The only:'tremendous fumes and gases' I see are coming out of tRump. They are toxic and lethal, not just to America to the entire world as well.

Vote not just for yourself, vote for the entire planet. Our vote in 2020 is about all of us. To steal the perfect Slogan, I will take Bernies. It is a good one "Not Me. US" When you walk into that voting booth remember that you are not just casting a vote for yourself. You are casting it for all of us and we don't have much time left for petty differences.

Vote.

That's what he meant - manufacturing Wind Turbines (currently) requires expenditures of fossil fuel energy. He's not smart enough to know that EVERYTHING has a Carbon Footprint.

Trump wants people to get upset at his dipshit slanders of Wind Power and laugh about Anthropogenic Climate Change so no action will be possible until his ilk are all dead.

Carbon Footprint, Embodied Carbon, Carbon Cost, call it what you want. Construction and manufacturing have enormous impacts on climate. Manufacturing concrete is particularly bad.

Not as bad as driving Jets all over the planet every day of the year, but a big chunk.

Trump sure hates wind power, doesn't he? After Scotland kicked his ass and put up a bunch of generators off the coast of one of his golf courses, Trump has just been death on wind generators. During the hearings in Scotland, Trump vigorously opposed the generators, and claimed that he had about a gazillion experts who would testify to the generators' health hazards. After bloviating on in his inimitable fashion, one of the masters for the hearing pinned him down to identify his experts so they could hear it directly from the expert. Trump dissembled, fum-ferred, and finally said that HE was the expert. The hearing room broke out in spontaneous laughter, and Trump's concerns were swept aside.

Think about that, then think about why Trump doesn't want to go anywhere near sworn testimony.

they rant about the manufacturing pollution being factored into climate data.
they usually use that on solar, more than wind. wind is about the same as a dozen or 2 cars, but nothing unusual.
but stuffs in solar panes have names idiots can grasp. so they just scream that your data doesnt factor that in, ergo, it negates all you arguments, data, and real world, working examples.

they are also about 20 years behind the times in their arguments, esp about the trade offs and pay offs. i am hoping to go all renewable in the near future. my trumpkin is rehashing the issues from the early days of solar. that we said then that as the infant tech grew, it would get better and cheaper. like those phone gizmos.

resistant to facts.

They come out of windmills, but he implied it. He was rambling about everything and nothing. He had to remind his geniuses there that we all live on planet earth.

Does he expect the windmills to be taken down?

take him in...

Their exact words were, "Much too crazy for us"...try the "Stupid Idiots Association" instead

Is exactly comparable to the pollution/damage caused by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil platform/oil well blowout/explosion in the Gulf of Mexico

trDump wants major kickbacks from oil producers such as American, Russian, Turkish, Saudi Arabia, the Syrian/Kurdish wells trDump said he took control over.

trDump envisions major kickbacks from petrol. He does not give a shit about carbon footprints. The kick backs from solar and wind power are minuscule to the kick backs trDump can get from petrol oil suppliers.

That is why trDump trashes solar and wind.

I'm sure there are nasty byproducts of manufacturing bicycles too.

Wind power in Iowa
....

Windpower industry

A number of companies involved in the windpower industry have office or manufacturing facilities in Iowa. Blades for wind turbines are manufactured in Newton by TPI Composites and in Fort Madison by Siemens. Towers are also manufactured in Newton by Trinity Structural Towers. Companies manufacturing other parts for wind turbines are located in Iowa as well.

In addition to manufacturing, various companies support the development of wind power projects. The wind power industry employs 9,000 to 10,000 people in Iowa. Over $16 billion has been invested in Iowa's wind power projects and manufacturing facilities.

In late September 2007, Siemens Power Generation opened its new wind turbine blade factory in Fort Madison, on the banks of the Mississippi River. The factory can produce more than 2000 blades annually. A plant expansion in 2008 brought the facility up to nearly 600,000 square feet, up from 310,000. The facility manufactures 148-foot (45 m)-long, 12-ton blades for the company's 2.3-MW wind turbines installed in the United States.

The Iowa Office of Energy Independence (OEI) is tasked with determining policy and setting goals towards renewable energy production. The office seeks to coordinate efforts between industry, community leaders, state and local government, and educational institutions to achieve energy policy goals.
