As President Trump tries to strangle wind projects in the US, nine European countries have signed a deal to build a vast offshore wind farm in the North Sea, the epicenter of the continent’s oil and gas industry
Honestly if he wasn’t such an all-round, existential threat to humanity, you’d almost have to be impressed with how far he has managed to get powered by pure spite.
I’m 99% sure trump is against wind because Scotland built some near his golf course
No. The far right and the fossil fuel industry have entered a deadly symbiosis. The far right wants to undo democracy. The fossil fuel industry wants to continue to make profits, even at the cost of millions of lives. Because climate change is a deadly risk to our civilization, they can’t do that in a democracy. And that’s why they did become allies to undo democracy, and why people like the Koch Brothers, Robert Mercer, UK’s Nigel Farage, and Steve Bannon do work together. Or why for example Germany’s AfD is working together with both Trump and Putin, or Austrian right-wing people were caught on videos discussing campaigns with Russians.
No, I don’t believe this had anything at all to do with trump’s personal hatred for wind. Why? Your argument makes sense, and that jackass is dumber than a pile of shit.
It’s not that simple. The US produces more oil than ever, other oil production is suffering (in Venezuela, Russia, Iran, other Middle Eastern countries). Trump wants the US to replace them despite not having enough and the right refinery capacity).
He just needs to finance a big ad campaign and most of Norway will be on board with almost anything. There are “traditions” here based on ad campaigns, it would be funny if it wouldn’t be so stupid

When is he going to sabotage Norway?
