Well that’s good news, at least.
And honestly, that was such a stupid fucking hill for him to want to die on - and he wants to die on a whole fucking lot of stupid hills.

If only he would have a heart attack on one of them
Soon, friend, soon.
What I fear is that... He is just a metastase of a much deeper problem.
Even if he dies, nothing will change unless we fucking change it.
Sadly there is a long line of trash lined up behind him.
We know. And yet: I'd take great peace from not having his demented rambles in my newsfeed every day, reminding me that this diapered buffoon is the leader of the U.S.
I don't care about the hill part. Get on with the dying already!
That's this universe we live in, the powers that be actively fighting progress, yet progress still is made. I'm grateful to those who progress technology and apply it to benefit humanity. The Drump administration just keeps losing.
As long as the progress is profitable.
Something that may be profitable to some may be costly to others. Like solar power is to coal companies.
They don’t care about us in those games they play.

They're not really fighting progress, they're just fighting whatever they don't own that's competing with what they do. Whether that's progress or convention doesn't matter to them. At some point if the other thing wins they switch tactics and start buying it.

And then Orange will claim they support wind energy when the energy cost drop.
The fuckin pedophile will claim to have helped invent wind energy and his entire base will cheer on in triumph. He'd go go on further to exclaim that democrats were secretly trying to pressure him into stopping it, that's why the push back at first but he prevailed and now the Earth is saved from evil Obama who tried to destroy it.

By then they technically will support wind energy because they'll have bought a big share of it. That's what this is always about - support what you own, fight what you don't own. If the other thing wins, buy the other thing.
There has never been a bigger windbag, so he may have a legitimate claim in there somewhere.
It truly was quixotic.
They didn't abandon it. They lie constantly. Why the fuck would we assume they have learned better? ... Meh, bad journalism.
My question is, why does it matter who in government supports what?
Let the people decide what to use or not themselves.
Personally, I love solar. If I could afford to buy a bunch of panels and batteries, I'd be generating my own electricity, and happily tell my power company to suck my dick.
Decentralization should not be so controversial!
My question is, why does it matter who in government supports what?
Because they were actively holding back required approvals for the wind farms to begin operations.

Because if you dont have some kind of regulation it ends up being about market forces, which has even less to do with the will of the people and more to do with what makes a very few people rich.
The main issue with government intervention isnt that "government bad", it's that those same few rich people have more influence on it than the will of the people. In a large part because those people would rather cede that power to them rather than make any kind of rational decision.
Its good that green energy is benefiting from market forces right now... but it's a fair weather friend, and as soon as something else is more likely to make some rich asshole more money, it will be tossed back in the junk heap to rot.

The government paid like $1B for wind farm developers to abandon projects.
Most of the time government slows things down, but the current administration actively fights against progress or shatter people want. wtf does he care about wind farms in New England enough to shut them down
I mean the alternatives are not all wine and roses. We pay among the highest electricity prices in the country and a big part of that is depending on wind farms that are already like a decade behind. Previous governments slowed them down, letting everyone be heard, but they didn’t actively oppose

Nor is decentralization controversial. And there can be a conversation about making sure it is not actively discouraged.
But economies of scale are real. Does that mean a single power plant for the entire US, continent, world is a good idea? Of course not. Nor is 8.3 billion* individual installations.

No amount of weak old man outrage can put that genie back in the bottle.
Nah, just shifting gears. The old fight was to stop it, the new fight will be to own it.
That's been the oil company's strategy constantly. Repress the technology as king as they can until it's inevitable, and then all of a sudden their green and eco friendly
