This is beyond stupidity.
China will be decades ahead in energy with these moronic decisions and eventually that’s also proportional to AI scalability.

Is this the fine US is paying to UAE for fucking up in the middle east
Shoot... I would have not built a wind farm for only a million!
Pay them 1 billion, they pay someone else 900 million to do it instead. +100 million profits
I have an idea... Take the money... And then do it anyway. That's what he did countless times in his life
WHY IS THIS LEGAL?!
Paying not to build something feels like the most expensive way to do nothing.
European here, I am fine with that.
He really is still salty Scotland built some and spoiled the view off his golf course.
From the guy that promised to lower the price of everything.
For himself.
Again the ever quixotic Don tilts at windmills! Onward, Rocinante!
Live your myth in USA! USA! USA! USA! Let's go Trump! Trump! Mid terms!!
Phew! Good! This WAR has Taught me the LAST thing I want my Tax Dollars going towards is Energy that our Enemies DONT Control!
-Republicans!
Bold of you to assume they don't see France as an enemy.
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.
The petrodollar was slowly dying already and the iran war is the final nail in the coffin
I agree.
Oil's being openly sold in yuan now and america can't do anything about it
where???
One of the reasons the petroyuan was created was that Russia, Venezuela and Iran may be able to avoid the United States' sanctions, so nations such as Saudi Arabia, one of the main oil producers and extractors could avoid dollar hegemony and U.S. pressure. The yuan's main problems are its volatile liquidity and short scale extension, however the Chinese government intervened increasing its gold reserves to back the petroyuan.
Lower? Bitch if we stop being a world power our standard of living will probably get higher. We can stop wasting all our resources on the military and propping up stupid shit and actually get some fucking healthcare.
I disagree with this, our standard is living is only possible because we "tax" the world though money printing. When other countries stop using the dollar we will no long be able to run on debt. A lot of things we pay for will shutdown.
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?
And then build it anyways.
Well yea, that's what we need the billion for.
wait that's it you're a genius. Al controlled wind farm. we'll use Al to turn the farm to face the right direction so it gets the most out of the wind (al is a loose hing at the top of the windmill don't tell anyone. or it's AL. i dunno)
I feel like in that case laws would suddenly exist for billionaires again, for just that case. "You defrauded the government!!"
. . . Hookers and Blackjack?
Count me in
Screams old, pedophilic con man.
Wait, was Tony a pedo?
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.

STOP GIVING AWAY OUR MONEY, FUCKO
Stop paying taxes, fucking mark.
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?
Yes. Obey in advance. Work towards the fuhrer. Snitch on any brown neighbors to ice even if you were in the room when they were born. Post exterminationist anti-queer propaganda on twitter. Offer the cops who polive you free donuts and coffee. Invent a new fascist political tendency. Be the vanguard of every lynch mob. Join the kkk. Start an apocalyptic christian sect. Beat your wife. Enlist in ice.
Do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe!
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. 💋
Hey I'm not going to build windmills either, where the fuck is my check?
Won't anyone think about the oil?
Also, won't anyone think about the fact that Trump literally makes energy policy based on the fact that he thinks wind turbines are ugly?
Take the money and use it to fund renewables anyways. Trump loves breaching terms of contracts, I'm sure he'd be cool with it.
They are not really getting paid, they are getting the money back they paid for windfarm permits and in exchange they have to invest the money in oil and gas in the US.
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
Is this notheonion?
