But what programme was he enrolled in?

Space solar panel + microwave power transmission. Bonus point if you shade the desert area and do land reclamation at the same time.

We drove through this Fowler wind farm and the one right North of it on our way to Chicago last weekend.

Shit was cool af to see! I kept looking for the dead birds but I couldn't find them.

This one in my neighborhood. Been there for 40+ years. One of the first wind farms in the US.

Altamont pass wind farm.

More fuckery from the syphilitic orange menace and his dead birds from wind farms. Yes, the turbines kill some, but no where near the amount he claims.

IIRC, cats kill more than a billion birds per year.
Better watch out if the fat bastard gets wind of this (pun intended), he will want to ban cats

Can imagine great scope for a disaster movie (or an evil-criminal-mastermind threatens global destruction movie) with such a scheme. Not predicting an actual real-world disaster necessarily, but just that a scriptwriter could probably come up with something ("they've taken control of the microwave beam and are threatening to redirect it at Washington DC!")

I recognized that as soon as I saw it...I used to drive over the Altamont every day...at about 0400...then back about 1900. I just don't miss it even a little bit.

Domestic cats probably kill more birds.

Guess who's tax money is going to pay for these lost lawsuits....
