Every right winger today: lies!

Every right winger tomorrow: "But think of all the diesel trucks that have to drive and service the wind turbines!" (an actual thing I've heard)

Oh yes, also 'wind turbines need oil lubricant' - checkmate environmentalists.

Never mind that they use a tiny fraction of the fossil fuels of a gas or coal plant.

'Any step towards reducing fossil fuels is completely pointless if it uses even a tiny shred of fossil fuels' is some deeply stupid logic that they keep falling back on.
