhyl regularly since.

Those blades are the same ones we saw go up in 2008. A good majority of our generation is wind when conditions are right. If it wasn't worth doing, then why so much investment?

It's in the mix, not a total solution. No, we should be focusing on reducing load at local level.

Standard from trump, he's just confused and misinformed, as per usual.

Energy independence is the goal, if we tie ourselves to imports like oil and gas forever, we just end up being someone’s bitch.

It’s funny that those who supported Brexit and wanted freedom don’t want freedom from reliance on others to meet our energy needs, total hypocrisy.
