Such idiocy: “Ports around the country hoped to seize the economic opportunity to become hubs for the wind industry. Under the Biden administration, 12 port projects from California to Virginia were granted funds, all of which the Trump administration said on Friday it was either withdrawing or cancelling.” 🤬

The climate-denier-in-chief strikes again: “Reversing the shift toward renewable energy not only attacks attempts to address the crisis of climate change and boosts the fossil fuel industry on which some of Trump’s apparent allies depend, but also undermines a society based on the independence of American workers.”

Just days before Labor Day, a holiday designed to celebrate the importance and power of American workers in the United States, the Transportation Department cancelled $679 million in funding for offshore wind projects, and the Department of Energy announced it is withdrawing a $716 million loan guarantee to complete infrastructure for an offshore wind project in New Jersey.

Letters from an American

“Trump’s apparent preoccupation with bird protection is petty, self-serving, cynical, and hypocritical—all familiar characteristics for this president. ... And it’s all because he was powerless to stop a wind farm from going up near one of his tacky golf courses.”

Donald Trump Is a Bird Killer

He claims to care that wind turbines kill a (statistically insignificant) number of birds. But his administration’s policies are downright murderous toward our avian friends.

“Offshore wind leasing is effectively dead in the U.S. following a Trump administration order issued last week.

Large swaths of U.S. waters that had been identified by federal agencies as ideal for offshore wind are no longer eligible for such developments under an Interior Department statement released last Wednesday.” 🤬

Wir reden über Klimawandel – aber lassen die Fliegerei außen vor?
Kerosin-Jets durchpflügen täglich die Atmosphäre, hinterlassen feinste Rußpartikel, die wie eine Thermodecke wirken.
Ergebnis: Kaum noch Schnee. Und wenn, dann grau statt weiß.
In den Corona-Jahren: plötzlich wieder klarer Himmel, echter Winter.
Trump? Ignoriert das.
Weil Kerosin keine Fragen stellt. Und Fliegen Profit bringt.
