here's a refresher- about solar and wind. Has nothing to do with Trumps views. Until we come up with true and real alternatives-we're stuck with the same toxins and pollutions if not more. The so called Green energy alternatives are not green.

When are we going to get real alternatives?

Big Wind's Dirty Little Secret: Toxic Lakes and Radioactive ...

Big Wind's Dependence on China's "Toxic Lakes". According to the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences, a 2 megawatt (MW) wind turbine contains about 800 pounds of neodymium and 130 pounds of dysprosium. The MIT study cited above estimates that a 2 MW wind turbine contains about 752 pounds of rare earth minerals.

Wind Turbine Blades: A Toxic Legacy For Centuries to Come - So Much for Saving the Planet. The dust emitted in the grinding process of FRP creates occupational health and safety risks for workers. Inhalation, as well as skin and eye contact can produce moderate irritation to mucous membranes, skin, eyes, and coughing.

Wind turbines, apart from the fibreglass blades, are made mostly of steel, with concrete bases. They need about 200 times as much material per unit of capacity as a modern combined cycle gas turbine.

https://www.technocracy.news/solar-energy-produces-300-times-toxic-waste-nuclear-power/
Solar Energy Produces 300 Times More Toxic Waste Than Does Nuclear Power. Nuclear power is "green" from the environmentalist standpoint as it produces next to no emissions. It's also reliable and inexpensive. Plus, the technology already is already commercially viable, and scalable. For example, 5% of the world runs on nuclear energy, and France ran on nuclear power for decades with no issues.
((I disagree with this one- the clean up of nuclear waste is hellacious))

These rotor blades use carbon fibers and glass, and give off toxic gases and dust — which means burning them is not an option. Additionally, the concrete bases used to uphold wind turbines can go as far as 30 meters deep into the ground, making them very difficult to fully remove.

Fast-growing wind power market waits out toxic proposal. The U.S. wind power market is on the verge of spectacular success or failure, depending on whether a Republican House proposal that targets the industry succeeds or fails. The House passed a tax-reform bill Nov. 16 that retroactively would cut federal production tax credits for wind power,...
How Wind Energy Works | Union of Concerned Scientists
https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-energy/renewable-energy/how-wind-energy-works
Wind power produces no toxic emissions and none of the heat-trapping emissions that contribute to global warming. This, and the fact that wind power is one of the most abundant and increasingly cost-competitive energy resources, makes it a viable alternative to the fossil fuels that harm our health and threaten the environment.
(( I disagree with this-- it does produce much toxins))

Special Investigation: Toxic wind turbines | Wind Energy News

Special Investigation: Toxic wind turbines. But wind power is becoming increasingly unpopular, with giant turbines now scattered across much of the Scottish countryside. There are now 219 operational wind farms in Scotland, with at least 2,400 turbines between them. Moray has the most sites, with 20 in operation,...

www.city-data.com/forum/green-living/3004753-futility-wind-power.html
If any indication, we had 5 commercial wind turbines about 30 yrs ago, that sold for scrap 15 yrs ago. Now we have over 800 wind turbines regionally (US Gov incentives for the foreign countries / businesses that own the turbines). I was on a coalition to encourage 'community ownership' so revenues would help schools and rural communities.

and the list goes on.

So assuming you are a independently living off grid and not connected to
any polluting power sources.

Can you come and give a presentation and a workshop on how you do it at
my friend Jay's Blue Rock Station, and give him some tips on where he's
going wrong.

Why are you assuming I am off the grid? I already mentioned I am not and that I am not trying to enforce taxes upon Poor countries in order to feed the greed of the so called science based mandates of global warming fraudsters; tech giants, so called greenies with so called alternative methods of saving the planet, etc. Do you have a problem with understanding plain English?

Looks like we are humbled in your presence Saint Pamela de Vert -
Greenpeace (and my mate Jay) has it all wrong and are among the
fraudsters and unworthy Greta should all sit at your feet to learn all that you
know...
