I mean, if I were President of the USA but looking out for a different country whose economy is cratering and is almost wholly dependent on selling fossil fuels, yeah… I’d probably say this too.

“destroying the beauty of the environment”
def: hypocrite, this coming from the same person who wants to sell off public lands, national parks, and drill/deforest every acre possible. Fuck right off now.
These are lies. He’s completely stupid and/or uninformed when it comes to energy policy. Wind and solar energy are more AFFORDABLE than fossil fuels. They are LESS dependent on government subsidies. They create MORE jobs per equivalent btu.
What they are is less PROFITABLE for the establishment.
All over the world, there are old, uneducated men sitting in the corners of bars saying stuff like this. But in most countries they aren't given absolute power.
Wow, drump, I mean, sure, you’re a contemptible little fucking asshole, and you’re obviously dumber’n a box of rocks, but at least you’re consistently fucking stoo-pud. Maybe some dumb fucking cracker somewhere will give you a fucking participation ribbon for being a fucking stoo-pud shit.
I dont mind subsidizing renewables.
If you wait for the market to decide on something that only impacts costs when the environmental damage is too far gone to repair, the market has failed.
The good news is that renewables are already winning. We just need to take the subsidies OFF of FF now.
trump lies!
We own 20 PV panels, a battery and Level 2 EV charger.
Excess daytime power goes back to the grid.
As part of the utility battery bonus program - the battery sends back 3.5KWh at night.
The EV gets charged to 80% when needed.
The mandatory connect fee is our monthly bill - $15.81 mo.
I looked it up several years ago and figured that a wind turbine creates enough energy to cover its costs in like a year and a half or something. I don’t know how accurate my calculation was but I’m sure there wouldn’t like be thousands of them in states like Texas if they weren’t profitable .
Apparently he is unaware of how the whale oil industry was killed off in the late 19th century by the discovery of reserves of petroleum. Petroleum (AKA fossil fuel) is going to be replaced by renewable energy. Change is inevitable. You can go with it or be left behind.
Renewable energy is so much cheaper to produce that the National Coal Mining Museum uses 100% renewable energy - and before anyone says the obvious not to be green but because it's cheaper.
This son of a bitch is a moron he has no clue how alternative energy works and how it is what we need to literally save our biosphere he can fuck all the way off.
It's a measure of how bad things are in the States right now when a series such as "Landman" can be aired without near universal criticism for being the most obvious shill for the oil business since Dallas.
If you look at the actual IMF numbers (see 🔗), “only” $3 billion of that is producer subsidies. The rest, $754 billion, is not an estimate of subsidies as conventionally defined (you won’t find the number anywhere in a budget document), but the IMF’s estimate of how much more in carbon and other …
… taxes it reckons U.S. consumers of fossil fuels and electricity should have paid on their energy purchases in order to optimally internalize various consumption-related externalities. Bizarrely, over 40% of their number ($324 billion) relates not specifically to the combustion of fossil fuels, …
… but to DRIVING. Yet those “vehicle externalities — traffic congestion and accidents — would be just as large if all ICE vehicles were replaced by EVs.
He IS the devil

