The week the US president’s vendetta against renewables went global. Trump’s enduring hostility to wind power is no longer a personal quirk​, it’s now a policy direction with profound consequences. “This is the most pro-combustion administration since Nero.”

  1. “Make Anthracite Great Again”

    Greedy Luddite is sacrificing progress in all its forms for the financial benefit of the 1%.

    Isaac Asimov(20th century US writer/professor):

    * “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

  2. The helpful thing here is that the economics of renewables now are far more compelling for the rest of the world than their desire to placate trump

  3. He is just trying to save the world from the terrible Cancer that windmills cause…why is that a problem?

  5. This country is trying to prevent science and technology from moving forward and progress happening. Not to mention the implications for the climate. I find it absolutely INSANE that anyone with any concern for the cost of electricity or the potential increase in demand, and being able to meet it, to restrict offshore wind power and wind power in general. Let him be insane. But, this country’s voters simply are not staying knowledgeable concerning important matters and clearly electing the massive idiot in turn. He is pissing away this countries advantage in most economic, technological, and power areas at a blistering rate and it will be reflected eventually in decreased economic growth.

  6. To all those that think solar and wind is going to carry the grid and we need to get rid of fossil fuels do you have solar for your homes?
