TotalEnergies Offshore Wind Lawsuit Proves Common Sense Is Dead: How Did We Pay for This?
I’m fuming. Another day, another lawsuit from wealthy environmentalists trying to stop renewable energy projects they claim to support. TotalEnergies just won approval for a massive offshore wind farm—the kind of clean power we’ve been begging for—and now a local fishing group is suing, saying their trawlers might have to steer around a few turbines. As if we don’t already navigate oil rigs and shipping lanes! My electric bill just went up again, and these folks want to tie up in court for years. Use your common sense: we can’t have cheap energy AND pristine ocean views. If we keep blocking every project with litigation, we’ll be lighting candles while France laughs at us. What a joke.
