like who cares? let USA die if they want, not a problem for the rest of the world. When you start a war, don't expect others to help you.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 minutes ago

Climate change is everyone's problem.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 44 minutes ago

It's a problem for Canada lmao

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

what a windy jerk.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

What a windy jerk.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 24 points 8 hours ago

The Interior Department hailed the “innovative agreement” with the French energy giant and said, “the American people will no longer pay for ideological subsidies that benefited only the unreliable and costly offshore wind industry.″

I want these ghouls to not be alive anymore man

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 32 points 16 hours ago

I would like to throw my hat in the ring and say that I will not build a wind farm for a mere $500M

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 38 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

it's about the offshore view from his golf course. self-serving scumbag. needs oil platforms

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 hours ago

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.

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

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

Easiest question to shut them up: "Would you rather live next to a wind turbine, or an oil refinery?"

[–] poop@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

coming from the same people that wouldn't hesitate to sell yosemite to a megacorp.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 4 points 2 hours ago

Yes.

Primarily, too much fear response. Fear makes you stupid.

Secondarily, too much in-group loyalty. They'll do and believe anything if that's what the group believes.

[–] DetectiveNo64@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Many things wrong with them.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] Lagviper@lemmy.zip 50 points 1 day ago (5 children)

This is beyond stupidity.

China will be decades ahead in energy with these moronic decisions and eventually that’s also proportional to AI scalability.

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

I never realised how tiny Winnie the Pooh's hands are until now.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

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.

He heard it called a wind farm and thinks they produce wind there.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have an idea... Take the money... And then do it anyway. That's what he did countless times in his life

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 3 hours ago

Ahh so then they should pull their pants down (and their underwear) and say 'do me like you did Bill Clinton and then we'll talk!'

[–] xia@lemmy.ca 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Shoot... I would have not built a wind farm for only a million!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

Hey, if we all club together we could get through the first few stages of getting our own windfarm approved and then Trump could pay us a billion to cancel and we all walk away with a share.

Who's in?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 61 points 1 day ago (7 children)

And then build it anyways.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 34 minutes ago

You take the billion bucks, fold the company, start a new company, and build more windmills!

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Bring the money to Canada and build it here!

Again the ever quixotic Don tilts at windmills! Onward, Rocinante!

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 34 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Jaimesmith@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Paying not to build something feels like the most expensive way to do nothing.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

It's to build fossil fuel plants instead.

[–] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 6 points 19 hours ago

Tell that to American farmers who are paid to not farm

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 61 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Screams old, pedophilic con man.
