SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇
Such a profoundly selfish view, such a vile way to live: it’s all ok that $ 4 CDC, NIH, healthcare, social security, Mcare, vets care, SNAP, Meals on Wheels, &so much more- it’s all ok if that gets cut but OH NO HOW COULD HE DO THAT TO *US*? WE VOTED FOR HIM! Now they’re upset. No sorrys to give.
Oh fucking well.
wow, that's actually crazy! So anyone see the new Superman movie, I heard it was pretty good.
I hate to see people out of work, but fuck them nonetheless.
“I mean, it’s totally shocking. We supported the guy when it benefited US. Hard to believe Donald Trump would betray someone!”
Lololol cry more, idiots.

Incredibly frustrating on a few levels. These guys aren’t babies, at least they don’t look like infants. They seem proud of their blue collar status, but still think the guy with golden toilets actually cares about them? the one who said, good I already got your votes & now idc 1/2
They’re stunned that the #feloninchief is & was already bought & paid 4by big coal &oil? Did he ever make any secret about that? Do they think he cares about marine pollution 2? They actually think he cares if locals pay less 4 energy bills? They must be overdue to rinse out and wash their diapers…
fuck these people in every way possible :-)
Maybe it's just a shakedown.
Maybe DJT wants something from Orsted and when he gets it, the project will be reauthorized to completion.

A lot of people are saying this. No confirmation yet.
It’s a Danish company. They are trying to put pressure on Denmark over Greenland.
Could be. Could be. Or something ... bsky.app/profile/fies...
Yeah a few experts I spoke to are paying attention to that connection. But it’s all conjecture at this point.
Following you to find out!

It was 100% predictable that Trump would stop wind power. He's more obsessed with windmills than Don Quixote
Well, and also the Saudis gave his favorite kid millions (billions?) of dollars to kill green energy.
If they voted for trump, they deserve to get their “reward”. The problem- we get effed too
Before voting Trump, they should have had a talk to the British fishermen voting for Brexit.
Maybe you're thinking, "Don't fishermen hate offshore wind?" Then you might want to pair today's story with a story I wrote in June about the New England fishermen who made peace with offshore wind: www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

lol oh well 😂
I work on tugboats that service the wind farms and a majority of the guys working there voted for Trump. I tried to tell them, but they didn’t believe he would do it. Companies here invested millions in real estate and equipment. You think Orstead will ever do a project in the US again?
It’s doubtful. Here is my reporting on Orsted long term prospects in the U.S.: www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...
I towed that barge from Orange Texas to New London 😢
They voted for Trump! Well hell, how ASTOUNDING.
