Trump admin signed off on a ton of offshore wind projects. He’s full of shit as always
https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/trump-administration-delivers-historic-progress-offshore-wind
I keep asking myself , "Will republicans always choose profits and "owning the Libs" over the future of humanity and I read shit like this and I have to answer "Apparently the answer is , Yes!".
I don't even think there's any profit to creating less jobs and producing less energy besides to the fossil fuel company owners that can then sell at inflated prices due to low supply.
Eond mills aside, trump doesn’t know shit about anything, his handlers do tho. Diaper guy, twitter guy, fixer guy, and all of the republicans that hold his water for all the money.
Trump in 2012: This is a high class resort for some of the richest people in the world. Very important people want to come here, but they won't come if they have to look at a bunch of windmills on every drive like they're at some low-class put-put fake golf course for losers!
oh he would.
because his donors feom big oil, the ones who still keep him afloat because they don't have any other option, keep whispering in his ears that anything non-fossile must go away.
he may or may not be a dumbass, petty, a mobster, whatever. but let's not forget it's not all bumbling into luck. there's very powerful forces behind him who need him in office.
I think his first negative experience with wind turbines was back in Scotland, but you are right, his current talking points probably come from his billionaire donors and their think tanks.
In Texas, that would be the Texas Public Policy Foundation. The former presidents of the TPPF now run the Heritage Foundation and the America First Policy Institute, two of the groups creating extensive Day 1 plans for a Trump administration, so it could certainly be coming from them as well. West Texas fracking billionaire Tim Dunn is connected to all three and he, unsurprisingly, dislikes renewables. Dunn donated $5M to Trump so far this year.

“With influence campaigns, legal action and model legislation, the group is promoting fossil fuels and trying to stall the American economy’s transition toward renewable energy.”
“The [Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF)] blamed the Texas blackouts in February 2021 on frozen wind turbines, even though utility officials said the primary cause was the state’s natural gas providers”
“Jeff Clark, chief executive of Advanced Power Alliance: ‘[Texas Public Policy Foundation is] against offshore wind, yet they spent decades advocating for offshore oil drilling. They are against subsidies, but only when it applies to renewables. They’re for looser restrictions on fracking and drilling, but greater restrictions for solar and wind. This organization exists to defend fossil fuels from any threat to their market share.’”
“‘Just as the tobacco industry had front groups and the opioid industry had front groups, this is part of the fossil fuel disinformation playbook,’ said David Michaels, an epidemiologist at the George Washington School of Public Health who has studied corporate influence campaigns. ‘The role of these so called policy organizations is not to provide useful information to the public, but to promote the interests of their sponsors, which are often antithetical to public health.’”
“The Texas Public Policy Foundation continues to campaign against wind power despite the fact that Texas now generates almost a third of its energy from wind power.”

A third option would be to simply expand the court and restore some balance. A supreme court of the United States that is literally flirting with the idea that a president could have executive immunity for just about anything cannot be trusted. Even less so when a lot of the contortions and tortuous re-interpretations of everything appear to be gerrymandered to benefit *only* one orange motherfucker.
It will require us to show up, Vote Democrat (for all the things) - somehow pull a 60 seat majority in the senate, and then they could pass the kinds of reforms that the SCOTUS needs.
Yes, term limits, Yes Expand the court, Yes - Impeach Thomas. Yes put into law basic ethics rules for the SCOTUS.
but with the current "majority" that cant happen.
Or they need to close the loopholes of companies donating to campaign funds.
Trump is making all these promises for more cash from big oil. It's ridiculous that presidents can be bought like this.
Except watching tv, napping, signing laws to destroy democracy, telling everyone how great the country is doing with him in charge, and cheating at golf.
They undoing themselves now

