"Hey I know you spent a fuck ton of money for free energy but instead, just abandon it."

He apparently has some issue with them 'destroying' the view at that golf course in Scotland, saying they're ugly and they should be removed. This is just a continuation of that quest for his idea of vanity

If you wanna remove something that destroys ecosystems, remove golf courses. They’re massive, take tons of pesticides for a shitty monoculture, and usually innaccessible except to a couple rich cunts.

Real republican of him. Just throwing cash away and killing jobs. Hope that crew and the contractors were a bunch of red hats.

Orsted Must have forgotten the gold plated plaque (it was a sufficient bribe for Apple) and award presentation. They can even call it the “No Bell Prize” and he might not know the difference. I’m sure taco can’t distinguish one Scandinavian country from another.

I suppose there’s the more outright bribe of buying meme coin but they’re headquartered in a country that robably still has laws against that

My guess is one of the rich fucks by coast who are constantly trying to kill this are ultimately behind it.

Guess it just doesn't pollute enough or enrich his corporate supporters.

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!
