And more....

They really are that stupid. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

I believe the guy who said batteries was a different guy though

Ask him if he has a mobile and what happens when it’s unplugged. Get him to admit to the existence of batteries.

Well fossil fuel plants don’t work when the most evil country on earth doesn’t like you and places sanctions on you.

These really are the most ill prepared and incompetent people running our government.

He's as thick as mince, a living man with a vacuum between his ears..

Game. Set. Match.

I live in the PNW. Plenty of cloudy days. My solar panels have cut my electricity bill in half. We need to get with the renewables & leave oil behind, as an energy source.

No, the solar panels do work on cloudy days. Only they're much less efficient giving only 10 to 25% of the normal power on a clear day.

Love the sarcasm

Wait until the secretary finds out that electricity demand in the grid peaks during daylight hours…

Solar panels don't work if the sun don't shine. Is that a threat?

Which we have, and every house in our area does too. New houses are built with them, also rental ones. But everyone comes home at the same time, and then wants to charge their EV, use induction plates, heat pump etc. Hardly anyone has a battery yet, so it's an issue atm.

This was funny! Republican IDIOT!

I don’t know, but there is at least one brain worm there.

That's how you tell someone they are stupid without actually telling them they are stupid!

Reality TV ourselves into extinction

Trump also needs to be reminded how a battery works when he's railing against windmills.

Everyone skipping over the first part where, during the day, electricity just comes out of nowhere like fucking magic.

Burgum is a simpleton

Republicans are STUPID ROBBER BARONS AND SERIAL LIARS. ALL OF THEM REPUBLICANS

It's easy to make them look like idiots. What's harder is shutting them down.

North Dakota's finest.

The men in charge of the US would rather suspend $billions to destroy wind farm projects

arrested for battery of ego

Loyalty to the mad king is their only ‘competence’ on which they were appointed

The fucking idiot also made some comment about windmills saying something about “they don’t work if the winds not blowing. You can’t make up this level of fucking stupid.

The Santa Ana winds were blowing hard and my neighbor's 8-year-old said "I bet the windmills are storing lots of electricity today" and how is it that a grade schooler gets the concept of wind & solar energy better than the Interior Secretary?

I've said this before. There are high school dropouts in Third World countries taking a pause from their reading of classics like Tolstoy, to balk and are befuddled at the level of stupidity that is leading this nation for this long. Happy trails.

I guarantee you the only reason why he was picked as the secretary of the interior was to get some oil drilling contracts for the Trump family and himself.. of course he's gonna play dumb

These fucking morons and their ignorance of basic science… 🙄

What a keeper HE is! Bravo / Brava ND.

A superb reposte!

Does your phone work when it isn’t plugged in? How about your laptop? Morons.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣I love it!

Or a 2-level barrage, or a McPhy Magnesium Hydrure system, or a Hydrolizer, or a sand heat storage, or... Anything that stores energy, in a more or less efficient and environnement-friendly way.

Also modern windmills exist.. wind still blows. ~Just like this guy. (Yellow text)

(And they're correct.)

😂

More chump stupidity.

Love this 😂

Maga Moron stupid.

Many other countries are using both and cutting their need for power plants by amazing amounts. .

Burgum is pandering to the Mad King by repeating that asinine statement. Make him acknowledge that he knows batteries store electrical power. Expose the ridiculousness of his statement.

You.Are.Wicked!! and I'm here for it!! But seriously, those are questions that SHOULD be asked of these fellows. They should be shown, if they can learn, that they don't have even the minimum fundamental knowledge and competence for the job, and they should seek some other kind of job.

How dumb are Trump supporters, particularly his immediate crowd. Seriously?!

It's #TheElectorate

Which btw the lady said it before he made his “request to enter into the record” but I get the point.

Well, don't tell HIM that! His head might well EXPLODE. OTOH, y'know what? TELL the bugger!

From Australia where we have 1,000,s of roof top batteries. all across the country. The Secretary is a fuckwit!!!

So its not only Trump, its all the other lemons!!!!

"What happens if the fire runs out?" - introduces lighters.

And that fucking moron is running the Interior Department? I'm actually surprised he hasn't renamed it to Department of Dumbassery.

GOP litmus test— you must oppose all renewable energy and spout out Trump deranged dogma. Must do.

