Fucking NYT, put it in real language “Trump administration to make taxpayers pay German Firm…”
Yeah they’re not gonna do that. The NYT is a myth. Something befucked citizens talk about amongst themselves to make themselves feel better. A magical time when ‘a free press’ was to ensure power was held to account, and the general public was informed.
Not no more. Not for a long while.
Even the few high points of the NYT, such as the Watergate coverage, were aberrations in an otherwise nearly uniform history of servility and deference to the ruling class.
And at the stupidest of times ever - as more and more energy is being sought out for things like data centers…
Conservatives are such fucking morons.
This is the dumbest shit ever. I hope they bungled a loophole into the deal and the firm will just come back next year and get new leases in different spots or something.
The plots have already been leased and demand for electricity is high enough. They probably will just kick these properties over to someone else while taking Trump’s free money.
But, in the meantime, you get development delays and energy price inflation.
Assuming the firm stays in wind power, then it’s basically a $1.2B subsidy for someone else’s wind power project. It’s not ideal, but it’s a silver lining.
No, it’s just next years C suite bonus.
They probably will just kick these properties over to someone else while taking
Trump’sour free money that trump no doubt stole hundreds of millions out of.
Couldn’t they rebrand and basically take Trump’s monopoly money to continue the project under a new name?
Like I said, loopholes. Paying someone to not do something under specific circumstances that could easily be done under different circumstances is a real smoothbrain move in any domain.
No. They no longer have the right to put turbines in the water there. Might be able to do it in state waters where California is talking about an offshore wind deployment.
So they’re paying to get nothing. Peak Trump, right there.
Well, Trump gets a fat bribe from US fossil fuel companies. That is all that matters to him. US citizens gets nothing, and they have to foot the bill for it all as well. Win-win for the oligarchs.
Don Pedxote hates windmills!?!?
The purpose of this is to feed those obscene oil-company profits by pumping up demand. Same goes for the Iran war.
Good! I LOVE being at the MERCY of Billionaire Oil Barrons!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!
But oil is manly. Green energy is perceived as feminine, possibly gay.
The conservatives don’t want to be perceived as female or gay. That’s what is really driving so much of this.
Coalie disagrees, even oil is a bit woke.