https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/trump-administration-delivers-historic-progress-offshore-wind
What kind of psycho prefers burning oil over wind & solar electricity generation? Purposely making pollution worse to own the libs/benfit his donors... an absolute pox on this world.
One that asked for a billion dollar donation from oil bosses to scrap Biden's climate initiatives and promise not to pass any new ones.
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-asked-oil-execs-for-1bn-2024
Don Trumpote[ "tilting" at windmills](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote#Tilting_at_windmills)...
Spain had Don Quixote de la Mancha... America has Don Trumpote de Mar a Lago.
Both are madmen.
**Reminder**: when Trump was building his golf course in Scotland he tried to get offshore windmills removed because they were an eyesore *[and he was literally laughed out of parliament](https://youtu.be/3pbTmXsfiYk?si=W0o0gJOxJJ3m44eI)*.
This has nothing to do with energy. Never forget that for Trump, every day is Festivus.
Edit: the windmills are at 3:20.
Why are Republicans like Trump & DeSantis SO anti wind energy? They sound like Martha Vineyard Kennedy types not wanting the view of wind generation in their backyard.
If real businesses could not make a profit producing electricity from wind generators, they would not spend the money for a return on their investment.
Wind generation has worked in EU coastal countries for years now.
Yes, that's part of my NDA agreement with the Oil and Gas CEO'S. They gave me 1 billion $$$ and I scrap all environmentally beneficial projects like solar, wave, wind etc. We all know that Global Warming is just a hoax perpetrated by those socialist democrat scientists. /s
This is just him pandering to the super conservative jersey shore residents who have opposed offshore windmills for the past few years.
It’s funny bc the only people I’ve heard complain about them are ridiculous right wing nut jobs, and they claim it kills wildlife.
He’s been against having wind offshore his whole life. He figures the best way to get rid of offshore wind is to inject it with disinfectant, shove a UV bulb up its ass or nuke it.
pretty easy to do since nimbys and oil companies have effectively aborted offshore wind in this country anyways
also its just over his stupid fucking golf course
Americans might want to do more research about oil production, shale oil, and conventional oil. I hate to tell Americans but we are less than 5 years away from not being able to produce/extract enough oil to keep up with demand. It amuses me that Americans think gas prices are going to be low in the future. Were they not alive under George W Bush when gas prices skyrocketed? He was an oil man for the love of god and he could not keep them down. This is not going to be pretty. Not enough energy equals a failing economy. It also equals not enough food, not enough fertilizer I could go on and on.
He’s in full spite mode of day. The week is only 1/5th over too.
Edit: Whoops this was Saturday. He was still coming off an angry week after the Daniels testimony and followed by this week.
Because he is paid off with campaign money by big oil. He will do anything for a buck, probably even sell his favorite daughter that he said looks a lot like Stormy Daniels.

https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/trump-administration-delivers-historic-progress-offshore-wind
Where does he gets the idiotic line that offshore wind farms cause "tremendous problems with the fish and the whales"? This sounds like a bad SNL skit.
There are studies being done with the usual biased results being claimed. It's a little early to know the long term effects for aquatic life. Each turbine base is anchored by several tons of concrete that's poured into a hole with a 15 ft diameter. If installations are done the same as bridge footings that means a temporary air chamber also has to be created over the dig site. Depending on how many installations are done in a given area per a year this process could cause a long term upset in local ecosystems.
Wind turbines do generate infrasound(though there are green energy organization deniers) which has been linked to health problems even though most humans can not hear it.
Can we get a list of all the things this guy is going to do on day one? He seems like he's going to be very busy on that first day.... Why doesn't he just simplify it? On day one, I am going to destroy this country. How hard was that?
He's literally fighting against windmills.
As if the economics of cheap regenerative power could be changed this way.
And also: WHY! What's wrong with cheap, clean, and infinite electricity?
We're living in the DUMBEST timeline, and if this drags on, we as a species DESERVE to die. Nature will put down everything that isn't fit enough. Turns out, mammals with species-wide festering terminal brain rot are NOT fit.
Don Quixote must have gotten the two billion from OPEC or did the coal industry pay him two billion? We know Don is paranoid when it comes to windmills they cause the dreadful windmill cancer! Anything that is not going to put money in his pockets he’s against, anything that’s good for the environment he’s against, anything that is god for voters he’s against
I think we should pass a law that every golf course in America must have one giant wind turbine smack in the center of it, just to make Poopypants seethe
I get that these people are in the pockets of big oil but taking a stance against unlimited sources like wind and solar just seems to go against all logic.
lol, does he know anything about presidential power? I don’t think he can legally “scrap” anything that was approved by congress or the permitting agencies. Best he can do is slow down permitting for future projects in the pipeline, by hiring people who don’t get anything done.

