- pjc50 10mo agoThey're stuck there for four year terms, and in the case of SCOTUS life, are they not?
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoNobody can predict the future, but there are several possibilities, including impeachment and death in office. The man really doesn't look very good, I don't expect him to last out his term. Not only that, but the president can only do what Congress allows him to do. Look for a blue wave next year.

- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoEverybody can see that climate change is real. Relying on fossil fuels is just the last gasp of a dying industry.
- nullocator 10mo agoI had someone say this to me almost verbatim, 30 years ago. I'm not sure how long should we expect this last gasp to last?
- mdhb 10mo agoThey aren’t leaving until someone forces them to do so. They aren’t going to accept any election results that they don’t like they have already proven that.
- thinkcontext 10mo agoEven if a Dem is elected in '28, who is going to make a multi-year investment with the chance that JD Vance/Trump Jr/MTG could be elected in '32?
- amanaplanacanal 10mo agoDo you think they will necessarily have the same hardon against wind that Donald Sr has?
- thinkcontext 10mo agoI have seen no indication that any of those 3 wouldn't. And in general the GOP is pretty virulently against wind power, take the false stories about them causing whale strandings or the Texas winter power outage. Its true no one has had quite the sustained, obsessive, demented hatred that Trump has ("windmills cause cancer"). But would you be willing to bet $Bs on them being any better?
- cyberax 10mo agoIt doesn't matter. You won't invest billions into new plants if they can be cancelled on a whim. And mind you, the previous cancellation was contested through the courts, and it was found to be illegal. So now the administration did essentially the same, but without citing any reasons (they are "classified"). If this stands, then it is really a death blow to the US industry. It undermines the main pillar of capitalism: protection of property rights.
