Can you please mention that it is stupid and illegal?

What kind of Americans celebrate such short sighted intentional harm to our future in tie face of the harsh impact of global climate change? Destroy Mother Earth to own the libs?

USA, your future is not bright.

This will not only bankrupt us but also our future. This regime is dumb. With a b.

The Trump Administration isn’t paying. Taxpayers are paying.

will use 129 million in taxpayer dollars to shut down already planned and paid for electrical power generation

Infuriating how this administration is using my tax dollars.

SOOOOOOO STUPID

Drill baby drill will turn out to be Kill baby kill. Stupid, ignorant, greedy fuckwits killing our planet and everything on it.

If they are getting paid a ridiculous amount to not continue or work, they are making the smart choice for business. They know theyll just build it once Trump is out anyways

A nation run by clowns.

Hey, real quick, where did the Trump administration get that money?

Eho the fuck writes these posts??? A Trump family member??

They hate everything that is good. Pure evil.

What folks seem to be missing is what a sweet deal this is for Duke Energy (all the companies he is paying to stop). When the next administration comes into office these companies will be paid again to restart all these projects.

In fact, I'm willing to not build a wind farm anywhere in the world for 50 bucks. DM me.

Smart. Since when has North Carolina wind contributed anything to the world?

"The Trump administration on Monday said it would pay…" IT would pay? WE are paying! That's our $129 million!

Does Trump have the power of the purse? I thought that was solely Congress’ purview…🙄🙄🙄

Fuck you

There are no rules anymore. SCOTUS has seen to it.

So fucking depressing and wasteful.

The Know Knothing Party of the 1800s pales in comparison to Trump/MAGA.

it is - he can't pay anything - WE are paying for it because GOP are terrified of a man who falls asleep when they speak.

Hold up, WHO's paying?

More numbers: 1-800-777-9898, 1-704-594-6200

What the fuck are we doing? Make the coal industry pay this shit, if someone needs to be paid off. Not the US taxpayers! And stop fucking with the free market you claim to love so much!

PLEASE FUCK OFF AND EXPIRE

This is SO stupid

is anyone suing to stop this??

Correction: The Trump administration said *we* would pay them [off, to reward his donors in the world-killing fossil fuel industry.]

I would not build an offshore wind farm off the shore of North Carolina for a mere $100 million—and let me tell you, compared to these other deals the president has made, that's a bargain!

What fund/budget is being used to pay people *not* to produce energy?

✅ Normalization framing ✅ Zero economic analysis ✅ Zero energy systems analysis Journalism, NYT style.

"Striking a deal" with energy companies to keep energy prices high. If only you fucks could report it like this.

Wow, the "Trump administration said *it* would pay"? Where did it get the money? I didn't know administration's had money.

Poor taxpayers.

I'd say those petrodollars going into campaign coffers are the best ROI in existence. 🙄

No TAXPAYERS WOULD PAY The Trump administration doesn’t have independent money This is taxpayer subsidies to Duke Energy to NOT build a power plant

Money was appropriated by Congress for this purpose???

"It was the fourth such deal struck by the administration to get companies to forfeit their offshore wind leases." Phew. Thank god! Those nefarious offshore wind leases. The horror. THE HORROR! Where would we be w/o the One Deal Don.

Equivalent to just burning down power plants except that would be cheaper

that’s a lot of melaria coin

Lapdogs to power.

Stupid

Another sop to China. This man just can’t help but make us weaker. It’s gotta be intentional.

That’s idiotic

Doesn’t say much for Duke Energy and the others who took trump’s deal. It does scream, though, “corporate greed.”

I love paying for beneficial shit to not happen. I also invest in permanent exterior ice sculptures in Arizona.

Embarrassing to report it like this. “Trump would pay” no taxpayers will pay. “Deal?” No he’s making everything more expensive by blocking a normal project because he has a bizarre hatred of wind farms all because they affected the view of his golf course one time years ago

Yeah, cuz paying 129 million to a company to do nothing is government efficiency

and China dominates to energy market for generations

Insanity.

You deserve it, Americans. You elected him for office. Twice. Don't blame anyone else: be brave at least once in your lifetime.

These are not "deals", you fucking rubes.

#AmericaLast running to the back of the pack. #Philippines, #Pakistan, #Cuba, #India, #China just racing to embrace #renewables in the high cost fossil #energy market created by tRump wars while we, the American taxpayer, pay to abandon progress in the market segment.

Is there any chance big petro has undue influence with potus? And its not just this. Last two wars he started were good for big petro. And nobody else
