  This is obviously because Donald Trump notoriously hates offshore wind turbines.

    Perhaps worth recapping that he hates them due to a specific personal event (the same is true for everything he does, if you dig deep enough to find the reason). In this case he developed a golf resort on the East Coast of Scotland. Meanwhile wind generators were also being deployed immediately offshore. He became enraged that the view from his new development was blighted by the turbines. So it isn't even due to oil industry bribery. It's personal.

      In that case he would just approve wind farms that fuck with people he dislikes. It seems to me this is very much intentional to keep oil demand up and prices high.

        The problem there is that other people don't hate wind farms the way he does.

      I don't know why people think wind turbines are ugly... Someone who admires gold toilets, no less. I think the opposite.

        I think you just found the compromise: Gold painted wind turbines. Art of the Deal!

      Much like a certain White House Correspondents' Dinner incident.
