President Donald Trump on Thursday repeated his criticism of wind-based renewable energy, saying that the wind does not always blow.
"If it doesn't blow, you can forget about television for that night," he said at a rally in Michigan.
"Darling, I want to watch television.' 'I'm sorry! The wind isn't blowing.' I know a lot about wind," he added.
According to the Department of Energy's website, The U.S. power grid is set up to handle such variability.
Trump made similar comments in a Wednesday interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity as well as last week while speaking at a factory in Ohio.

(51,585 posts)Is he running low on new material to lie to his cult about? I guess it got a response he liked so he will say it over and over and over...Hell, I expect to hear it on the campaign trail too.
Why isn't anyone say the obvious replies to a loaded statement like that one?
He is full of hot air.
What about all the wind that comes out of his ass?