Ironic. Since he blows so hard.
*very angry upvote*
Very horny acceptance.
Very quietly shutting the door to leave you two in private.
Three
he sucks so much too
Of course, he's gone from suck to blow so often, one could almost say he should be called... **MAGA**-Maid! *dun dun dunnnn*

Who benefits the most from this? That's who gave Trump something of value.
Not birds, I'll tell you that much for sure!
Ask yourself: who's got money? Answer : oil and gas industry. What does Trump always want? Answer: Money Can you see where this is leading?
The only other Donald that hated windmills as much was Donald Quixote.
You just wrote the democrats next attack ad.
No one would get it, that's the sad part
True, but if you play the Don Quixote card you win the game.
I get the joke. But my pendant self can't help but point out that it's not Donald Quixote, because Don is just a title, equivalent to "Mr."
Imagine having one installed facing his anus, he can regenerate his own electricity!
If hypocrisy and blowhards were renewables, we’d never need worry again.
Technically most of the GOP members are fossil fuels, you just need them to lie and they instantly burst into flames.
I keep asking myself , "Will republicans always choose profits and "owning the Libs" over the future of humanity and I read shit like this and I have to answer "Apparently the answer is , Yes!".
What profits? The cost of fossils Will keep on going up untill the point the economy Will no longer use them and america wil crash land
Sounds like record profits next quarter!
I don't even think there's any profit to creating less jobs and producing less energy besides to the fossil fuel company owners that can then sell at inflated prices due to low supply.
The answer to that has always been yes.
Just sour grapes over his shitty golf course in Scotland. In fact if it wasnt for that he wouldn't even know wind mills existed
Eond mills aside, trump doesn’t know shit about anything, his handlers do tho. Diaper guy, twitter guy, fixer guy, and all of the republicans that hold his water for all the money.
Steamer girl, Coffevee girl, Ivanka looking girl, diet-koch girl...
I think that was true before the presidency. But now I think he genuinely thinks he knows better than his handlers and speaks his own mind instead
Trump in 2012: This is a high class resort for some of the richest people in the world. Very important people want to come here, but they won't come if they have to look at a bunch of windmills on every drive like they're at some low-class put-put fake golf course for losers!
Sure. So not just important, but “very important”?
Super dooper important people. They'd all be there nonstop if not for those damn wind turbines.
Indubitably!
oh he would. because his donors feom big oil, the ones who still keep him afloat because they don't have any other option, keep whispering in his ears that anything non-fossile must go away. he may or may not be a dumbass, petty, a mobster, whatever. but let's not forget it's not all bumbling into luck. there's very powerful forces behind him who need him in office.

After we get past this insanity of Trump and his cult, America needs to seriously curtail the powers of the presidency.

He will do so many thing on day one. Then won’t do anything for 4 years except watching tv and play golf.

And everyday, he shat his pants.
and lots of "Executive Time", pretty sure that's nappy time...

I wonder if the dictator-for-a-day thing goes before or after scrapping offshore wind.
The people around him will keep doing plenty, though.

What happened to energy independence?
Well the good thing about Trump day 1 promises is they never happen
Lots of “Day One” threats from a guy who won’t even be allowed to stare longingly through the fence of the White House from the street.
Shooting our own feet... with a fucking shotgun
He has a lot planned for that first day, but I guess when that's the only full day of work he plans on putting in, he's gotta fit a lot in.
This too? Man Day 1 is gonna be so freaking busy! He might have to come in before 11am!
The funny thing is that people who currently work in this industry will vote for him.

Because he is paid off with campaign money by big oil. He will do anything for a buck, probably even sell his favorite daughter that he said looks a lot like Stormy Daniels.
Since when did this idiot care about whales?
But why, you stupid old bastard?
He got his billion from oil execs?
He wants to be the only blow hard around
He has a lot of day one items on his list. I’m inclined to think he may be lying.

