No one argued that Biden was sharp as a tack, rather competent enough to effectively roll out the Covid vax program, leave us with two very extensive bills that are rebuilding our infrastructure and a Chips and Science Bill that predates and eclipses Trump's PA AI initiative.
Now see what dementia and ill-informed statements look like from your 'stable genius'.
First, a classic 'people are saying', nobody's seen', 'why is that?' asinine statement from your energy expert.
'Why is that?"
Uh, because you've never traveled the expanses of China nor inquired of you own DOE secretary 'what's up with all the dead birds and, and, the cancer?'
Trump’s Claim About Windmills in China
Donald Trump recently stated that he hasn't seen a lot of windmills (wind farms) in China, even claiming, “I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that?” This statement was made in the context of criticizing renewable energy policies and wind power specifically, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Fact-Check: What’s the Reality? Trump’s assertion is incorrect. The facts are:
China Leads the World in Wind Energy Capacity: China has more wind energy capacity than any other nation, accounting for approximately 44% of the world’s total wind power.
China’s Installations Far Surpass the U.S.: China has nearly triple the wind capacity of the United States, making it the undisputed global leader in the sector

Trump details $90B AI plan to transform Pennsylvania grid By Christa Marshall, Jason Plautz | 07/16/2025 06:48 AM EDT
When President Donald Trump announced more than $90 billion in investments Tuesday to supercharge artificial intelligence, he laid out a vision for how the technology revolution would be fueled: “Maybe nuclear, maybe gas, maybe coal.”
But, he added, “they won’t be powered by wind, because it doesn’t work.”
A Department of Energy reportreleased last year said the power needs from data centers could as much as triple between 2023 and 2028. Other estimates have said the U.S. will need to double the pace of new energy generation by the end of the decade to meet growing demand.
The Trump administration has repeatedly made clear that it does not think wind and solar power can fill that demand, instead saying that coal, gas, and emerging technologies like advanced nuclear or geothermal are necessary. Speaking Tuesday, Trump hammered wind power as an “intermittent” resource that wouldn’t work for data centers.
Instead, Trump said, “we brought coal back” and reiterated his campaign slogan of “drill, baby, drill” to reference western Pennsylvania’s natural gas resources. The Republican megalaw signed by Trump this month also slashes tax credits for wind and solar construction.
Supporters of wind and solar power say that cutting the credits will only backfire on Trump’s agenda. They often note that solar makes up more than half of new capacity on the grid this year.
Cutting solar and wind credits would “destabilize our energy future, and weaken the very industries that power our economy and strengthen our national security,” Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said earlier this month.
Julia Kortrey, deputy state policy director for the environmental group Evergreen Action, said in a statement Tuesday that Trump and McCormick “just cut off their cheapest, fastest tool to add new generation to the grid.”
“Slashing clean energy programs while supercharging demand with new data centers will drive up costs and worsen grid stability in a region already grappling with mounting price hikes,” said Kortrey. “You can’t claim to build the grid of the future while tearing down the very tools needed to power it.”
Trump’s appearance was met with protests from CMU students and faculty who said the university shouldn’t platform an administration that has made cuts to federal science funding and opposed clean energy support. A petition submitted to CMU administrators last week signed by nearly 1,500 students, staff and alumni said that by hosting the summit, “at which major fossil fuel, oil, and AI executives, along with Donald Trump himself, will be present, CMU cannot claim to defend sustainability, freedom of speech, or democracy in good faith.”
Carrie McDonough, an associate professor in CMU’s Department of Chemistry, said in an interview that the summit presented a “short-term” vision for powering AI, one that stood in opposition to the development of clean energy resources at the university.
“When you see the energy needs of AI, it’s clearly something that we need to be looking at alternative sources of energy if we want to make it sustainable for the future,” said McDonough, who co-authored an op-ed objecting to the summit. “Then you have the juxtaposition of these people being invited from the fossil fuel industries, Trump saying things like ‘drill, baby, drill’ and McCormick clearly wanting to increase fracking.”
Pennsylvania has been at the center of several major AI announcements this year as large technology companies search for power. In June, Amazon announced it would spend $20 billion to build out AI infrastructure in Pennsylvania.
