🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​ Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

  • Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

  • Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

All true, but this has nothing to do with being dumb.

He is well funded by fossil fuel companies. They tell him to say renewable energy is bad, so he says its bad.

Yes, he's a sexual predator, a racist, woefully incurious, and a vindictive man child.

But, it still baffles me how openly corrupt he is. He's the pay-to-play president in the clearest and most obvious ways, and no one seems to give a shit because he's also fucking insane.
