In a blatant payback to Big Oil, for their $1BILLION campaign bribe, the Trumpies canceled not one, or two, but FOUR large renewable energy wind farms, already OK’d by Congress, with some of them nearly complete, costing thousands of jobs, while giving BILLIONS to Big Oil.
Sweeping aside more than a decade of diligent legislative and administrative efforts by coastal states to establish offshore wind markets, the Department of the Interior (DOI), through closed-door negotiations, canceled the leases for four large wind farms this spring. The Trump administration agreed to reimburse the developers billions in taxpayer money and represented the deals as reinvestments in fossil fuels.
The wind buyouts were negotiated strictly between the DOI and the wind developers; the states and Congress were not consulted. And the settlement specifies that the payouts are to be funded from the Treasury's Judgment Fund, a fund used to settle lawsuits brought against the government.
Never has a corruption on such a large level been so openly dispensed, BUT, we have become immune, with an administration that sells pardons, superhero cards and our nation’s future, without qualms or guardrails.
