Dear President Trump,
When a wind turbine generates electricity it produces zero carbon emissions.
Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain, smog, or greenhouse gases like coal and gas produced power. The development of clean wind energy avoids significant carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution.
In 2018, the electricity generated from wind turbines avoided an estimated 200 million tons of carbon pollution.
A typical wind project repays its carbon footprint in six months or less, providing decades of zero-emission energy.
Wind farms also leave the overwhelming majority of land they’re built on undisturbed; unlike gas drilling, coal mining, or strip mining. Wind farms can also reduce surface erosion and landslides.
In 2017, wind energy generation reduced water consumption at existing power plants by approximately 95 billion gallons—the equivalent of 723 billion bottles of water.
Reducing air pollutants helps to reduce rates of asthma and other respiratory issues. These reductions in air pollution created $9.4 billion in public health savings in 2018 alone.
Stop pissing in Americans' ears and calling it rain. Stop promoting polluter profit and supporting the high medical costs for those being poisoned by air pollution- related to harmful emissions from REAL polluters- and stop spreading FAKE NEWS.
Sincerely,
A very concerned citizen with clearly more understanding of wind power than the President of the United States of America.
P.S. Hopefully now you "really understand" wind power. Here is a helpful guide and reliable source to assist you on your journey to understanding.
P.P.S. Even your appointed Energy Secretary Rick Perry touts the benefits of wind, which supplies about 20% of electricity in his home state of Texas.