The Red States in the middle of the US love wind turbines, since they have large areas of vacant land to install them on, and graze cows or extract oil beneath them, or even farm, with little impediment.
"Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil."
I mean selling carbon credits was the only thing keeping Tesla solvent for years and years. For being the most valuable car company they are the least profitable. But otherwise, everything trump writes is a lie. And easily debunked.
Yep. Putin gets his money from the oil industry. Trump is #PutinsPuppet.
Also, Trump is straight up lying (as usual) about the cost and efficiency. Fossil fuels are just that: finite fuels. Wind and solar and technologies, and the energy they create is ultimately derived from the sun. 🌞
Trump talks about China really pig boy, what about your watches your Bibles your shoes and trump flags and all the shit your trying to sell. Guess what trump followers it's made in China. Bad mouths the country who makes his shit to make money off his stupid mindless fools followers. He loves fools
"Wind turbines" chump had years to learn the difference...he is moron oaf, anti-science, lover of dictators of other countries that want to sell him their oil
#IranBombing: 🔥EVEN WORSE🔥The President of the United States has 🤯 sole "unlimited authority" to order the launch of #nuclearweapons, 🤯 with no official able to countermand that decision.
💀💀💀💀💀 And we have a dementing, malignant narcissist as President...
“destroying the beauty of the environment” that’s fresh coming from the guy selling off Federal lands, national parks, historic Indigenous sites, and squashing the EPA…
Can someone take this idiots phone away and get gramps to bed.
"Windmills, and the rest of this 'JUNK,' . . . is [sic] destroying the beauty of the environment, and is [sic] 10 times more costly . . . ."
He's such a fucking illiterate.
Beauty of the environment? Aren’t they trying to sell public land and opening up National Parks for logging? I just want him to go away. So exhausting.
Trump is taking the USA to war in a desperate attempt to get his approval ratings above 45%. Convicted of 34 felonies & liable for fraud & sexual assault, Trump ignores the Constitution, the law and the courts, and criminally exploits the Presidency for his own personal financial gain. LOCK HIM UP.
Still staying mad about those windmills in Scotland, I see. Oil derricks aren't pretty either, but he can't see any of those from his golf course so they don't count.
trump has no clue because he never nor has he lived like most of us. I invested 9k(a lot of$$) into new insulation in my attic. It has reduced my gas and electric bill(live in Bflo NY area). I was happy to receive a credit of 700 on my tax bill. Surely, not the same as wealthy corporations.
So much for the energy independence crowd. And where the fuck does anyone get off complaining about alternative energy destroying the environment when fossil fuels are...what, exactly?
Says the idiot who wants to sell Federal lands for drilling. Talk about ruining the beautiful landscape. I kind of like the look of windmills, though, even though they cause cancer. Dumbest leader on the face of the earth.
It will be funny when the world switches to renewable, which they are doing, and then the demand for oil and gas collapses and the drill baby drill business model is dead.
He’s fucking moron and so are his followers. The IS government subsidizes the oil industry to the hundreds of billions. Let’s put all energy production on an even playing field and see while one comes out on top.
Sending oil prices through the roof might not be such a bad thing, even though it's completely unintentional on Tangerine Scrotum's part. I still hope that the Iranians manage to get another revolution going while there's still infrastructure left.
If youre Russia, high oil prices is great news. It funds their war.
Also great for domestic US oil producers. Prices have been too low to "drill baby drill" profitably. Now they can start buying up public land and dropping wells all over.
No subsidies for Big Oil either? I'll do you one better, No subsidies for corporations period! If you can't figure out how to run to your business without taxpayer bailouts, tough shit!
Yes! Not only should it not need subsidy, there should be taxes on industry that externalizes costs (like pollution or causing climate change). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigouvian_tax
His agenda against windmills dates back to years ago when he tried to get them banned from near his Scottish golf club as he thought it spoiled the view.
He lost in court so he’s obviously doing his revenge thing yet again.
TACO- "And that's why I am selling off forests and public land, because it's ugly and a huge fire hazard"
AND ALL THE MONEY COMES TO --ME--, NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!
2/4. in yr incurred. 60-85% cost of well.
2) TDCs (tangible drilling costs) refer to physical assets like rigs & eqpmt. Costs depreciated over time, typically 5-7 yrs.
3) Percentage Depletion Allowance, producers deduct portion of revenue (usually 15%) from gross income generated by sale of o & NG.
3/4. There are several other incentives to include credits for enhanced recovery, small producer tax credits, partnerships in which income taxes at lower rates & carbon capture incentives (green energy tax incentive).
I highlight these to show Trump is a moron & never grasps what he is discussing.
I mean, he probably doesn't even realize HOW massive the subsidy is to oil and gas. Just reading this post, he'd fall asleep at the word "realize" in the first sentence.
I'm honestly fascinated by what he's trying to do with "JUNK" linguistically. Like, is he actually making the word intense while simultaneously scare quoting to indicate the flimsy logic behind the word choice?
This criminal is a bonafide imbecile. If that’s his argument, then we should stop subsidizing Musk. I would gladly pay more taxes for renewable energy. I’m heartbroken that public lands will be sold for these greedy bastards.
I'm not sure what you're asking. These are corp and big oil subsidies, so it's funny for him to state energy shouldn't have subsidies when oil has so much.
Why is it useless? It shows how much we already subsidize energy and would be fine with the costs of Medicaid and SNAP without the oil and corp subsidies.
Additionally, if all the green power stuff is made in China, it’s because republicans have been fighting against it for decades here. We should be the world leader in renewables. The only reason we aren’t is because of your party’s oil kickbacks.
The irony of saying they don't want to destroy the beautiful environment, while also wanting to destroy the environment by allowing oil, gas, & mineral exploration in national parks. 2 million acres to be sold, mainly in national parks. Utah might not have any parks left in the big ugly bill passes.
To be fair, National Parks and Monuments are currently protected in the Bill; but, there is a court case to determine if a President can legally rescind Monument status.
Also, the Bill authorizes an additional 250+ Million acres for future sales.
Some public lands are expressly excluded from sale in the bill (National Parks, National Monuments, anything in Montana). The 250+ million would be National Forest, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and any monuments that the President rescinds as monuments (if he wins a court case).
I’m surprised he didn’t say how the windmills are killing the birds… the big, beautiful birds like the ostrich and the penguin… birds we can’t get back if we lose them to the windmills…
"Green tax credits... destroying the beauty of this environment..." Says the numnut who plans to sell off America's public lands (including national forest land) to developers who will SURELY destroy the true natural beauty of the US.

