    Misusing national security should be grounds for imprisonment. Just add it to his long list of felonies.

    Ah yes, because making us more susceptible to fluctuations in the global energy market increases our security…brilliant.

    “National Security” has been used to:

    • Make routers more expensive
    • Make electronics more expensive
    • Make energy more expensive
    • Make it easier to spy on Americans in American soil
    • Try to make us pay for a ballroom

    He literally just doesn’t like seeing them from his golf courses. That’s it, that’s the entire reason.

      So, you’re telling us we should paint them gold and stick his orange fuckface on them to get them approved?

      And I still don’t get the hate. Personally I think they look neat. Beats a big ugly building, and one potentially spewing smoke.

    Yeah the value of the oil we use for our energy is dependent on foreign adversaries, but the real national security issue is the fucking wind turbine chilling on our own coastline…

    Oh and the whales. Republicans suddenly care about whales. Well… Ok… not those whales that are protected because they’re about to go extinct. We removed the protection for those whales so we could drill for oil there… But the ones near the wind turbines, those whales we really care about!

      Republican = GOP = Gas and Oil Party. Everything they do can be traced to trying to benefit Oil and Gas companies.

    Using “security” as an excuse to funnel money towards the Oil & Gas industry instead of Renewable Energy. That’s what’s happening here. While real security means diversifying into all forms of energy, not stalling any. (more O&G is actually bad for security when you consider climate damage).

      Oh it is not just about the climate. It is estimated that 5 million people die a year from lead in gasoline alone. The amount of pollution, cancer, and death O&G causes are far beyond most people’s comprehension.

    Just shut off all the solar and turbines - er… “windmills”, until he acknowledges the problem he’s caused.

      Shooting ourselves in the foot to try to get the guy who notoriously will not admit to mistakes to admit his mistake is a bold suggestion…
