'What's he going to do when it's not windy?' Marjorie Taylor Greene fumes about Biden's clean energy

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recently attacked President Joe Biden for supporting developing wind power on the grounds that it is not always windy outside.

In a video clip flagged by @PatriotTakes, the Georgia congresswoman accused Biden of not doing enough to "prop up American oil and gas," and instead putting his support in a green energy agenda.

"He thinks wind turbines are the way to go!" she complained. "I mean what is he going to do when it’s not a windy day? Is he going to stand out there and blow hot air at all the wind turbines? Because that's basically what he does!"

In fact, wind turbines are just one part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce America's fossil fuel emissions, as the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act also includes significant incentives to build out solar and nuclear energy, as well as a hastening of a transition from gas-powered to electric vehicles.

backsides facing the wind turbines, and then we'll have methane generated wind energy.

In fact, it is likely that it is always windy in most places. The places vary from one day to the next due to differential heating of the earth's surface and the fact that being fairly round and rotating, the velocity of air at the equator is much faster that the velocity of air at the poles. Now there are occasional days that the wind is calm where you are standing, it happens, but also note that even a very slow wind will move a turbine, that is why they make them so big.

In short Empty G is an idiot, not by accident, but an idiot regardless.
