And then build it anyways.

Count me in

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.

Bold of you to assume they don't see France as an enemy.

Wait, was Tony a pedo?

This is simply treason.

The more America becomes the villain, the more it is causing other countries to realign to the Middle Kingdom.

China has the mandate of heaven

Will be?

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.

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

Just to be clear, this money was already spent by the previous administration on federal leases that were going to be used to build these offshore farms. The government will now be reimbursing the company the money it spent on those leases. Not quite just paying the company to not do something like the headline makes it seem. But that's now $1 billion that could certainly be put to better use elsewhere that will be wasted paying this company back.

It's also embarrassingly short sided for a myriad of reasons but that doesn't matter anymore. We're great again!

I can't imagine thinking wind turbines are ugly. There's something wrong with conservative brains

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.

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.

shit, I won't do it if they call it square on my medical bills.

I'm a cheap date.

Apparently, this has been going on for a while! https://archive.is/9BNsM

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.

Think theyll pay my company to not install the ~4M in solar we have lined up?

Also, won't anyone think about the fact that Trump literally makes energy policy based on the fact that he thinks wind turbines are ugly?

For himself.

You might be onto something. Isn't wind a pretty big annoyance for golfers ? And we're talking about the guy who watched a solar eclipse with his bare eyes here.

Tell that to American farmers who are paid to not farm

It's to build fossil fuel plants instead.

It's contingent on building fossil fuel plants.
