"Instead, TotalEnergies will now spend the money on the development of a new liquified natural gas plant in Texas that will help export US LNG overseas to Europe,". So, not only paying them to not produce energy for US consumers but also send energy out of the US.

In all fairness, and I am no Trump fan, the company paid $1 billion to payback a company that paid that much for the Windmill rights. But this is just Trump's irrational nut case dislike of windmills be/c they are an eyesore (to him).

For context energy data noting roughly 80% US economy based nonrenewable fossil fuels coal, natural gas, oil .. noting once exhausted gone forever Pumping oil faster last shorter We don’t ‘produce’ oil we ‘pump it out of the ground’ where it sat for tens of millions of years

The 🍊🤡 is driving the countries debt through the roof. Unlike what he did with many of his companies, we won't be able to claim bankruptcy. Us taxpayers will have to bail ourselves out while he's in Florida counting all the $$$ he got in bribes, grift and otherwise while in office.

This man is out of his fucking mind. Why in God's name would the United States of America pay some French company $1 billion for 2 off-shore leases? One billion dollars. In exchange for them to - what? destroy parts of Texas for gas and oil? WHAT?! O N E B I L L I O N. My money. And yours.

The Naked Emperor is such a petulant, pathetic toddler. The only reason he throws a tantrum about wind turbines is because he thinks they have ruined the view from his golf course in Scotland. I think they make the view more majestic, modern, and impressive!

This is so incredible it's beyond parody. Can you imagine what Republicans would do if Joe Biden or Obama paid Total $1 Billion taxpayer money to INSTALL wind farms in the US? Now tell me how this is different and use small words that Republicans understand. bsky.app/profile/cnn....
