Trump said he’ll end offshore wind ​“on day one.” Experts say he can’t do that, but his administration could cause plenty of trouble for the nascent industry.

  Why? From the article:

  Trump’s pledge to end the industry came during a May campaign stop at a New Jersey coastal resort city that’s been fighting offshore wind development over concerns that it’ll harm the fishing industry and spoil views from shorefront properties. During his speech, Trump repeated a claim from offshore wind opponents that the projects kill whales — a theory that federal researchers have debunked.

  It’s mind boggling how inept the Democrats have been about shit like this. Where were the sob stories about the people whose jobs are in danger? About the brave entrepreneurs who took risks on technologies, creating jobs for the average joe just for the government to come an pick winners and losers? I mean, I don’t believe in capitalism, but they’re supposed to be proud self proclaimed capitalists??

  Maybe he’ll ring up the army to destroy those “communist spinny things” by making them throw bombs at it.
