What Does This Have To Do With The Price Of Groceries?

Literally tilting at windmills. Already.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, the president-elect declared that the purported reign of terror Americans have suffered from having clean energy produced by windmills would soon come to a close. 

"Windmills are an economic and environmental disaster," Trump declared without citing any evidence to back up this claim. "I don’t want even one built during my Administration. The thousands of dead and broken ones should be ripped down ASAP. Most expensive energy, only work with massive government subsidies, which we will no longer pay!" 

According to statistics provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wind power is currently the third-largest source of renewable energy in the United States, following biofuels and wood. Additionally, multiple studies have found that onshore wind projects are less expensive renewable energy sources than solar wind projects as measured by cost per kilowatt hour.

Texas has some of the largest wind farms in the country. I don’t think Panhandle ranchers want to lose that lease income. 🤔 

Pretty sure Congress is going to maintain those “massive subsidies,” too.
