like who cares? let USA die if they want, not a problem for the rest of the world. When you start a war, don’t expect others to help you.
It’s a problem for Canada lmao
what a windy jerk.
What a windy jerk.
The Interior Department hailed the “innovative agreement” with the French energy giant and said, “the American people will no longer pay for ideological subsidies that benefited only the unreliable and costly offshore wind industry.″
I want these ghouls to not be alive anymore man
I would like to throw my hat in the ring and say that I will not build a wind farm for a mere $500M
it’s about the offshore view from his golf course. self-serving scumbag. needs oil platforms
As a huge metal fan I love this but as a wind power fan I regret to inform you those aren’t made of metal, they’re composite, metal is weigh too heavy and expensive.
I can’t imagine thinking wind turbines are ugly. There’s something wrong with conservative brains
Easiest question to shut them up: “Would you rather live next to a wind turbine, or an oil refinery?”
coming from the same people that wouldn’t hesitate to sell yosemite to a megacorp.
Yes.
Primarily, too much fear response. Fear makes you stupid.
Secondarily, too much in-group loyalty. They’ll do and believe anything if that’s what the group believes.
Many things wrong with them.
What’s hilarious about all this is if you actually go there and look out to see you can barely even see the wind turbines.
This is beyond stupidity.
China will be decades ahead in energy with these moronic decisions and eventually that’s also proportional to AI scalability.
Will be?
The more America becomes the villain, the more it is causing other countries to realign to the Middle Kingdom.
I never realised how tiny Winnie the Pooh’s hands are until now.
fortunately everything isn’t run by federal decree. as much as they wish. setbacks are not permanent but when the factory down the street shuts down, they lose support.
China has the mandate of heaven
This is simply treason.
He heard it called a wind farm and thinks they produce wind there.
I have an idea… Take the money… And then do it anyway. That’s what he did countless times in his life
The terms are that the trump admin will give them the Money only if/when that french company builds a gigaproject on fossil fuels. And it’s 99.9% sure that he will change his taco mind on that when it’s time to open the wallet
Ahh so then they should pull their pants down (and their underwear) and say ‘do me like you did Bill Clinton and then we’ll talk!’
Shoot… I would have not built a wind farm for only a million!
You’re killing the market with your undercutting. If we’re going to be Not Building Oligarchs, we have to rig the government procurement process. Nobody can go under $750 million.
American farmers are paid to not grow crops to keep crop prices high lol
Their precious “Free Market” at work.
Let’s not build one for $1B and put it toward actual infrastructure, covering states in the order they joined the union.
Phew! Good! This WAR has Taught me the LAST thing I want my Tax Dollars going towards is Energy that our Enemies DONT Control!
-Republicans!
Usas economy relies on other countries use of oil.
USA is going to collapse once the world wakes up to the fact it’s being played out like a Mafia controlled neighborhood.
They rely on other countries using the Petrodollar, not buying oil. Once other countries move to another currency America will go bankrupt, and that isn’t speculation, it’s very much reality. America is doing everything to stop this.
It won’t work though, the talk have already started happening. Americans better get used to the a lower standard is living because it’s going to be impossible to increase moving standards under the current debt.
And moving away from oil is a good way to move away from the petrodollar, too. (Not to mention better for our future.)
I agree.
The petrodollar was slowly dying already and the iran war is the final nail in the coffin
I agree.
Oil’s being openly sold in yuan now and america can’t do anything about it
where???
One of the reasons the petroyuan was created was that Russia, Venezuela and Iran may be able to avoid the United States’ sanctions, so nations such as Saudi Arabia, one of the main oil producers and extractors could avoid dollar hegemony and U.S. pressure. The yuan’s main problems are its volatile liquidity and short scale extension, however the Chinese government intervened increasing its gold reserves to back the petroyuan.
Lower? Bitch if we stop being a world power our standard of living will probably get higher. We can stop wasting all our resources on the military and propping up stupid shit and actually get some fucking healthcare.
I disagree with this, our standard is living is only possible because we “tax” the world though money printing. When other countries stop using the dollar we will no long be able to run on debt. A lot of things we pay for will shutdown.
Like the government? And the airports? And the parks?
And medical, and social security ect.
Bold of you to assume they don’t see France as an enemy.
Hey, if we all club together we could get through the first few stages of getting our own windfarm approved and then Trump could pay us a billion to cancel and we all walk away with a share.
Who’s in?
And then build it anyways.
Bring the money to Canada and build it here!
Then sell the electricity back to the us at premium prices
Well yea, that’s what we need the billion for. It’s the AI startup model.
wait that’s it you’re a genius. Al controlled wind farm. we’ll use Al to turn the farm to face the right direction so it gets the most out of the wind (al is a loose hing at the top of the windmill don’t tell anyone. or we hire a guy named AL. i dunno)
Hire a guy named AL to point the windmill and say it’s AI (just use a non-serif font)
I feel like in that case laws would suddenly exist for billionaires again, for just that case. “You defrauded the government!!”
. . . Hookers and Blackjack?
Count me in
Again the ever quixotic Don tilts at windmills! Onward, Rocinante!
Apparently, this has been going on for a while! https://archive.is/9BNsM
Paying not to build something feels like the most expensive way to do nothing.
It’s to build fossil fuel plants instead.
Tell that to American farmers who are paid to not farm
Screams old, pedophilic con man.
Wait, was Tony a pedo?
Just a criminal, racist, homophobe, murderer, misogynist. And I don’t doubt that his character could off-camera “fuck” some 17 year olds. So, pretty close to Trump on all accounts minus the incoherent ramblings.
he was a saint!
I think that was referring to Trump exclusively. I do not remember Tony being a pedo, nor do I know of any accusations towards James Gandolfini himself
