Scientist exposes anti-wind groups as oil-funded, now they want to silence him

The sudden US pivot towards actively suppressing wind energy is absolutely wild.

There are farms that are nearing completion and now are just in limbo.

It isn't sudden, it was always there. 15 years ago I drove from iowa to minnesota. In iowa there were wind turbines eveywhere, in mn billboards saying wind is not the answer. Today iowa des moines is 100% wind powered (i can only find press releases stating that, official numbers for the whole state are around 50%)

I recently had a dumb argument with actually a bunch of folks on Nextdoor who claimed unironically that coal power plants were more eco friendly than wind and solar farms.

I ran the numbers like a good nerd. It is mind-bogglingly inane how wrong that idea is. I also learned new things about how ridiculously polluting coal plants are.

These bad ideas come from somewhere (presumably cable news). Or they were bots.
