Biden Mocks Something Trump Said In 2019
Posted On 11 Feb 2022
President Biden on Wednesday mocked former President Trump for claiming that the noise emitted from wind turbines causes cancer.
At a White House meeting with representatives from major utility companies to promote his roughly $550 billion in spending to combat climate change, Mr. Biden threw shade at his predecessor.
While the utility CEOs were talking about spending on wind energy, Mr. Biden asked about the response in their community.
“Are you still getting resistance when you start talking about wind and windmills? I know they cause cancer. Bad joke,” Mr. Biden quipped.
The leaders laughed heartily at his joke before moving on.
“If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer,” Mr. Trump said in remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual spring dinner of 2019.

Wow wow wow.he’s really OUT OF IT.
Biden of all people has no room to mock anyone considering his failure as president! He has single handedly put us at the mercy of other countries for energy needs, caused massive inflation,completely in the dark about the true nature of the Covid-19, his policies have destroyed lives, the Afghanistan debacle caused the loss of our brave soldiers,he has pit citizen against citizen with his ridiculous mandates, he has caused racism to escalate by not doing anything about the destruction of our cities last year! He is about to get us in a war withRussia! Shall I continue? We the people are not in the dark when it comes to his failures so please, don’t throw stones as you are living in a glass house Mr. Biden!
👍🏻👍🏻
“BULL. POWER LINE WILL CAUSE Cancer
If that is true then please put 3 windmills outside Biden’s home in Delaware.
If this is true the please put several of them outside Biden’s home in Delaware.
A good article on home prices and health effects, and comparisons with fossil fuel energy production, with clickable links in the paragraphs:

Need lots in Washington then. Help destroy the feces in congress and the swamp.

Windmills do cause several health problems, including headaches, irritability, depression. They are also the #1 killer of raptors.
One thing that no one mentions, is the lifetime cost, which includes the cost of aquiring the property and the windmill; installing the windmill and infrastructure; maintaining it throughout it’s useful lifespan; tearing it down and disposing it after end of life. The last lifetime cost estimate was from 2009, and it was $0.35/KWh, which is over 3X most people’s electric bill rate. Now I ask you, can YOU afford to pay 3-4X what you’re paying now for electricity?
Trump didn’t say it was the noise, he said it was the electromagnetic field created by the turbine.
Jim. Isnt that what the authors of the article should have stated? Yet true to biased journalism they let it pass.
Just over 1 year as POTUS… Biden’s 17 GREATEST Achievements so far: 1.__ 2.__ 3.__ 4.__ 5.__ 6.__ 7.__ 8.__ 9.__ 10.__ 11.__ 12.__ 13.__ 14.__ 15.__ 16.__ 17.__.
In Biden’s mind, everything that pops up, will change in five minutes. How much more embarrassment are we to endure, with this total lack of adult leadership? After 50 years of his total lack of accomplishments, what exactly can we expect?

Right now the average wind farm is about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as lubricant and we’re not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude… 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year.
It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York… That’s 304,000 gallons of refined oil for just one city.
Now you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from “clean” energy.
Where do you think all that oil is going to come from, the fricken oil fairies?
Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms run on petroleum. As well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal.
And just exactly how eco-friendly is wind energy anyway?
Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres, so a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres; In order to power a city the size of NYC you’d need 57,000 acres; and who knows the astronomical amount of land you would need to power the entire US. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier & turbulence that interferes with the 20mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to work properly (also keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds). Boy, cutting down all those trees is gonna piss off a lot of green-loving tree-huggers
Let’s talk about disposal now.
The lifespan of a modern, top quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years.
After that, then what? What happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades?
They cannot economically be reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled so guess what..? It’s off to special landfills they go.
And guess what else..? They’re already running out of these special landfill spaces for the blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Seriously! Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long and there are 3 per turbine. And that’s with only 7% of the nation currently being supplied with wind energy. Just imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid… 20 years from now you’d have all those unusable blades with no place to put them… Then 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, and so on.
Golly gee, how green is that?
Oops, I almost forgot about the 500,000 birds that are killed each year from wind turbine blade collisions; most of which are endangered hawks, falcons, owls, geese, ducks, and eagles.
Apparently smaller birds are more agile and able to dart and dodge out of the way of the spinning blades, whereas the larger soaring birds aren’t so lucky.
I’m sure the wildlife conservationist folks are just ecstatic about that.
I’m so glad the wind energy people are looking out for the world.