We wouldn’t be in the mess with the Middle East if we’d invest in alternative energy sources
We have the ability to create alternatives
We have dtrumpf and the republicans still living in the past with their coal and oil

Not normal. But keep burning those fossil fuels…🤦♂️
Oil and Gas: ~$750 billion
Renewables: ~$40 billion
Hard numbers are hard to compile but the order of magnitude is clear. He's such a liar, liar, liar.
"In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies in the United States totaled $757 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund." (https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-proposals-to-reduce-fossil-fuel-subsidies-january-2024)
Feel free to end those subsidies any time, buddy.

I agree. Stop subsidizing gas and oil.
"Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil."

Can someone take this idiots phone away and get gramps to bed.
It sounds like grandpa taco needs a nap, and meds, and to be impeached.
Drop the oil company subsidies and then let the free market decide which energy source is the most efficient.
He's such a fucking illiterate.
He has no idea how lucky he is to be far enough away from me.
Louis XIV said L'État, c'est moi - "I am the State" - what republicans are not appalled?
Ooh right - fuck democracy 👇🤢
But hey-ull no - we don't gotta lurn nuffin from da incesters 🏴👇🤣
Have fun to pay off 40 trillion in debt
Also great for domestic US oil producers. Prices have been too low to "drill baby drill" profitably. Now they can start buying up public land and dropping wells all over.
Not sure how this is great for citizens.
They really do make everything.🤔
Suffice it to say that coal is not coming back.
He lost in court so he’s obviously doing his revenge thing yet again.

Oil & NG production, especially for independent producers, depends on tax incentives & write offs.
1) IDCs (Intangible drilling costs) tax incentives for oil & gas investments. IDCs costs associated w/ drilling wells (labor, fuel, supplies & other expenses). In many cases fully deductible
2) TDCs (tangible drilling costs) refer to physical assets like rigs & eqpmt. Costs depreciated over time, typically 5-7 yrs.
3) Percentage Depletion Allowance, producers deduct portion of revenue (usually 15%) from gross income generated by sale of o & NG.

Does he not know how much the Petroleum/Oil industry is subsidized by various world governments?
Just tax the rich. They can afford it.
Also, the Bill authorizes an additional 250+ Million acres for future sales.

This hatred for wind, solar, hydro, and other power is purely about greed and our petroleum moguls.
He just paved over a rose garden.
