....because his pinwheel is about as sound as the wind energy companies sucking up billions of dollars to fund...a pinwheel. Get it? The corruption to fund wind and solar when those technologies are a joke.

BINGO! You got it. That's the point. Very large, very expensive, and work just slightly better than a 99 cent pinwheel.

Either do the big, expensive windmills...unless you subsidize the companies with hundreds of millions of dollars.

You don't have a very high IQ, do you? Let me lay it out for you in simple terms. Sorry I don't have a Crayon font, but I'll try and make due.
The OP was making a satirical point about how the wind energy industry is a joke. How the wind energy industry is merely a cash cow for funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into a project that doesn't produce very much electricity, and actually costs more than it can make. Thus, he was wondering if his pinwheel would qualify for a grant. Are you following along now?
It's a post that is pointing out how the government spends money like mad, and wastes it faster than a crackhead on a Friday night.
If you still don't get it, you should probably try and get an education before discussing anything online, because the concept of the OP's post isn't rocket science. It's satire. It's a method that people have used to make a point for eons.
