Summary
Donald Trump criticized the U.K.'s renewable energy focus, calling to “open up” North Sea oil production and abandon wind turbines.
His comments followed reports of declining North Sea oil production and U.S. company Apache’s planned exit by 2029.
Oil firms have reduced investments due to higher taxes and declining resources, while the U.K. aims to decarbonize its energy sector by 2030, expanding offshore wind power.
However, the offshore wind industry faces financial challenges, including rising costs and reduced investments, prompting debates on balancing energy security and green transition goals.
Can’t wait to read the news of his death. Fucking wanker.
The world will gain another public bathroom that day 🦀
Sadly, I doubt anyone will get to use it any time soon. His faithful are our contemporaries and they won’t let that happen.
Its far easier to wait to piss on something than it is to guard it valiantly 24/7. We will make him America’s Margaret Thatcher.
Voting Trump in is, IMO, Americas Brexit.
I hope his grave will become a gender neutral bathroom.
Any grave is a gender neutral bathroom if you want it to be.
Party on day 1
Day 2 travel to pay my respects by drinking all the soda and refilling the bottles with my piss.
On the 3rd day, go to the grave and dump all the piss I have accumulated and leave a fresh shit too
Was his family killed by windmills or something?
No but he vehemently opposed offshore wind farms that would be visible from his Scottish golf course
Unfortunately he was unaware that Scottish people are vindictive cunts, and now there’s a ginormous wind farm off the coast of his poxy fucking golf course
RIP Janey Godley.
He hates that wind energies didn’t make him or his buddies disgusting profits.
The cunt doesn’t want turbines purely because it “ruins” the view from his golf course at Balmedie (unsurprisingly, on the North Sea Coast), the utter self-centred closed-minded wankturtle.
The US has far bigger problems on it’s plate, shit that’s going on across the pond in a country he’s got fuck all to do with should be lower on his list of things to worry about.
He doesn’t want turbines because oil companies paid him $75 million to promote their interests.
He wanted a billion dollars but apparently 75 million is almost as good. Art of the deal.
If your daily cost of living is met and your lifestyle doesn’t change between 75m and 1b what is the actual difference besides the paper in a bag/vault? It’s the same reason I don’t understand why billionaires always want more…elon having 5b and 500b doesn’t change what it’s like to live and travel and have access. Once you’re over a certain threshold, having more doesn’t actually mean doing more.
I mean, Twitter cost him what, like 49 billion? I’d argue that was a good deal for him, considering what happened the past few weeks… But in general I agree with you. One person just should not be allowed to have that much money.
It is a high score in a game. You always want to improve it and be in the top 10
Yup, gotta get those numbers higher than the next person.
Perhaps they did, but the whole view thing is nothing new either.
The more this dipshit is focused on petty nonsense like this, the less he’s fucking up shit for real.
Except that’s not what’s going on here.
Trump is very much brain to mouth. He just says shit. It doesn’t even have to make sense.
Everyone else takes what he says and deals with the ramifications of “what if he actually does it”. The problem with this approach is that it wastes our time and energy chasing his thoughts, while behind closed doors he does his real nasty shit.
All the while, the right just praises their god that they can be racist, transphobic, homophobic, bastards.
We need to get rid of the right.
Imagine the world we would have lived in if there were oil rigs there instead.
I imagine the oil barons would find lucrative ways to keep Trump happy.
Oh no, not the golf course!
“America first!!!”
[focuses on genocidal russian needs before even being sworn in]
Senile lunatic tilts at windmills (though in a much less entertaining way than the original).
I read Don Quixote like 4 years ago and it was an amazing experience…laughed out loud multiple times and only one other book by George Carlin (his autobiography i believe) had done that to me although Stephen Colbert’s I am America and so can you almost had me there.
“Windmills” cringe toddler level vocabulary
Seriously. These people are so fucking stupid.
Still sour about windmills off the coast of one of your golf courses.?
How about opening up America, and getting rid of Trump?
I call for opening up Trump and removing his windpipe
Jesus fuck, is he a Bond villain?
I take that back, he’s not smart enough.
He’s a Captain Planet villain.
We could really use Captain Planet right about now. Maybe the M Rated version, the one where he one punches oil executives in the face
I started watching last time he got in with a kind of amused schadenfreude, mistakenly thinking that while he was obviously going to be a disaster for the US, he might be less terrible than Hillary for the rest of us.
When he was replaced by a grown-up, I breathed a sigh of relief - I’d not realised how mentally taxing it is to have someone so quixotic and deranged in that position, even from a continent away. This time he’s not even in office yet, and I’m already over the tension that his deranged little outbursts instil in me. Seeing his (and Elon’s) attention focus more over here is unnerving too, neither of them should be making decisions that affect anyone else, let alone in another country!
He’s degenerated since last time I’m sure. I think he’s facing similar mental degenerative issues as Biden, but Biden is receiving medical care and it’s being managed. Trump is being allowed to literally tilt at windmills because it’s useful to those around him.
Oh man, just wait.
I dunno how closely you follow US politics, but Trump was largely reigned in by his cabinet and the rest of the party/govt the first time around.
That is not the case anymore. All he has is people egging him on, and he will follow up on outbursts more frequently.
It’s alarming just how unalarmed people are… Shit is going to get wild.
If you do the opposite of whatever Trump says you should do, you can’t go far wrong.
I’m sure Farage will order the demolition of the wind turbines on day one of his Musk-ordained premiership
There goes Donald Quixote riding El Russia and tilting at windmills again.
Translation: trump wants you to be dependent on putin’s oil and gas
