We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline
Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”
He posted this without irony.
For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.
We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.
At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.
Trump has the internet. He chose this.
@jpullin4@BryanTweed16 Ever been to Duffy Love Shack on St Thomas USVI? This is their business model. 5 pm professional strip mall closes, Duffys open in the parking lot until 2 am. Pretty sure they have a permit, but beats overhead of owning a bar!
@UCBearcat92@SaraEisen@AnnaEconomist I’ve enjoyed my Tesla stock returns. Dude is so far ahead in thinking of the rest of the world, but keep hating him because he hung out with Trump.
This is why ag cannot win. We all know the oil companies got the amendments added, but we want to fight each other instead of being united against the common enemy who seeks to destroy us both by pitting us against each other. Kinda like real politics huh, welcome to DC.
I’m typically a proud member of the American Soybean Association
However, if this is the official stance, I cannot in good conscience support an organization that does not support the expansion of renewable energy simply because it comes from another crop.
And I love soybeans!
@FreeT3hBird@BasedMikeLee Except that choice is never made. It is distilled for ethanol then fed to cows. It’s dual purpose use with the same bushel. It’s a free country to be ignorant of the facts too.
