      So not only are we being forced to stay in the dark ages, we’re going to pay big bucks to get to stay in the dark ages…

      A wind project plan *for the US*. Phew, I was really worried about France for a second there.

      If France clever, take the money then start wind farm projects under a new name, win win.

      Money to let the US continue to eat itself. Sounds like a win for the French.

      At some point, you have to really ask yourself, „is the US government actively trying to fuck you over as a citizen that isn’t in the top 1%?“

      This is with the company whose CEO died in mysterious circumstances coming out of Moscow right?

      Ironically trumps war on Iran could be the best news for renewables world wide.

      As the price of oil rises and possibly even becomes unavailable its going to light a fire under the renewables potential. Wind is generally cheaper than oil but when oil is 200+ a barrel or not available the alternative will be massive renewables.

      edit: spelling

      Can they pay me a billion dollars to not do a wind energy project?

      Actually it’s to compensate for a project the USA would be successfully sued for breach of contract.

      And the US Government Justice Department has no available resources because they are all busy shielding Trump for being an Epstein co-conspirator.

      This is burning $1 billion. Just gone. For what? Ego. That’s it. How does this help the US? It/he doesn’t.

      imagine explaining to a taxpayer that their money went to a french company for the privilege of not getting cheaper energy

      Man, how crazy! In 3 short years we’ll be paying double to start this back up. 

      If this is a company you can invest in, I’d recommend buying some stock.

      AI will make electricity even more expensive. The more renewables the better. We need that piece of shit out of office yesterday.

      Tip to the company: take the money and do it anyway. (Edit: if you’re feeling generous you can stick some in a Swiss bank account to gather interest till we’re back on our feet in 2075).

      It’s not his money so he gives zero fucks how he blows it. We’re the losers working our asses off to fund this madness.

      It will not kill the project. It will only delay it. Reality will return when grandpa is out of office.

      This shit is absolutely fucking insane, man. We are being absolutely destroyed by a traitorous dictatorship from the inside out… and half the country would want to fight me if I said that to their face. We are so fucked. I know it sucks but I hope the straight stays closed for a god damn decade and every republican and their tonka truck can sit in their two car garage driveway and cry while they melt under global warming.

    36. Zaethiel on

      Isnt this project almost done and paid for? Hes just throwing away hundreds of billions dollars bc he doesn’t like the way windturbines look. What a moron.

    37. KickBack-Relax on

      Wanted to say the fossil fuel lobby is working overtime, but are they really?

    38. Beneficial-Local4686 on

      Are we being fucking serious right now. These goddamn idiots running our government are going to get all of us killed

    39. warrant2k on
