@circlethywagons @MikeLevin This is just delusional.

Subsidies are required to feign a ROI for wind farming. Again, without the subsidies. Wind-farming ceases, and it is doing exactly that--- as should be the case. The money and material input does NOT pencil out. Natural gas knocks the propellers off wind farms. Plus, now that we know the planet is near one of the lowest levels of CO2 in the history of the planet, we need all the CO2 in the atmosphere we can get if we want to make it past the next ice age.

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid. Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions. Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced. Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend. Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand. Governments usually spend money to build things. This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built. nytimes.com/2026/06/17/cli…

@Maio2De @MikeLevin Except Iran’s nuclear program was “ completely and totally obliterated” last June. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Source: Donald J Trump So why, again did he launch a war that shut down the strait of Hormuz in March?

@GDNPearson @MikeLevin Nope! Gas prices in my state are dropping like flies. It was worth a little pain at the pump to me to not feel fear of being nuked. Thanks for asking.

Trump is the greatest enemy of the US: 1. His unjustified claim to Greenland has effectively ended NATO. 2. His support of Putin has ended all claims to the US supporting democracy. 3. His end of all US international aid has ended US soft power. 4. His war on iran has presented the US as a global village fool. 5. His persistent insults of all friendly global leaders alienates all. 6. No US president has appointed more incompetent people. 7. Finally, a man who always lies can't have any credibility.

@anders_aslund Trump will claim tomorrow Iran is “begging” for a deal.

Trump time and again proves that he is as dumb as it gets. How can the US have such a substandard president?! How can the republicans be so unpatriotic that they don't oust him through impeachiment?

@GeorgeTireBTR @MikeLevin Please explain why Texas is building windmills. Pro tip: it’s not because Abbot is “woke”.

@Maio2De @MikeLevin I don’t know about you, but I’m paying $1/gallon more for gas than I was a year ago. Guess why? Because oil is sold on world markets. Prices would be even higher if Trump wasn’t draining the strategic petroleum reserves. Guess what hasn’t spiked? The cost of wind and solar.

@MikeLevin Yep, that's a policy he ran on. His mandate was to make America energy rich again by getting more oil and coal flowing so we are not dependent on foreign fuel. Unfortunately, that's the ill-fated predicament California is now in. They import almost all their fuel=higher prices.

@circlethywagons @MikeLevin If you’re not a Russian troll account you’re doing a great impression of one. Enjoy the ratio.

Windmills are made of materials that harm the environment. Windmills deteriorate faster than they "pay-back" the energy and environmental damage they were claimed to eliminate. It is actually more beneficial to "the environment" (whatever that actually is) to PAY companies to HALT contracted windmill projects than continue. That is how damaging windmills are to the environment.

@GirkinGirkin @RALee85 Placing air defenses on civilian buildings converts civilian buildings into legitimate military targets. Just saying.

What ru worms air defense doing 📍 Moskwa

The contrast

@marcthiessen @McFaul Wow. When he’s lost Marc Thiessen you know Trump’s really screwed the pooch.

$300 billion for the reconstruction of Iran is like launching the Marshall Plan to rebuild Germany while the Nazis were still in power — except the Marshall Plan was worth only about $130 billion in today’s dollars. FREE GIFT LINK: wapo.st/3SiXQzq

@RpsAgainstTrump Just remember, with Trump every accusation is a confession. It’s just how his brain works. He saw an attractive woman and wanted a photo, so he projects it onto her.

🚨 Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni fires back at Trump: “Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I am frankly astonished. I don't ‌know why ⁠the president of the United States behaves like this towards his allies, after all, it's not the first time it's happened. I can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and of the United States, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence," she said, adding: "There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg."

Happy Juneteenth. What an awesome event at the Obama Center yesterday! It’s great that both Obamas’ absolutely magnificent speeches were covered live. And the music was . . . well, to live for. (Let’s retire that dumb “to die for” meme.)

This was a love letter from @NYCMayor to the city we all love - a city where everyone is welcome, where everyone can play, where everyone can win. What an amazing day, what an amazing team, what an amazing run. No New Yorker will ever forget what this Knicks team meant to us.

@mrjrcasual @ianbremmer A few hundred drones is enough of a threat to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. Oil tankers are sitting ducks. If no one dares transit you don’t need many because you never need to fire them.

@GDNPearson @ianbremmer Drones alone can’t do it. Subject to electronic warfare and weather. Not to mention the fact that they can be easily shot down. A few hundred is a pittance.

trump-iran deal arguably the least worst outcome available to president trump. except for: 1) agreeing to those terms months ago. 2) not having gone to war in the first place. or 3) not having withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal.

@mrjrcasual @ianbremmer If Trump has no fear of Iran’s military capabilities it’s because he’s senile. Why hasn’t he opened the Strait of Hormuz? Why have personnel been relocated from 13 Middle East bases? Why are 13 US soldiers dead and over 400 wounded? defencesecurityasia.com/en/us-bases-un…

@GDNPearson @ianbremmer The US under Trump has demonstrated no fear in Irans military capabilities. It’s a lame argument. China wants a stable and free flow of oil from Iran. There is zero benefit to arming Iran.

@mrjrcasual @ianbremmer As for Russia, they are unlikely to be shipping air defenses to Iran any time soon. But they would seem to have no shortage of Shaheed and Geran drones and could likely spare a few hundred: enough to cut off the Strait again should it come to that.

@mrjrcasual @ianbremmer I think you fundamentally underestimate the value to China of discouraging US attacks on Iran by bolstering Iranian military capabilities. And the value of forcing the US to hoard their stocks of advanced missiles and air defense systems rather than supplying Taiwan. (1/2)

@RVAwonk Can I assume this is the “for you” tab? I avoid it like the plague. Too much rage bait.

I literally engaged with one tweet about Israel and the Iran deal, and this is now my X feed. No one wants this. Literally, no one.

@alexstone622 @McFaul No one said the war was over. Russia will retaliate with additional massive attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and cultural treasures. They may even hit an occasional military target.

@McFaul Considering Russia has already destroyed all Ukrainian oil refineries and controls 20% of Ukraine's territory, including the Zaporizhzhia NPP, this war is far from over.

Russians have options. You could end your war in Ukraine.
