I also think many Twilight Zone episodes are appropriate, as is 1984.

I detest assholes trying to push us around with their absurd values and rules.

pulling down windmills to get to the lignite buried in the ground

It looks like the "sustainable energy" cannot replace fossil fuels, yet.

They intentionally planted those windmills on top of the "dirty carbon" fuel. They had a ceremony when the windmills were built. A politician proclaimed these windmills as "the future of power."

New York’s regulator says that all this wind and solar energy not only won’t lower electricity prices, it will raise them by a whopping 64%. Supplier delays at Sunrise, Ocean Wind 1, and Revolution Wind projects on the East Coast, and other factors will cost Ørsted $2.3 billion overall, which, as Reuters notes, is “over half the book value of Ørsted’s US operations.”

"Application of Empire/Beacon's request would result in a 54% increase on average across its portfolio of projects," says the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

Into this perfect storm comes new evidence that the wind industry is behind elevated whale deaths, simply from mapping the ocean floor and increasing boat traffic in previously untrafficked areas. Deaths could spike further if and when construction begins.

Both CAP and Media Matters deny that the wind industry is killing whales. “The real reason behind the recent spike in whale deaths may simply be that there are more whales,” claimed CAP.

But that’s false. In truth, the population of North Atlantic right whales has plummeted. Today there are only 340 of the whales left, down from over 400 just a few years ago. Their average life expectancy has declined from a century to 45 years.
