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.
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.
Just to be clear, this money was already spent by the previous administration on federal leases that were going to be used to build these offshore farms. The government will now be reimbursing the company the money it spent on those leases. Not quite just paying the company to not do something like the headline makes it seem. But that’s now $1 billion that could certainly be put to better use elsewhere that will be wasted paying this company back.
It’s also embarrassingly short sided for a myriad of reasons but that doesn’t matter anymore. We’re great again!
Hey, if we all club together we could get through the first few stages of getting our own windfarm approved and then Trump could pay us a billion to cancel and we all walk away with a share.
Who’s in?
Yeah, cause drawing a giant federal target on my back during the most oppressive, likely-to-murder-Americans regime in our history is a good idea.
Got any other Shark Tank worthy gems for us?
Not inviting the IRS to audit my family is part of why I have the upper class luxury of being able to skip work to go protest.
Yell at the system, not me.
The freedom to beg them to stop is absolutely worth paying the salary and buying the gun and buying the bullet that will fucking kill me.
Thank you comrade. Thank you for your solidarity. A few more like you and the worlds ptoblems will be fixed. How can they not listen to your voice when you obey so completely?
Love you too, sexy.
The day eople like you accept the fact that the umbrella of antifascism covers everyone who hates fascists, not just everyone who thinks, fights, and advocates like you will be a good day.
Until then, have the one you deserve. 💋
Phew! Good! This WAR has Taught me the LAST thing I want my Tax Dollars going towards is Energy that our Enemies DONT Control!

Usas economy relies on other countries use of oil.
USA is going to collapse once the world wakes up to fact it’s played out like a Mafia neighborhood.
They rely on other countries using the Petrodollar, not buying oil. Once other countries move to another currency America will go bankrupt, and that isn’t speculation, it’s very much reality. America is doing everything to stop this.
It won’t work though, the talk have already started happening. Americans better get used to the a lower standard is living because it’s going to be impossible to increase moving standards under the current debt.
Now the French will learn that Trump never pays his bills, the check is in the mail so to speak
Oh, it’s not his money? I got nothing
If you pay american taxes you are guilty.
Dont ruin literally everything. Tell irs to fuck itself.
