Trump's quixotic grudge against windmills is reaching bizarre heights.

He's literally tilting at windmills. Beyond fucking parody.

where's that thing about getting paid for not growing stuff and getting paid more for not growing more.

His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.

When they announced this they said it would 'lower costs for consumers' too, which doesn't make sense.

Why doesn't he use the military to blow up our infrastructure? Wouldn't it have been more cost effective to bomb the wind farm?
