3D Chess, eh?And it's not like you need alternative energy sources at the moment hmm?

>>531475998B-but wind power is intermittent!*Causes global oil shock*
>>531475998if the title says that ways, surely it is not exactly that way, and I should investigate. but why waste my time with fake and gay when I know I'm right?

>>531475998The US has its own oil and refineries. If there is a real crisis it can stop exporting.
>>531476096>>531476259>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 current administration has thrown up roadblocks at every turn for offshore wind projects; a type of energy that President Donald Trump has personally reviled for years. After trying and failing to block construction on more mature projects, this announcement is the first sign of a new strategy: The federal government is paying to stop wind farms before they begin.>Last year, the Trump Interior Department took the step of stopping the approval of federal permits for renewable energy projects, a move that effectively killed offshore wind projects in early development. Monday’s deal builds on that, by trying to ensure companies can’t continue building under a future administration friendlier to offshore wind.
>>531476349>a global drop in supply doesn't effect the local price
>>531476096>>531476276>>531476446>The government is paying back TotalEnergies for federal leases it purchased under the Biden administration to develop two offshore wind farms off the coasts of New York and North Carolina. The Justice Department will use nearly $1 billion in taxpayer funds to reimburse the company for money it spent to purchase leases under the Biden administration.
>>531475998A buddy of mine used to work at a turbine manufacturing plant. He was saying that they were putting together blades and nacelles and blades for turbines that won't even be built until 2075 and 2080. Keep in mind that these components will likely be LONG obsolete and degraded by that time. Nevermind the fact that the company building them most likely won't even be around by that time.But since turbine companies were getting so much money from the government to build these stupid things, they were putting in orders for 50-60 years out, just to have these components sit around until then.Wind turbines are a government scam to help out their business partners just as much as the weapons contractors are for the military.
>>531476886A buddy of mine used to work on Little Saint James. The things he told me he saw 47 doing to toddlers would make your blood run cold.
>>531476662>trump cancelled the lease and gave them back the money they paid.Just as anons said its a nothing story.
>>531476446yes I wrote that is fake and gay not need to confirm it>The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion disgusting CNN framing. When a company wina procurement or buy leasing, and you top-down stop it, you have to pay them an agreed fee because meanwhile they started building.and we could stop here.>instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US.the agrement reached involves the company using that money to finance their LNG plants. so the government lost zero.>The current administration has thrown up roadblocks at every turn for offshore wind projects; a type of energy that President Donald Trump/ Last year, the Trump Interior Department took the step of stopping the approval of federal permits for renewable energy projects,good. he has been voted in for that
>>531475998>anything but nuclear
>>531476096This >>5314762081. Trump, like the emotionally fag that he is, personally hates turbines because of them disrupting his golf courses. That isn't a joke. 2. He personally gains immensely3. Oil and coal ae manly and cool. Wind and sun are gay and liberal.Communism is Capitalism!Spending is Saving!Corruption is Honesty!
>>531477901Wind turbines are inefficient eyesore
>>531476886this is bullshit1) no business plans that far ahead, hell they dont even think 5 years in the future2) it is known how to store things for long term preservation
>>531475998jewnited states is just pure evil
>>531476276They getting paid to do oil instead of windmemes
>>531477901>1. Trump, like the emotionally fag that he is, personally hates turbines because of them disrupting his golf courses. That isn't a joke.Ruled by a petulant ornery todler.>2. He personally gains immenselyYou'd be right if this was Dubya/Cheney but he's in real estate, not energy.His pals in energy do benefit.

>>531478057So is your mother.
>>531478057>inefficient>Together, those two projects could have generated more than 4 gigawatts of electricity for US households and businesses, according to developers.>[...]>US Interior Sec. Doug Burgum in a statement repeated prior claims that offshore wind is “one of the most expensive” forms of energy and is too unreliable because energy is only produced when the wind is blowing. While offshore wind is more expensive than other forms of renewable energy because of its unique supply chain constraints, wind has no fuel costs and states negotiate set power price agreements with developers that don’t fluctuate — unlike natural gas and oil.>[...]>But the move could worsen the growing electricity crunch in the US, as power-hungry data centers and home and vehicle electrification collide headlong into a lack of available power. That dynamic has sent prices spiking in mid-Atlantic states in particular.
