    Blocking renewable energy and jobs? Must be trying to get another 747 as a gift from the middle east.

    It’s because “emergency” powers can be bastardized as an end-around normal processes and oversight.

    He's not the president of New York he's just the president of child molesters.

    My favorite part of this is how his bullshit rationalization is that it is needed for national security reasons which makes absolutely no sense.

    Why don't the courts ever stay the federal action like they always do against Dems?

    I'm so tired of the back and forth on renewables. Let's please just invest in nuclear power and end this once and for all. It's the one area of energy policy Trump may actually have a lasting positive impact on.

    Good, it’s a waste of money. Build nuclear, more efficient.

    Look at electrical rates in states with a lot of wind energy, it's well below the national average.

    That's your counter argument? Wind turbines are terribly ineffective, ugly, and don't produce enough power for gross demand.
