In his Substack, Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman discusses the mentally unstable Malignant Fascist's opposition to clean energy here in the U.S., while ironically his actions boost it abroad:
"Trump has so far committed $2.5 billion in taxpayer dollars to killing renewable energy projects. The administration has also tried to stop offshore wind farms already under development — moves that have been blocked by the courts — while the Pentagon has been refusing to grant routine permits for onshore wind projects.
Yes, $2.5 billion to destroy already-approved, cost-effective clean energy projects while Americans are suffering from soaring electricity prices thanks to data centers and high gasoline prices.
Yet here’s the irony: Donald Trump’s disastrous Iran war has delivered a huge boost for renewable energy around the world — except in the U.S.. Trump has so far done more to shift the global economy away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy than any other single individual in history.
Why do Trump and his gang hate green energy so much? The roots of their hatred range from the power of fossil fuel interests, to Trump’s petulant whine that wind turbines ruined the view from his Scottish golf course, to a general sense among right-wingers that clean energy threatens their masculinity." (our emphasis)
The ignorant MF, from withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, to boosting oil and coal production and use, to killing renewable energy projects, has made the U.S. more polluted and has created the conditions for severe impacts on the global environment, which may be irreversible. Bastard.
