Trump does not like the government scre**** the American People.

DOGE did their job and Trump is now looking under the rug.

Damn things kill the birds, the whales, and the fishes.

#12: "When he finally went to meet Mary Jo they started building the towers."

Oh no. Say it ain't so. I sure hope Mary Jo isn't in Hell too.

As President Trump insightfully said as he cleaned up
after Biden, “the days of stupidity are over in the USA.”

“Americans deserve energy that is affordable, reliable, and built to last — not experimental and expensive wind projects that are proven failures,” DOI deputy press secretary Aubrie Spady told the Daily Caller.

“In line with President Donald Trump’s Energy Dominance Agenda, Interior is putting an immediate stop to these costly failures to deliver a stronger energy future and lower costs for American families.”

Wind farms kill thousands if not millions of birds. The Audobon Society should give Trump an award.

Maybe Ted and Mary Jo met in Purgatory.

Then Saint Peter said: “Ted, you go to Hell”

“Mary Jo, you’ve already been there, you come with me.”

Amen

Next, some judge will forbid the government from axing this wind farm!

Quite a few years before anyone publicly knew about this project, the USCG Academy ship simulators was tasked with generating this near exact wind farm in the ocean. I was the chief engineer and an operator/trainer of the facility 1991-2024.

It took a long time and a lot of effort with the both the graphics and the physics.

The purpose was to then place disabled tankers, cruise liners, VLCCs and pleasure craft in the tower field. Actual best of the best coxswains and ship drivers in the 1st and 3rd CG districts for various USCG cutters and patrol boats used the simulators to simulate and evaluate rescue operations.

Regardless what process was tried, everyone ended up in the water, vessels slammed into the towers, sank, major oil spills... every time... various WX conditions. Lost cutters as the prize crews tried their best.

We surmised the wind farm project was not going to advance with these results being fed back to DC up the chain.

We all wanted to throw up when we much later read the project was approved and construction was to start.
