Food trumps “green” energy, wind, and solar

“We will not approve wind or farmer destroying solar,” said President Trump in an Aug. 20 post on Truth Social.  “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!”

Trump’s remarks came six weeks after the enactment of his One Big Beautiful Bill, which terminated tax credits for wind and solar projects by the end of 2027.

The Trump administration also issued a stop-work order for the Revolution Wind project, an industrial-scale offshore wind project 12 miles off the Rhode Island coast that was 80 percent completed.  This was followed by an Aug. 29 announcement by the Department of Transportation that it was cutting around $679 million in federal funding for 12 offshore wind farms in 11 states, calling the projects “wasteful.”

Sending an unmistakable message to investors to avoid risking their capital on no-longer-fashionable green energy, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is pulling the plug on a slew of funding programs for wind and solar power.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Big Fat exception is ethanol that we are forced to extract from corn for fuel which should be used for food.

Ethanol production contributes to food inflation.
