In case anyone still bothers counting the times #Trump has ignored court rulings, the #judiciary & flat out breaks the #law, here’s another to add to the list —
On Dec 8th, a federal judge threw out the Trump EO blocking #WindEnergy projects, yet today, Dec 22nd, the Trump admin said it is pausing leases for 5 large-scale offshore #wind projects under construction in the East Coast due to unspecified [aka bullshit] “national security” risks identified by the Pentagon.
The pause is effective immediately & will give the #Interior Dept, which oversees offshore #wind, time to work with the #Defense Dept & other agencies to assess the possible ways to mitigate any security risks posed by the projects [come up with some bullshit excuses], the admin said.
