Trump calls wind turbines "losers". Meanwhile in Denmark, our wind turbines currently produce 92 percent of all the power consumed.
But you do you, America. 🤷🏻♂️

@randahl T has most his money, his actual assets in real estate. And most of that is sea side. Once people believe there’s no chance to stop climate change, no chance to stop sea level rise, the value of his assets will drop to zero. It won’t happen once the water hits the stairs of the lobby but when people stop to believe the narrative. “Green energy” and wind in particular reminds people of something is at odds with this world and so he must fight it with whatever he can.
@randahl Don’t listen to him. He’s not well.
Renewable energy means an autonomous sovereign nation.
No bending the knee to fossil fuel funded fascists.
@randahl We can't do us. We have asshats in charge of approving the permits.
@randahl der blæser også en stiv pelikan (spændt på hvad folk der bruger oversættere får ud af den sætning).
Meanwhile, right now, New Zealand is running on 99% renewable electricity.

@randahl
Randahl, when
“Trump calls wind turbines "losers"” he’s projecting - HE is the ‘BIGGEST loser (also - to be rude which I don’t usually do because I am a lady - a BIGLY gaslighting GASBAG). 💨
I don’t know why they [the people of the US] don’t fire him. 🤔
Meanwhile, other people, who live on this planet, adults, winners, Danes & Australians & others, get on and do the right things… as you say: “in Denmark, our wind turbines currently produce 92 percent of all the power consumed.” Yay! Good for you Denmark! Thanks for showing the way. 🙏🏻🙂

@randahl we're all sharing the same planet, anyone looking to destroy it for a healthy profit should be answering to everyone, not just their own citizens. Nobody should have enough money to be able to launch shit into space. If so, they better have a reason that benefits us all, or they need to go.
Do you honestly think any significant percentage of the people on Mastodon agree with what Trump says?
Trump is a dummy.
Honest question. In Denmark, are your houses heated with electricity or gaz?
I live in Quebec and most of our houses are heated with electricity, so when we hear 92% from wind turbines, it blows our minds because the largest part of our electricity usage goes to heating and it is a lot.
If your houses are heated with electricity and your produce 92% of it with wind turbines, well, I'm impressed.
@MichelPatrice 69 percent of Danish homes are heated by district heating plants. These plants primarily burn biomass like wood pellets which is CO2 neutral. The heat is distributed through large diameter well insulated pipes.
But the Danish building code requires very well insulated homes: Typically 200 millimeter Rockwool in air tight brick walls, and 300 millimeter Rockwool in the roofs.
Many homes have a backup heating source like a wood stove or a heat pump in the livingroom.
You might need to check your sources. Maybe there is an issue with the year of that data or what power consumption it refers to:

The US' percent of power generated isn't as good but we do have a lot more than I thought we did:

@HikerGeek my source was the Danish electrical grid live stats found here:
@randahl Anything Trump calls a "loser" is just something he and his owners don't control.
