*And yet your buddy He Who Must Not Be Named spent nearly $1 billion of
taxpayers money to get a French company to STOP them from building two huge
offshore wind farms. I'm sure at this very instant your knee-jerk reaction
is kicking in and you're desperately trying to think of a reason why this
monumentally idiotic act might be a little less moronic than it seems to
be. Can't you just say to yourself "to hell with tribal loyalty, that was a
really really dumb move, especially when we need every watt we can get our
hands on if we expect to beat the Chinese in the AI race"?  *

*Not as bright as solar. In 1975 solar panels cost about $115 per watt. By
2010 it had fallen to $2.15 per watt, and by 2021 to only $0.27 per watt.
And the rate of Photovoltaic improvement has not stopped. And yet your
buddy has called solar energy the "scam of the century" and called them
"farmer destroying projects" and he added complex procedural red tape to
freeze or slow down both solar and wind power on federal lands. OK I can
already see your knee jerking so let's hear your defense of this
absurdity. *
