Turbine: the Trump regime says they want energy that's not dependent on government subsidies, conveniently forgetting that oil and gas subsidies cost over a trillion dollars a year. Turbine: The new brilliant strategy is to spend $1.2 billion on not wind power! Turbine: Quick question: When market winners and losers are based on the whims of one incredibly stupid and venal man named Trump, is that capitalism?

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Trump's longstanding hatred of wind power has resulted in his attempting to stop wind power projects across the country but his regime has been losing in the courts. Therefore it's time for a new tactic: If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em! The Trump regime has promised $1.2 billion to a German company for its abandoning its offshore wind projects. Interior Secretary Turd Burgler said -- with I guess a straight face -- "Americans deserve an energy system built on common sense, not one dependent on costly subsidies or technologies that can't meet our country’s current demand." Presumably he's under the impression -- which I can't deny -- that outright lying is the way to curry favor with the regime.

The good news is energy will be cheap and plentiful when we're all dead.
