So many people will suffer because the far left thought attacking Democrats was the way to push the country left and the entire right thought attacking Democrats was the way to push the country right. Look who won.

It left a smaller group that supported Democrats and was willing to work towards a better world and now we have this.

💯 these people chose not to exercise their right to vote bc the Chinese spyware told them not to 😑 biggest idiots ever
in reply to Enoch

The far left's decision to make Democrats pay by not voting in the last election will be the textbook case for the effectiveness of AI-generated propaganda campaigns on social media. We need an updated version of Manufacturing Consent to account for the ways autocrats & oligarchs destroyed American democracy.

Thread: Consequences for individual wind parks

Trump temporarily halts leasing and permitting for wind energy projects

"Trump wants to increase drilling for oil and gas and has been hostile to renewable energy, particularly offshore wind."

"Of onshore wind projects, 99% are on private land, so they cannot be blocked by federal action," the Natural Resources Defense Council said.

"Wind is the largest U.S. source of renewable power and provides 10% of the nation's electricity."

"The president stopped building work on over 100,000 acres of clean energy infrastructure at the Lava Ridge Wind Project in Idaho via an executive order on Tuesday."

"The order withdraws the entire shelf for new or renewed offshore wind leasing, but does not affect either existing leases or leases in the continental shelf for oil and gas development."

“In New England, we’ve got about 6.5 gigawatts of #OffshoreWind energy that is already leased and already permitted, and which would be unaffected by anything in this order — at least for now,” Sinding Daly said.

The projects could face challenges in the future, however. Trump’s order instructs federal officials to review the “ecological, economic, and environmental necessity of terminating or amending any existing wind energy leases.” "

"A Virginia Beach wind farm already under construction will be spared the immediate effects of the order, said environmental experts and Dominion Energy officials.

Woll said the order’s language seemed to indicate a willingness to go after existing leases. However, she noted that talking was one thing, while “having the legal foundation to actually do it is another.” "

"President Donald Trump’s ban on new offshore wind leases won’t halt giant #WindFarms already planned off #California’s coast, but industry officials say the policy shift is a blow to a renewable energy industry still working to gain a foothold. "

"Atlantic Shores, a joint venture between Shell and France's EDF, reiterated its commitment to delivering #NewJersey's first #OffshoreWind project on Thursday, despite Shell's recent $1 billion write-off related to the venture.

The Atlantic Shores South wind project is expected to generate up to 2,800 megawatts of electricity, enough to power close to 1 million homes."

The headlines say it's a "win" for Trump; but the remaining partners seem determined to build.

"There are four sections of the Atlantic Ocean leased for offshore wind development off the #NorthCarolina coast, including two off of Kitty Hawk and two off of Brunswick County. With the Trump executive order, all four projects are seemingly paused, with would-be developers holding leases but unable to obtain the required permits until either the administration shifts its policy or there is a change in the White House."

"Wind and solar energy projects in #Wyoming are moving ahead with their projects, despite the recent chill from both federal and state lawmakers. Most of the projects are on private property, project managers say, which helps de-risk the projects."

#AtlanticShores shelved, after all.

"French energy giant EDF announced it has written down $940 million in the value of its stake in the Atlantic Shores #WindEnergy project off #NewJersey, after its erstwhile partner Shell pulled out of its $1 billion investment in January."

"During the Biden era, erecting turbines along the nation’s coasts symbolized greening the economy, easing the threat of climate change and creating a new generation of manufacturing jobs.

But now, unraveling the industry has come to represent Trump’s push for a rapid ramp-up of fossil fuels, including opening wide stretches of the shoreline to oil and gas drilling.

“There is no one in the world right now that is looking to do a wind project in the United States.”

SCOTUS is poised to address a pivotal question of tax policy and religious exemptions in a case involving Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB).

The organization, affiliated with the Catholic Church, argues it should be exempt from paying unemployment taxes because of its religious connection, despite providing social services that are fundamentally secular, such as job placement for individuals with disabilities and daily living assistance.
