>> And the #French should #tax that energy company on its $1 billion windfall (I think it's a French company). Let's say a $1 billion one-off tax.

A #windfallTax on a #windEnergy company, forcing it to disgorge its ill-gotten gains would be poetic justice, #France

>> #European leaders should announce a national #mobilisation effort to build distributed #renewables - incl European production of #solar panels. Build on gov and military sites. Subsidise homes.

👍

Meanwhile, a European #WindEnergy company has decided to take a billion dollars of #US money from #Trump and run with it.

Unrestrained #greed ALWAYS gets the better of #laissezFaire. That's why good #government intervention is necessary in #capitalism.

🔥💨 A groundbreaking revelation: the UK has once again cracked the code of "more wind, more power" 🌬️. In this gripping saga of spinning blades, the National Energy System Operator stuns us with data that, shockingly, implies that wind turbines generate... wind energy. Who would've guessed? 🙄
