#FactCheck #TrumpLies#Trump expressed his disdain for #WindPower during a meeting with his Cabinet recently, calling it an expensive form of #energy that “smart” countriesdon’t use.His comments contained false & misleading information about the use of wind power in the #UnitedStates & around the world, & came on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder he signed Monday that would end subsidies around “#green” energy.#FossilFuels #disinformation #Climate #ClimateChange https://apnews.com/article/wind-turbines-power-electricity-energy-trump-5eb370dfb407b86a11d420917e4acaba

#TrumpLies, “Wind is a very expensive form of energy.” Facts: Onshore #wind is one of the cheapest sources of #electricity generation, with new #WindFarms expected to produce electricity around $30 per megawatt hour. This compares to a new #NaturalGas plant, around $65 per megawatt hour, or a new advanced #nuclear reactor, which runs over $80, acc/to estimates from the #Energy Information Administration [#EIA].#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #Climate #ClimateChange

#Facts: Onshore #WindFarms cost less to build & operate than #NaturalGas plants on average in most regions of the #US, even without tax credits. Though natural gas plants are available to produce #electricity at any time of the day, unlike #wind. Offshore wind is among the sources of new #power generation that will cost the most to build & operate, at $88 per megawatt hour, according to the #EIA.#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

While #electricity rates have risen nationwide over the past decade, states that have added a significant amount of onshore #WindPower, such as Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma & New Mexico, have kept rates from rising as fast as other states, said Brendan Pierpont, director of electricity modeling at the nonpartisan think tank #Energy Innovation.#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

For example, the share of #electricity generated from #wind in Iowa increased from 15% in 2010 to nearly 60% of the state’s electricity generation in 2023, while the state’s electricity rates grew at a rate slower than that of 42 other states, Pierpont’s research found.#WindPower can be expensive if it’s built where winds are weaker, but the #US is adding it in places with strong wind resources, he added. #Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #ClimateChange

“#Wind should be seen as part of an overall portfolio of #electricity system resources& is an important part of keeping costs down,” Pierpont said.#Trump has committed to increasing #US #energy production, particularly #FossilFuels. He signed an #ExecutiveOrder Monday aimed at phasing out #TaxCredits for wind & #solar facilities.#disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

#TrumpLies: #Wind turbines are “almost exclusively” made in #China, but President Xi told Trump they have “very, very few.”FACTS: China is the world’s largest manufacturer of wind turbines, producing >½ of the supply. It is also installing them in China at a record pace. In total, China has 1.3 terawatts of utility-scale wind & #solar capacity in development, which could generate more #electricity than neighboring Japan consumed in all of 2023, per a report from the Global #Energy Monitor.

@Nonilex Even though wind is obviously “variable”, coupling with batteries or other long-term storage provides a reliable service.Generally I believe that the levelised cost of wind+storage is still less than that of gas, and is obviously even better at rapid dispatch to meet instantaneous demand#RenewableEnergy#Electrification#WindEnergy#BatteryStorage

FACTS: The report highlighted China’s offshore #wind development, calling #China the undisputed leader in the offshore wind sector, though it also said #coal & #gas are still on the rise across China.“The whole narrative that we’re led to believe in the West is that China is building coal plants & that it’s doing nothing for its #CarbonFootprint,” Tom Harper, partner at the global consultant Baringa, said.#FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

“The surprising thing is #China is building a portfolio of #ZeroCarbon resources that are designed to not perfectly complement each other, but to work alongside each other to reduce reliance on #FossilFuels,” Harper added.#disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

#TrumpLies: “If you look at smart countries, they don’t use it.”#FactCheck: At least 136 countries & territories around the world use #WindPower to generate #electricity, acc/to the #EIA, with many countries growing the amount they produce. The top 5 markets for #wind power in 2024 were China, the US, Brazil, India & Germany, while Uzbekistan, Egypt & Saudi Arabia represent the next wave of wind #energy growth, acc/to the Global Wind Energy Council.#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #Climate

Michael Gerrard, dir of the Sabin Center for #ClimateChange #Law at Columbia University, disputed the idea that smart countries don’t use #WindPower. #China is soaring ahead in building a massive amount of #wind power while Germany, the UK, Finland, Spain, Sweden, France & many other countries in Europe have large programs of #wind construction, he said.“By cutting back on wind power development, the #US is ceding the lead to China in this important #technology, & killing a lot of US #jobs.”

