A big issue here in the New London area is Trump’s recent decision to order a stoppage to work on a wind farm that has become a major part of the local economy. What interests me is the fact that, at least from what I’ve seen, both the media and politicians opposed to the stoppage never mention the real reason for the stoppage.
Yes, they’ll blame oil interests and the millions they donated to Trump, but the real reason has more to do with Trump’s childishness. He doesn’t like windfarms because Scotland built one near one of his golf courses and when he tried to stop him they told him to pound sand!
That’s the fundamental reason why his administration is going after wind farms. They’re on his enemies list because Scotland failed to kiss his ass. Sure, it doesn’t hurt that the polluting energy suppliers benefit, but that’s a secondary consideration. But as with his obviously declining mental and physical health, the media gives him a pass on this, and for some reason the Democrats speaking out against him are doing so as well.
On a side note, I wonder how many of the people who will now lose their jobs as a result of this order voted for him. I suspect the percentage was greater than the percentage of Trump voters in the state overall.
