Ford Blows Off Trump On Clean Power, Strikes Biggest Ever PPA With DTE

Along with the rest of the US auto industry, The Ford Motor Company is sailing into stormy seas, dodging unforced trade wars, a looming recession, and the rug being pulled out from under federal programs that support the vehicle electrification movement. Federal policy notwithstanding, though, the allure of clean power continues to attract US business leaders, as demonstrated by Ford’s new clean power purchase agreement with the Michigan utility DTE.

“That term ‘clean energy’ is just a marketing term. There’s no clean energy. All energy sources involve trade-offs,” he continued. “Solar and wind take over 100 times more land, 10 times more steel and cement and heavy materials to produce. There’s no clean energy; there’s just different trade-offs.”

I’m mad at DTE for butchering my short fruit trees because the tips the their branches are within 15 ft of their lines. They can’t just prune the tips of the branches off. They cut the entire limb off at the trunk!

These trees are over 70 years old and reached their maximum height probably 4p years ago.

Insane tree butchers.

They need to bury the lines.

“federal programs that support the vehicle electrification”

i.e money taken from hardworking families under the threat of prison and handed to some politician’s cronies.

High cost low reliability power paid for by our tax dollars when we build reliable gas, coal, nuclear.

Our money up in smoke like Moss Landing!

No one has ever accused Bill Ford of being intelligent.
When an ice storm takes out solar panels and windmills, repairs are expensive.
