Trump’s broadside against wind industry puts projects that could power millions of homes at risk. Some Northeast states don’t have viable alternatives to offshore wind, and the order could create grid reliability issues in the future, analysts say. Stifling US energy production is a mistake.

  2. Texas will be fucked. It is the largest producer of green energy and the citizens rely on it during the summer.

  3. The point is to create enough chaos so it crashes the world economy. Then the richest billionaires will open the gates to Praxis, and Prospera. Once you apply and you are approved, you will go on to be our Mechanical Turk for all eternity. The rest of you who did not make it past the application process will be turned into energy batteries to power AI.

  4. They could let a pipeline company build a gas pipeline through new York and have multiple gas power gen facilities in 3-4 years that would provide more reliable and affordable power than any of the wind facilities. O and they could build it close to load centers so that you don’t have an overhead electric line through the middle of cape cod.

  5. No more wind turbines, solar panels tariffed out of existence, and Canadian hydro power shut off. Luckily, oil will become practically free. Start building those oil-fired power plants!

    Cape Cod Canal Generating Plant can offer ideas.

  10. I don’t understand how people can be so stupid to imagine that facts might influence government policy. That’s pre-Trump thinking.

  11. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of green hydro powered electricity from Canada to import….. oh nevermind

  12. It is not a fucking mistake, it is by design – a willful middle finger to blue states.

  13. The oil lobby got their money’s worth for a fraction of their monthly profit.

  14. It is just bad policy to not encourage power generation no matter the sources when we are clearly heading towards an energy shortage crisis cliff with AI, EV’s and Bitcoin tipping us over the edge.

  15. President Luddite can’t stop progress. He can only gift our competitors a 4 year advantage.

  16. Don’t forget the idiots in south Jersey and OCMD fighting progress

  17. Most of the US population will find themselves close to the Canadian border

  18. Maybe he needs to look at how much wind power is powering that south Texas SpaceX facility.

  19. Don’t worry. Trump is pushing the oil energy revolution. He’s going to make America energetic again. What could go wrong?

  21. Trump is kneecapping the US – unfortunately at time when it desperately needs to build its new tech economy. The winner? China.

  22. Maybe the goal is to kill renewable projects and then blame renewables for the subsequent energy problems.

  23. They don’t care Trump won’t lose any sleep over it he won’t suffer any consequences like they all ways say this is going to hurt you more an me

  24. This will only be a hiccup in the transition. OEM’s, GE, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa will spend their $ the next few years working on development of larger and more efficient turbines. When a more reasonable leader gets in office in 2028 they will start installing this better hardware than the current market ready options. GE pulled out of 3 east coast projects in 2024 due to them pulling back on developing an 18MW turbine, now they have time to develop that turbine and guarantee the price per KWh specified in the original contracts.

  25. Which possible NE state is living in the 1800’s unable to get electricity???? What a load of garbage…
