$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill.
Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, also known as Coban Sewu, is located in Sidomulyo, Pronojiwo, Lumajang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. It's a stunning tiered waterfall that spills down into a horseshoe-shaped ravine, creating the "thousand waterfalls" effect that gives it its name. Good Morning Blue Sky

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power.
