Trump administration to pay $765M to cancel four offshore wind projects

Scott39

How can they call themselves conservatives. Arsonists is a better word.

Middlerage37

Why? Because Trump hates them? It’s totally insane.

Rabbi Jill Zimmerman31

For what reason??? He doesn’t believed in wind?

Dona Dickinson25

So stupid. Wind is cheaper than gas or coal, so our power bills will be higher. And we’ll have more air pollution. And we’ll fall behind China in renewable technologies. Our #LoserTrump is making us all losers, too.

Bumbles Bounce16

This makes sense because wind is one of Trump's archenemies. Next, he'll be paying the Weather Channel billions to stop making it rain.

richardhartley.bsky.social16

Trump is the enemy within.

Lady Ligeia13

I want wind power! I am beyond enraged at this, ocean floor sensors being removed. Can we file a lawsuit?????

jackiefromtexas13

Why can't this stupid president do what We, The People want just once.

Charlie Griefer13

I would've not built wind farms for half of that.

SusanKelly188

The US will look back on this in a few years, clear-sighted, and realize it is one of the craziest things a Government has ever done.

Michelle likes democracy.7

he basically just perseverates against everything good not sure the Kremlinbot is programmed for anything else

🍁Justin Case7

All of this insanity because Scotland Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm built windmills near his golf course. The deluded dimwit has lied and cried about windmills ever since. 🤡 www.bbc.com/news/article...

This regime’ is all gas and no brakes with spending billions on everything that hurts taxpayers, while taxpayers are struggling to pay their bills and to eat.

Maga boys see wind and solar as culture genocide for their gasoline powered lives.

Trump doesn’t care. It isn’t his money. He loved spending ours. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-...

Spain’s electric bills are going down because of renewable energy. Not here.

The Green New Deal for grifters.

I wonder which oil company is driving this bus.

spff2627 - Gold Star Spouse3

The timing could not be worse - just when Iran found out for sure just how much power they have over petroleum markets. So tired of winning!

Chris Tyrell3

They support colonies of life in the Ocean too, just win win, wind.

feltongeorge.bsky.social3

We continue to let Trump execute his master plan: Destroy planet earth and all its inhabitants.

Frank Dugan2

This is straight-up sabotage of our nation's energy infrastructure.

MagicalMerlin2

He should pay it out of the money Oil companies are bribing him with, not taxpayers money!

Jim 🇨🇦2

This action is perfectly aligned with the regime's policy of catering to the rich at the expense of everyone else.

Hungary for Democracy2

I’m not building wind farms also. If I threaten to build them, can I get $765m?

EZTempo2

Donald got his dark money contributions and he made the Deal with the oil & coal companies over hors d'oeuvres at Mar A Lago!

When I build my house in the future, I'm going off-grid. Panels, inverters, wind turbines, whatever. Maybe a gas generator for backup. "Then I'll do it myself," said the little red hen...

Lucy Burns2

How, how, how is Congress not guarding our public purse!!! Bad policies, wasteful spending, America the debt nation. 3.9 trillion in debt and counting.

Lee in Vancouver 🇨🇦2

I mean I know that historically evolution is not a straight line and that we take steps backwards here and there. But this guts me. To see it in real time. 💔

Patricia2

There will be so much to reverse.

ravenalessia.bsky.social2

Easy for Trump to spend millions and billions of taxpayer money with everyone in his administration enabling him.

DavidP2

Wasting taxpayer $ to make sure we don’t have a future

Annemiek 🇺🇦 🇳🇱 🇮🇹 🇵🇸2

US must remain depended on fossil fuel. So you pay off renewables. How stupid can you become? bsky.app/profile/anne...

ThinkSensibly2

Our kids will fall way behind in schoo because of the federal cuts and we're giving away all this money. Such a joke.

Tim Murphy2

The utter ignorance and stupidity never ends with these idiots.

Avagraha2

The next DEM administration had better have a list (LONG list) of things they need to set right and get started in minute 1 of their tenure. But what do we do about the brainless electorate that insists on voting for the cretinous Rs? How do we fix STUPID? They keep f'ing up all the good done by D.

Hopeful Hater2

I always thought Bush Jr. was the dumbest president we ever had. Trump said, "hold my diet coke". He is Biff Tannen and Monty Burns rolled up into one fat, bloated orange skin suit. I hate this timeline.

Those are OUR projects -- paid by our tax dollars. That $765 million to cancel -- also OUR tax dollars. He's no good at anything but corruption and theft.

Alan Smithee25

they're not just generational "errors"; they're intentional acts of greed and spite and ignorance that are hastening the extinction of life on our planet Crimes Against Humanity

Mark Brandriss15

"The agreements with companies to forfeit their offshore leases are a new strategy and represent a highly unusual use of taxpayer dollars." Kind of like "sending a violent mob to attack Congress represents a highly unusual way to challenge an election result".

ThumbingMyWay.bsky.social7

Does this permanently ban those projects or any projects by the companies involved, forever? Because what's to stop these companies from saying sure, we'll take your hundreds of millions to "stop" now, but in three years we will crank it back up again under a new administration? Which makes the

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Domainophile7

Your government is using your money against you. Congratulations.

Chris 6

Where do I file to get paid for not putting windmills in my yard? I wasn't even aware this program existed. Hell yeah, Murica

MsCitro5

This should be against the law

Featheress5

2.5 billion dollars in total to get rid of clean, desperately-needed energy. It just hurts me, it really physically hurts me.

One citizen’s misfortune is one trillionaire’s windfall.

kavery123.bsky.social4

Hello Congress!!! Can’t you do anything? You can see he is a complete fool after the MOU with Iran, can’t you??

chitobandito.bsky.social4

Spending our $$ to handicap us in the global race to develop alternate energy sources? How does he have authority to do that? Lock him up!

Ernst Karel4

makes more sense when you think of it as sabotage @check1check2.bsky.social

Richard York3

One more example of the utter inanity of this regime.

I Have Questions3

This is insane. Stupid, wasteful, and so short-sighted

tsfishergirl2

Put trump in prison. Or a straight jacket.

Todosco Jones the liminal spaceman2

And it means demand for oil remains higher than it should be and this makes gasoline more expensive at the pump. 🤷

Friendly Neighborhood Murdercat2

Generational Murder-Suicide. People who can't stand that the Earth will continue when they're gone.

Congress has to act to stop taxpayer money from being clawed back or used in opposition to what money was originally allocated

Roisin 🌿4

When he built his tacky golf course in Scotland, he wanted to remove the wind turbines that could be seen from his land, but Scottish gov said NO!

Beacher3

So. Kind of like what they did to streetcars and trains all over the country. Kill them off so people will buy gas powered cars.

John Scott G3

America must remove the filth, bile, and pestilence of the GOP.

Mark2

Then let’s stop paying our taxes

Ruben Garcia2

All treaties and made up MOU of surrender must be Ratified by the US Senate! Trump is using the MOU of surrender with Iran to bypass Senate ratification! Get loud, Demand the Senate do its job! stop the MOU $100 Billion dollar Don the Con job! #IRAnWar #DonMOUCon #USDemocracy

codycoyote1959.bsky.social2

My question is, why are we allowing this to happen? Why do they get to decide?

sgrafstrom.bsky.social2

Make it so Number one!

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch2

I love the idea of holding the wind hostage. Like “gimme a hundred mil or I’ll turn this wind into electricity!”
