From this article in The Independent:
The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.
Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.
Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.
Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.
He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.
Obviously, but can it be scientifically and accurately diagnosed by some guy with a JD degree? No. Good on Pritzker for backing off on this question.
We need to content ourselves with the obvious:
a) Trump’s entire adult life has been shaped around his criminal tendencies and his callous disregard for anyone but himself.
b) This selfishness should have disqualified him from any governmental position. As some astute person said recently, and I paraphrase, He would be fired immediately if he were hired to manage a Subway franchise, or as assistant mayor of some town in a remote part of Kansas.
c) At this point, he has begun to lose his ability to express himself in a clear and lucid manner.
We live in a country that has lost its soul — and its mind.
I’m not sure.
Minnesotans approve of Trump and Lindell right about where they place value on getting dog crap on their shoes.
Yes, the call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger could have been the end.
But what about his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6th? His 34 felony convictions? His adjudication as a rapist? His profiting billions of dollars from his office? His accepting bribes for pardoning his wealthy donors convicted of fraud or those who beat cops at the U.S. Capitol?
Most failed democracies didn’t have dozens of different opportunities to prevent their demise.
We have no one to blame but ourselves.
