https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/trump-ban-on-wind-power-projects-overturned-by-federal-judge.htmlA federal judge on Monday struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping ban on new wind power projects in the U.S., a major victory for an industry that has been singled out by the White House since the administration’s first day.Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that Trump’s ban is “arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law,” tossing out the president’s action in its entirety.Trump issued a memorandum on Jan. 20 halting permits and leases for offshore and onshore wind farms, pending federal review. Saris said that federal agencies had failed to provide a reasoned explanation for such a drastic change in U.S. policy.Seventeen states led by New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump in May to overturn the president’s ban. They argued it created “an existential threat to the wind industry.”
“This is a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis and protect one of our best sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy,” James said in a post Monday on social media platform X.States in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic in particular have been pursuing offshore wind projects to meet future energy demand as they seek to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement that “offshore wind projects were given unfair, preferential treatment while the rest of the energy industry was hindered by burdensome regulations.”
>>1463763Trump tried three times to stop Scotland having wind turbines near his golf course there. Three times they told Trump to go fuck himself.There's less than fuck all you can do to them, and now you can't even tilt at windmills in your own country, Donkey Hotay. You suck at everything you do.>OP picThat equine's name: 'Bubba', we presume.
>>1463763Gotta love how he's pushing AI hard, which needs a lot of power, while simultaneously cutting programs that could generate that power. Because they're woke or something you see.
>>1463763>Can't build a wall because birds and shit'll die.>Can build bird blenders thoWTF?
>>1463842>But guys what about my bullshit big oil talking point?

>>1463857Uh, sure. The half million dead birds worked on oil rigs.
>>1463875Power lines kill 25 million birds. Should we get rid of those, too? What about cats? They kill 2.5 billion birds every year.
>>1463879Yes, I hate cats. Cats are the jewish faggots of the animal kingdom.And no one needs electricity.
>>1463879>Power lines kill 25 million birds. Should we get rid of those, too?Yes, actually, but not because of birds, but because underground lines require less maintenance and are far less likely to cause fires and can't fall and obstruct roads.The only reason we don't use underground lines is the greater upfront cost. Government loves spending more money over a greater period of time rather than paying larger upfront costs.
>>1463879>What about cats? They kill 2.5 billion birds every year.Yes, having an outdoor cat should be illegal.

>>1463971>impracticalYes, we need more large birds of prey. That brings us full circle, wind turbines are saving the cats from birds of prey.
