But don’t windmills kill birds and cause cancer and make the view from my golf course unsightly? Thanks, Obama
- Don't forget they annoy whales and make people stop eating bacon.
  
  I heard they cause 5G
  
  OMG halal windmills where can I get them?
  
  At some point, there will be a serious effort to put offshore wind on Lake Michigan. I fully expect to see idiots on Xhitter saying it's going to kill all the whales.
- Maybe we can get Trump to suggest we use the windmills to kill the birds and feed the birds to the Haitians to stop them stealing pets.
I'd like to see more pumped water reservoirs making use of the strip mining pits. Most of the damage and work is already done, might as well make the most of it.
- You would still need to build another reservoir at the upper elevation, and would need enough vertical distance between the upper and lower reservoir.
Billions for Israel.

Millions for climate.
- As we all know, this specific announcement is the only investment in clean energy the administration has made, and this definitely isn't the usual bad-faith fascist take you trot out
- Priorities
- Yeah, let's just let the Earth get hotter and hotter because Gaza.
  
  Everyone dying will sure teach us a lesson, won't it?
  
  This won't stop the Earth from getting hotter! It's barely a drop in the bucket.
  
  Meanwhile, the billions spent on war will directly result in massive carbon emissions from jet fuel, tank fuel, bombs, and the energy spent building all that equipment and shipping it halfway across the world.
  
  Israel is an ongoing climate disaster.
- And still digging up fossil fuels. So misguided
How much of that is actually green and how much "green" nuclear energie?
- All of the companies selected to receive grants are listed in the article. None of them are nuclear.
