    Other than “manufacturing them releases fumes”, I don’t see how any of these forms a coherent message.

      Also, wind turbines (I assume that is what he meant, unless he has a problem with using wind to turn grain into flour) not being made here is a bunk argument anyway.

      First off…General Electric.

      Second off, the reason why there are so many manufactures in China is because China is investing and deploying wind at a crazy rate. The only thing Trump did with wind was break it.

      They can really be manufactured just about anywhere, right? What’s happening is business (and jobs!) are being created to meet a demand. Not the other way around.

      That kind of demand can only really come from the stroke of a pen. Particularly his (or rather, the presidents) pen (after passing house and Senate, of course).

      You know what’s cool about domestic manufactured and implementation of wind energy? Energy independence.

      Also I’d bet dollars to donuts that GHG per KW, cradle to grave, for a wind turbine, are orders of magnitude lower than a coal or natural gas plant. And I’d wager the same for bird deaths and home values. Basically all of these are objectively better with wind.