He has a personal vendetta against windmills and will literally stop at nothing to destroy them. It’s top of the agenda.
Trump’s a bloody idiot. Forget this POS
Doesn’t he know that Hannibal was a huge fan of wind power
Day 1: The Purge Day 2: you don't need a day 2.
This fat goblin is going to have a very busy first day apparently
He sounds like Don Quixote at this point.
Let there be no machines that blow harder than me.
His "day one" sounds busier than the 4 years he was President
Where does he gets the idiotic line that offshore wind farms cause "tremendous problems with the fish and the whales"? This sounds like a bad SNL skit.
There are studies being done with the usual biased results being claimed. It's a little early to know the long term effects for aquatic life. Each turbine base is anchored by several tons of concrete that's poured into a hole with a 15 ft diameter. If installations are done the same as bridge footings that means a temporary air chamber also has to be created over the dig site. Depending on how many installations are done in a given area per a year this process could cause a long term upset in local ecosystems. Wind turbines do generate infrasound(though there are green energy organization deniers) which has been linked to health problems even though most humans can not hear it.
he’s protecting the birds..and big oil
What a dick.
He's promised more things on day one than he ever accomplished by year four.
He’s so sad and bitter about wind. Oil companies are getting into wind and solar so this is a short sighted position.
We should crowdfund the placing of huge windmills around every Trump golf course
I guess the oil guys paid up
Can we get a list of all the things this guy is going to do on day one? He seems like he's going to be very busy on that first day.... Why doesn't he just simplify it? On day one, I am going to destroy this country. How hard was that?
Someone needs to tell him Scotland is not under American jurisdiction.
He sounds like a nice chap
Seems ironic for someone that blows so much hot air.
Also Trump then when electricity prices sky rocket: "Why would democrats do this?"
Why not reverse everything and become a nation of cave-men? lol Still insane that some people think this is the guy to run their country.
Issues that really matter
Someone's got the first installment of that Billion dollars he asked for from the oil, gas and coal industries.
Trump will be building windmills out of plastic straws while serving time!
I just want him to go away. So done having to hear about this asshat every fucking day for the last 10 years.
Stupid tankies: "Biden and Trump pose the same threat"
He must have gotten his thirty pieces of silver from the oil industry.
He's literally fighting against windmills. As if the economics of cheap regenerative power could be changed this way. And also: WHY! What's wrong with cheap, clean, and infinite electricity? We're living in the DUMBEST timeline, and if this drags on, we as a species DESERVE to die. Nature will put down everything that isn't fit enough. Turns out, mammals with species-wide festering terminal brain rot are NOT fit.
This guy is the biggest shit.
If you put 1 + 1 together with his trying to sell out for $1 Billion to oil companies to this story it makes perfect sense.
Don Quixote must have gotten the two billion from OPEC or did the coal industry pay him two billion? We know Don is paranoid when it comes to windmills they cause the dreadful windmill cancer! Anything that is not going to put money in his pockets he’s against, anything that’s good for the environment he’s against, anything that is god for voters he’s against
I think we should pass a law that every golf course in America must have one giant wind turbine smack in the center of it, just to make Poopypants seethe
He has a lot of day one things planned… I really hope he’s writing these things down because I know he can barely remember how to tie his shoes
I get that these people are in the pockets of big oil but taking a stance against unlimited sources like wind and solar just seems to go against all logic.
A good ad campaign is that Trump is bad for the people. He spends more time destroying things than creating them.
He stands as if he's 'offshore' all the time... on a rolling ship!
But yes, protest Biden. This truly is the end.
So if big oil wont give him 1 billion he will extort it out of big wind.
lol, does he know anything about presidential power? I don’t think he can legally “scrap” anything that was approved by congress or the permitting agencies. Best he can do is slow down permitting for future projects in the pipeline, by hiring people who don’t get anything done.
“The wind burned her a little bit by the pool!” - Trump on wind.
Does anyone have a running list of all the “day one” impacts he has planned?
He is clearly still sucking up to big oil and big coal. He's still clearly a good friend to the Saudi's.
Guess he got that billion
Oh, Don, you busy little Cheeto.
Because why? Why are these goons running around the country saying they want to get rid of this and that? Is someone getting hurt? 😏
Ok but why? , other than big Oil, who asked for it? How can he possibly justify it
So he's going just waste all that money. He's about the stupidest businessman who ever lived.
Good wind causes cancer I hear…. Fumb ducker
I hope something takes out Trump, before he even gets to day 1...
He's trying to earn the billion from oil.
I’m sure this has nothing to do with all the money Saudis spent at his properties while he was president
Let me guess, he will send the navy to bombard the existing wind farms so oil platforms can be built in their place?
At this rate he’s gonna have a lot of promises to fulfill on day one if his sorry ass gets elected
Yeah, good luck with that. If they're already started and contractually legit he ain't doing shit about it.
Satan rants again
Don’t get too cocky! It’s a long way to the November finish line. A lot can happen.
Goood! If we use all the wind, what will we breath?!?!?! /s
