But wind, I think we just should say this was a failed experiment.

We're going to stop subsidizing this.

And if people want to have a wind turbine, great.

But we're not going to build miles and miles of wind turbines anymore, at least not with taxpayer subsidy.

It's totally bananas.

And again, it's we focus on the carbon footprint thing.

And we don't talk about the fact that there are these massive environmental hazards that goes back to the distracted politics versus the real stuff.

And we should be talking about the real environmental consequences of wind power.

Well, and you deal with it technologically, right?

This is the thing that the solution to global warming for however long this warming trend lasts is to deal with it technologically, right?

I mean, if you look at the number of people who die from disasters in the United States, it's going down because we've gotten better at predicting stuff and helping people deal with things.

And of course, you still have terrible things like Hurricane Helene, but they are luckily part of a downward trend and people losing their lives from terrible storms.

And if you really think – like if you really think that carbon – this is another reason why I'm somewhat skeptical of like the carbon obsessives is if you think that carbon is the most significant thing, the sole focus of American civilization should be to reduce the carbon footprint of the world …

then you would be investing in nuclear in a big way.

And then when you say that, the environmentalists say, well, you've got all these poison rocks to deal with afterwards.

Well, the poison rocks problem is a less significant problem than the carbon problem if you think that we're all going to go extinct in 100 years.

So let's deal with the most pressing problem.

They're all like, no, no, no, no, no.

And their solution is to buy solar panels that are disproportionately made in China, which has the worst carbon footprint and growing of any country in the entire world.

They obviously don't believe their own bullshit, which is why I'm somewhat skeptical of what they say.
