Nero.
- Nero was at least able to play the violin. He wasn’t pouring gasoline over the fire.
  
  Trump is an expert at fiddling young girls though...
  
  Kinda sure the violin wasn't invented yet
I just want an opportunity to piss on this evil loser’s grave someday.
- It will definitely be a very popular gender neutral bathroom.

Further putting us behind the rest of the world. 🤦
The fake reason he gives for this suicidal policy is aesthetics, right? So he prefers the sight of a coal fired power plant to wind turbines? Or should I just give up trying to understand?
- I think the latest is that solar and wind "steal" farmland. Basically, the claim is that your grocery bill is going up not because of tariffs, but because solar farms are robbing the country of places to grow your food.
  
  But water is the limiting factor, not acreage. Those Saudi horses deserve the finest alfalfa hay we can provide them, even if some of you starve.
- I have always been baffled by the aesthetics argument. There is anther city I sometimes visit and the best part of the drive is this stretch of highway that goes on for several miles where you are flanked by windmills. There are hundreds in total and to me they are borderline awe inspiring. Absolutely gorgeous.
- Really? I thought it was just that wind and solar is so woke.
Someone needs to start building coal power plants near his properties.
This doesn't really surprise me from Trump. Why would he care about global warming? If some coal and oil people stroke his ego a bit of course he will sacrifice global climate for them.
It does surprise me that there's any support for this amongst his base though.
Here in Australia our conservative party was slaughtered at the last election. There were a number of reasons but a key reason is their poor position on climate change. Now with their party decimated they're trying to re-brand and bounce back. Their big idea? Discard carbon emission goals. Fuck trying to make everything more efficient, who would want that right?
- The fossil fuels industry did a bit more than stoke his ego — they also paid a billion-dollar bribe
