windmill

Some Oregon progressives give a nod to the bureaucracy that once mired nuclear reactors and say it’s time to give windmills and solar panels a faster pass.

He had barely left the plane at Prestwick Airport when he turned to a group of journalists and reiterated his distaste for wind farms, declaring "stop the windmills - you're ruining your countries".

But he soon became infuriated at plans to construct an offshore wind farm nearby, arguing that the "windmills" - as he prefers to call the structures - would ruin the view.

Others were more biting: “The EGO has landed” mocked the spectacle, while one paper highlighted his signature complaint with the headline, “U.S. President blasts ‘windmills’ and migration as visit begins.”

"Stop the windmills, and also, I mean, there's a couple of things I could say, but on immigration, you'd better get your act together or you're not going to have Europe anymore."
