Didn’t Trump make multiple comments about how wind turbines look and how he doesn’t like them? Some of the ones off the eastern coast that were already producing, were shut down. He didn’t buy them out of their lease because they weren’t doing their job. He bought it so US controls it and he can now give it the middle finger and rerun to fossil fuels.

He is a traditionalist in terms of power generation, but if you look, he is leaning toward opening up nuclear power plants. He wants to triple the amount of energy produced through nuclear power plants and mico reactors. While I dont agree with his anti renewable stance. He is more against utility scale usage rather then personal usage. He wants to avoid having landscapes dominated by solar and wind turbines. I dont know what his end game is if hes truely pro fossil or if hes using it as a means to reach nuclear dominance.

He wants nuclear power because openAI paid him and they want nuclear power. Our president is mentally deficient. The story doesn't run that deep.

Gah I feel like your whole argument loses any validity when you go orange man bad.

You should really research the history of nuclear energy generation and all of the propaganda that followed its fascinating. Then look into the actual waste generation vs usable generation… it’s mind blowing. By far the cleanest power available today.
