Renewable giants shrug off Trump's anti-wind policies: 'Electrification is absolutely unstoppable'
Story by Sam Meredith • 59m

Renewable energy giants appear relatively sanguine about U.S. President Donald Trump's anti-wind policies.
Trump temporarily suspended new or renewed leases for offshore and onshore wind projects and halted the leasing of wind power projects on the outer continental shelf.
"I believe the electrification age has just begun," Joe Kaeser, chairman of the supervisory board of Siemens Energy, told CNBC's Dan Murphy at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Renewable energy giants appear relatively sanguine about U.S. President Donald Trump's anti-wind policies, describing the process of replacing fossil fuels with electrically powered products as "absolutely unstoppable."

Trump, who promised a new "golden age" for America in his inaugural address on Monday, swiftly took aim at low-carbon energy initiatives.

Smug might have been a better word.  It also tells me for these people "saving the world" is a non-issue and making money the only issue. :bullie smokin:

Ending the federal government's financing of solar and wind power generation and leaving them to compete will most certainly end both over night.

I say end taxpayer subsidizing of all this nonsense!!!!

Not only ending federal subsidies for renewables, but ending any payments to states that decide to fund renewables.

California gets over 25% of its yearly revenue from the federal government, and I simply do not want my federal taxes to go to any funding of green schemes.

If any state wants to fund green energy, then the citizens of that state are the ones that should pay for it.

When that happens, there will be no more subsidies into the schemes

Germany has proven that electrification is stoppable ... when there's no wind.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