Yepp. Break the news: did not use the grid for 6 weeks now because of these two magnificent inventions. Works. Even in Scandinavia

Jaysus in heaven! I used to think that grown ups knew how stuff worked.

Still amuses me Just how little some know . Granddaughter is aware of Batteries The Sun & Solar panels 😁😉

🤔

Not by bus, I can tell you that.

Lol

Billionaires should just stay in their lane, Great Plains Software ND, later sold to Microsoft for $1.1 billion in stock...not the US government.

When the strait closes up, the machine doesn't work.

This admin is currently correct in that regard, but any other admin who argues counter to that will be correct.

The US isn’t too stupid en masse to comprehend these things. Our lawmakers are owned by fossil fuel barons. It’s so easy to manipulate oil markets; just start a war! Renewable energy markets aren’t as easily manipulated. Wind and sun are free; how are billionaires going to benefit from them?

Charlie, it's not all Americans that are stupid. Just the Republican ones.

We couldn’t even go metric. We’re morons.

Today's children may never know just how good we had it if we can't can this miserable troupe of clowns in the next two elections.

Modelling shows that for a zero carbon grid, the UK will need to shuffle energy between months and seasons. There's lots of potential options, but some require specific geography (pumped storage for example) or rely on tech not done at scale (hydrogen storage in salt caverns).

Perhaps we should think that this guy knows better and is just supporting the petro industry position but the fact of the matter is that these people really are that stupid. People - please stop equating wealth with intelligence.

Don’t be absurd, everyone knows that the space shuttle had a hose line connected to it to provide the sweet, sweet oil that it needed. Obviously.

“But batteries are from science and science is gay. The pastor who molested both my children told me so.” -every confederate prehuman squatting in the filthy shithole south!

What’s a GW he wonders.

🤭

So what happens when oil/coal/gas prices skyrocket because, IDK, some orange fool picks a war of choice with a major oil/coal/gas exporter? IG the world will never know...

Priceless Trumpian ineptitude

GOP'S WORLD 101😱😵‍💫🥴😂

#Americans politicians aren't stupid. They are voluntarily and vocally ignorant so they can get the stupid voters (~35% of voters) to consistently vote and support them.

Loved this take down!

There’s stupid, damned stupid, and MAGA stupid.

EXACTLY!! What in the actual hell is wrong with these people - coal or whatever vs clean energy? Do they think we're stupid and don't understand how clean energy works? They are all just lying liars and they know it. So, yes, they are just earning their bribes. This GQP sh*t is so exhausting! 🤬🤬🤬

When corrupt oil barons fund Super PACs to elect sycophantic politicians, this is the result. Well-groomed "manboys" and "girlygirls" are paid by taxpayers. But once they are in the House and Senate, they serve the will of billionaire oil barons, and disseminate lying fat bully Trump's falsehoods.

quick and snappy is what has to be done to counter these propagandists, who KNOW that they’re wrong, and are being paid to spew soundbites.

…magat reasoning at work… I’d like to hear him explain ‘round the world travel - since the earth is flat and all…😵‍💫🥵

Bought and paid for by the oil and gas lobby.

Not to mention the fact that network load plummets at night, considering that the extreme amount of power use is for commercial purposes, which only occur during the day. Battery assisted solar is an extremely effective power production method.

The best of the best!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

There’s a large windmill farm not far from me. The Altamont Pass….i have driven through that pass on many occasions, and have never seen any dead birds 🤦🏻‍♀️

I thought it was only certain Americans that called them "windmills" what are they milling exactly?

I’ve seen more dead birds that had flown into windows

Also true.

Or private jets?

There is now research that shows that birds are learning to avoid turbine blades.

Plus, researchers figured out that you can cut bird deaths way down by painting one blade black.

Or cats.

Also studies have shown that painting just 1 blade black completely eliminates windmill birdstrikes, yet you don't see them doing it for some reason.

Both would be almost non-existent. When was the last time you were in the country and saw dead birds? Check these sites out because birds aren’t real anyway.

I've read that other countries that have windmills paint one blade black and that keeps the birds from flying into the blades. It seems to work and yet the idiots who build windfarms in America can't seem to handle that kind of technology.🙄

The Bakken field in North Dakota is so bright from all the flare stacks that it looks like a city from space.
