Dori: One of Jay Inslee’s beloved wind turbines started a wildfire

This is a Dori Monson Show exclusive.

I do not know if you realize this, but Jay Inslee is going to be the next president of the United States. And one of Jay Inslee’s major themes in his green campaign is that we need more wind energy. He has repeatedly used this same line: “Donald Trump says wind turbines cause cancer, but we know they don’t cause cancer, they cause jobs.”

And as we know, there’s little that Jay Inslee loves more than blaming wildfire smoke in Washington on climate change. Remember last summer, when he said that our kids “couldn’t go swimmin’ for goodness’ sakes” because of the smoke?

Well, there is one other thing that wind turbines cause besides jobs, apparently — wildfires.

On Saturday, a wildfire started in Southeastern Washington thanks to a wind turbine. It happened when the generator of one of the wind turbines caught on fire. According to fire officials, the 242-acre fire started in Bickleton, a small community in Klickitat County south of Yakima.

So the wind turbines that Jay Inslee has been obsessed with started one of the wildfires he hates.

Gosh, Governor — you’re the one who told us about all the problems of wildfires and how we need to move away from greenhouse gases and look to cleaner energy. But now because of one of your beloved wind turbines, we can’t go swimmin’ at the ol’ fishing hole in Klickitat County for goodness’ sakes, because the air is too thick with smoke. Come on, Governor — as you yourself said, we “deserve better than a smokey future.”

I wish I could make up stuff that great, but reality is better. I guess the nice thing is, the other wind turbines could just blow all the smoke away.
