Maybe they need to ‘donate’ more?

The administration keeping in character. All of this for the same reasons they want people driving into work now instead of working from home. Paying for more gasoline.

If there was an approved contract, the administration will be sued. Trump has a few wins, but he mostly loses. Always push back.
I don’t know where Politco lies in the trustworthy / fakenews / propaganda scale, but it’s not paywalled.
TLDR: this is the Esmeralda 7 project in Nevada.

This administration has guaranteed this will be the Chinese century. There’s no undoing the damage Trump has done. The qualified people making these plans aren’t going to come back with the next administration because they know they’re one election away from their investments being undone. America made its choice. That choice was to become an irrelevant backwater over the next few decades.
Republicans are literally destroying America’s future.

meanwhile China is supplementing there power infrastructure with massive CHEAP solar energy …

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say the GOP obsession with “energy independence” was just a dog whistle for making the oil and coal industry happy.

I feel like we’ve had the technology for free energy for decades, but the capitalist rulers of the world keep it out of everyday civilian use.
It’s like because the world still has fossil fuels, we’re going to use it all up first, then convert to solar at the last second

Do we *really* believe any of these people know how solar farms work?

Cuz we gotta invade Venezuela for oil or something.

The republicans fighting so hard to destroy all forms of renewable energy are so old they will never have to live with the consequences

Attacking every sustainable energy source that almost democratizes access to clean, safe energy. Any shit on anything a democrat may like. Win-win!!! Fuck
These assholes and their ilk.

Now you know why the corrupt billionairs who could care less for the our planet’s future. If they could make a quick buck, while killing half the world population, they are pefectly fine supporting a fascist POS in the WH.

Good, we can finally get back to building more strip malls and lifeless condo neighborhoods in places that need water piped in from hundreds of miles away to sustain.

Don’t worry peasants, you don’t need power, water, houses, food, clean air, or even a planet but the ultra wealthy need everything!
Joking aside, canceling solar is just dumb especially with the push for more and more AI and crypto data centers

How is this going to lower energy prices?

Wild.
You’d think we would want a ton of various energy projects, plenty of infrastructure projects, but na, who needs an updated country?

I should be shocked but it is hilarious to see Trump literally cancelling billions in investement in the US. The Techbros will be livid as well, good luck powering all the power hungry data centres they are building for the AU bubble. Trump’s policies are going to make data centres unviable.

If you’re young and voted for Trump, enjoy. Global warming is increasing, not decreasing and these kind of policies will only make it worse. China leads the world in solar and wind power. It has THREE times as much as the USA. It has about 30 nuclear plants under construction, guess how many the USA has under construction (not experimental)? ZERO.
If you voted for Trump, you put a nail in your coffin.

How are these contracts written? Is there really no breach of contract by just pulling out?
these fuckers have caused irreversible damage with global consequences

I’m certain the Chinese are loving this news. There’s a lot of money and influence to be had by cornering the solar market.
SandboxSurvivalist on
They are doing this because billionaires haven’t figured out how they can own sunlight and sell it to others at a massive profit. Just wait until they build a massive array of satellites that blocks out the sun for areas that haven’t paid to receive it.

China will just make another solar farm to offset it don’t worry

America is great right, so much winning right?!!!

The only reason to cancel is because its cheaper then gas or oil.
If it was not…. they would let it fail to prove so.

The US has conceded development of renewable energy to China. But I hear coal is about to make a big comeback!