#TrumpLies: In New England, 2 whales washed up over 50 yrs, “& last summer they had 14 washed up. Now, I’m not saying that’s the wind farm that was built, that maybe it is right.”#FactCheck: There are no links between whale deaths & offshore #wind activities, per NOAA. #NOAA says it analyzes the causes of death whenever possible, following #science & #data. Unfounded claims about offshore wind threatening #whales have surfaced as a flashpoint in the fight over the future of #renewable #energy.

@Nonilex Well, I see a link between NOAA saying there's no link and the active suppression of NOAA. He can't have facts clouding his narrative.

#TrumpLies: “The birds are dying all over the place.”#FactCheck: Turbines, like all infrastructure, can pose a risk to #birds. However, the National Audubon Society, which is dedicated to the #conservation of birds, thinks developers can manage these risks & #ClimateChange is a far greater threat. An #Audubon report found that ⅔ of North American bird species could face extinction due to rising #temperatures.#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #Climate #wind #WindPower

In January, the National #Audubon Society said responsible offshore #wind development is a clear win for #birds, the US #economy & the #climate.“While persistent myths claim widespread & devastating effects of offshore wind turbines on #wildlife, the #science tells a different story. Our findings clearly indicate that we can responsibly deploy offshore wind in a manner that still protects birds & their habitats,” Sam Wojcicki, Audubon’s senior director for climate policy, wrote.#Trump #lies

@Nonilex Of course, he doesn't give a shit about birds. "Mr President, what other pro-bird policies are you enacting? Have you suddenly decided the environment is worth protecting? Why only birds?"Anyone who makes this argument needs to be asked why they don't argue that domestic cats be kept strictly indoors, since they kill a LOT of birds.

#TrumpLies: “You can’t take them down because the environmentalists don’t let you bury the blades.”#FactCheck: #Wind turbine blades are designed for durability to withstand hurricane-force winds. However, the #US already has the ability to #recycle most #WindTurbine materials, acc/to the Dept of #Energy. It issued a report in Jan that found 90% of wind turbines can be recycled using existing infrastructure, while new strategies & innovative recycling methods will be needed to tackle the rest.

The #WindPower industry acknowledges that the disposal of #WindTurbine blades is an issue. Danish #wind #energy developer Ørsted committed in 2021 to never sending turbine blades to landfill, instead reusing, recycling or otherwise recovering them.#Trump #FossilFuels #disinformation #propaganda #FactCheck #TrumpLies #Climate #ClimateChange

@Nonilex Disposal of #WindTurbine blades is only really an issue for the older models, and then probably only marginal.https://businessnorway.com/articles/wind-turbine-blade-recycling-turning-waste-into-valuehttps://electrek.co/2023/02/08/wind-turbine-recycle-blades/https://www.energy.gov/eere/wind/articles/carbon-rivers-makes-wind-turbine-blade-recycling-and-upcycling-reality-support

@Nonilex A foul empire, built on smoke, mirrors, and STUPID. The magnitude of his self serving delusions are such that one must judge the quality of the consumers of such messaging. And then identify the co-conspirators along with the ring leader for prosecution.

@Nonilex I think this is a good example of how to respond to Trump’s bullshit. Everyone knows he lies constantly, but most journos treat his statements as if they could be true, rather than admitting up front he’s almost certainly lying. "#TrumpLies, “Wind is a very expensive form of energy.” "Facts: Onshore #wind is one of the cheapest sources of #electricity generation…”#Trump #uspol
