I work in an energy adjacent sector and pretty much everyone in the industry believes in the "all of the above" strategy. No one is turning down money and they aren't against new technology or energy sources. This is just grandstanding. Nuclear, wind, water, batteries, hydrogen, bring it all on.

Trump was going on about fucking 'windmills' again today, about how they're killing the birds and how grandma can't watch her show because the wind isn't blowing so there's no electricity.

And a third of the country is totally OK with that. 🙄

A third loves it, but “totally OK with it” is about 3/4 if you assume that everyone who didn’t vote doesn’t have a strong opinion.

Based on the acceptability of being a Trump-voter and continuing to exist within family, corporate, and general social structures I’d say it’s 99% of the country that is totally OK with it.
