As a Republican state lawmaker for 16 years, a Texas rancher and a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, John Davis’s conservative credentials are impeccable

Lol

The bills come as Trump has ramped up anti-renewable rhetoric on the national stage, calling wind turbines “ugly” and “disgusting” and barring major clean energy projects on federal lands and waters. “We don’t want windmills in this country,” Trump, who has enjoyed strong electoral support from farmers, said shortly after being inaugurated as president.

Davis retired as state legislator in 2015 to spend more time on his ranch but has lately been donning a suit and traveling back to Austin to urge his former colleagues to reject the anti-renewables bills. “I testify as a conservative and say: ‘What are you guys doing? Have you lost your mind?’” he said.

Yes, i believe so :)

“Some of these bills are attacking battery storage of all things. How dumb is that? It’s sacrificing your core conservative value principles in order to protect the oil and gas industry.”

It’s not productive or helpful when he spouts off like that,” Corbin said of Trump’s comments on wind and solar.

    We don’t want windmills in this country

    There arent any windmills in the US that produce electricity. Maybe some retrofitted ones, but then its not really accurate to call them windmills anymore. Or maybe he actually meant windmills 🤔🤔🤔🤔
