Trump administration will pay a French company $1 billion in taxpayer funds to not build wind farms

The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US.

@C_Miller First I thought this hast to be fake news.. but it seems it really was true. So this was apparently quite a nice deal for #EnergyTotal as they made the lease contract and got a good quick payback from it without any risk on investments or anything.

@huopa
Exactly:
- TotalEnergies make a ton of money risk free. 💶
- Trump can claim "America First" by supporting US fossil fuels instead of Chinese turbines. 🇺🇸
So all parties happy there.😁

Yet:
- The world burns. 🔥
- US consumers pay much more. 😢

More tricks than circus clowns 🤡

Let's hope that they get "found out" by the US voter sooner rather than later.
