Climate/renewables arguments aside, this is the president's administration paying a foreign company to invest in states where Republicans are in charge rather than ones where Democrats are in charge -- using tax dollars to punish people who didn't vote for his party.

Won't happen. The French are no fools. They know that Trump always reneges on his debts.

Issuing permits for off-shore wind power is an executive branch function, so he has presumptive immunity for any crimes he may or may not commit that touch on that area.

It’s okay, we are now “insolvent” and can file for the international Chapter 11, right? That’s his game, right? 😱🤢

Which is a breach of contract so maybe don’t be quick to lose hope about green upgrades. They are needed. Someday maybe this will bear out in court. I hope so. Ridiculous that they accepted any amount of money.

Waiting for the @xrglobal.bsky.social people to show up and do something. Right? Time to show the world you stand for something more than throwing paint at works of art.

I don’t know the real reason for this, there’s a lot of takes and mine is he still just hates those damn windmills. Sometimes the most emotional reasons are correct.

I live in NC. So the president is going to use tax money to ensure that my energy prices will be higher. Thanks, Trump. As someone said recently you’re f…king piece of sh.t.

Are people in what's left of the MSM even aware that he is insane? I mean, are they having to sit down every day and remind themselves to edit even implicit acknowledgment of his insanity from their coverage as if it isn't newsworthy or do they all just see five lights now?

Yes, and everyone knew that the first time, but they cannot quit him. They enthusiastically voted for him again and handed him the Congress, Senate, WH, the EC, the Popular Vote AND he already owns the SC. It is what murica voted for, it's how democracy works. They will vote for him again in 2028

Not sure this is in the top ten of weird/corrupt things going on here. The OCS doesn't belong to any state, and there's no real public benefit to hosting an LNG facility, in fact most communities oppose them. And North Carolina is not a Dem stronghold that Trump wants to target for punishment

Not to mention they have opposed ALL renewable development, regardless of location.

I think this is pretty clearly just a case of "renewables bad, fossil fuel good, libs triggered," reasoning. Nothing more
