The companies "donating" the money have almost $300 *billion* in
federal contracts.  What do you think?

> John, you imply that the cancelled solar project was taxpayer funded (otherwise POTUS would have no influence on it.)  If so, I oppose it too and agree it should be cancelled, not because I have anything against solar but because taxpayers shouldn’t be funding power projects.

Long history, though.  The Feds built all the big dams in the West.
