I genuinely wonder how #TemuGoebbels thinks this going to end. The real Goebbels ended his story murdering his 5 kids in Hitler’s bunker before shooting his wife, then himself & had their bodies burned so the people couldn’t abuse their corpses for revenge like they did w Mussolini.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects
