I feel like this will be another example of how trumps actions to curb stomp renewables will be beneficial to its development overall.
It’s challenging everyone involved to make it as efficient and effective as possible so that it will become the undeniable best option down the road.
Will it have made it better than if a sane person was in the White House? Who knows, but I don’t think it’s ever going to fold the way he and his cronies are hoping.

You can’t put up a wind turbine at all if you don’t have a permit to erect a tall tower. They’ve stopped issuing such permits if the tall tower is for a wind turbine.

Yes, but wind is only one of the many renewable energy sources. New technologies are being researched and slowly improved upon all the time. It’s only a matter of time before fossil fuels are undeniably obsolete whether old men painted in orange like it or not I’m afraid.

Given the ramp-up time for any new technology, and the way wind is ready to go at scale, that means delay, and with it, tens of billions of additional tons more CO~2~ added to the atmosphere
