"As a fuel crisis triggered by the war in #Iran drives up global #fossilfuel prices, the #Trump administration has announced it will pay #French #energy major #TotalEnergies $1bn to kill plans to construct #windfarms off the US east coast." This is utterly INSANE, @MichaelEMann, @ZLabe, @RARohde, @rahmstorf, @davidho, @GeraldKutney.

It's even more shameful that Total Energies took the money. The #TrumpRegime can be stopped but it requires individuals and businesses to grow a backbone and stand up to him.

@riggbeck @MichaelEMann @ZLabe @RARohde @rahmstorf @davidho @GeraldKutney #TotalEnergies is basically a #fossilfuel company, & I'm quite sure they wouldn't mind making money out of the #American #taxpayer in the least, nor will they be in any way averse to exploiting Donald Trump's extraordinary allergy to any form of #renewableenergy. Their agreeing to the contract is an exercise in cynicism.
