File it under ‘F*ck You Trump’, for taking a $BILLION bribe from Big Oil, and selling out your country, for some more ‘filthy lucre’. May you rot in hell, for the damage you cause, to America and the world.
President Donald Trump is actively stopping offshore wind projects in the United States, just as the industry was poised to grow significantly, as it has in the rest of the world.
Offshore wind energy has the potential to deliver large amounts of clean energy along U.S. coastlines. Three offshore wind farms are open in the United States and three more have begun delivering power as they finish construction or final testing before fully opening.
There are more than 40 federal offshore wind leases. The Trump administration is buying some leases back, giving payouts to energy companies to walk away from offshore wind, and Trump has erected other roadblocks for the industry, while going all-in on fossil fuels.
His stance runs counter to most countries that are embracing using wind turbines at sea to help meet a growing demand for electricity cleanly. China, where Trump is attending a summit this week, is the global leader in offshore wind. Unlike burning oil, coal and natural gas, wind turbines produce electricity without warming the planet.
There are 19 countries and markets powered with ever growing offshore wind energy: China is the global leader, followed by the U.K. and Germany, in terms of the number and the capacity of the wind farms installed. Other places building offshore wind farms are the Netherlands, Taiwan, Denmark, Belgium, France, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, United States, Norway, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain.
BUT, in Boss Hogg’s America, wind and solar projects are being killed, while dirty, polluting coal plants are being brought back online, at the cost of BILLIONS.
Thanks again, you gullible, ignorant MAGA morons….
