On Friday, the Trump Administration shut down an almost-completed wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island on unspecified “national security” grounds. Why is their war on wind and sunpower getting more aggressive?
Replies
This is to protect the fossil fuel industry and the oligarchs who are heavily invested in it.

Because wind farms are stealing wind and solar power arrays are stealing sunlight. Trump’s sure of that.

Trump won't have to. He literally won't be around long enough for it to be a problem for him (& yes, it is a problem now). His supporters will carry on regardless. The Communist Party of China aren't hippies & its oligarchs aren't stupid. US oligarchs are stupid. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

The problem is (1) all of Trump's obviously bad actions take a while to have the expected negative effects and (2) the general public's short attention span prevents people from seeing the obvious cause-effect relationships.

1/2: The sad irony is that the fossil fuel industries were better positioned than almost anyone else to lead the charge in developing alternative fuels themselves, had they chosen to look forward instead of backward.

2/2: And then they could have monopolized and manipulated that market to bend us over and enrich themselves out of all proportion, just as they have with fossil fuels. But at least they'd be bending us over in a cleaner world.
