Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The delays, which companies say have worsened significantly in recent weeks, are the latest step in the Trump administration’s efforts to block wind power.

The Financial Times broke this story but I don't have a gift link to their article.

I'll note that the national security claims are simply lies

As Pentagon officials delay approval of wind farms, scientific studies show that they can distort radar systems, but the problem is manageable, researchers say.

Other countries are instead looking to integrate wind turbines into national defense.

What the Radical Left doesn't understand is that windmills gain energy through the electromagnetic force. That's the very same force that powers magnets. It's also the same force that birds use to navigate! THE LEFT WANTS TO USE WINDMILLS TO STEAL ALL THE ELECTROMAGNETISM FROM BIRDS! I won't let them kill the magnetic moment without a fight! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

I know you're doing a meme and all but this isn't even the dumbest opinion I could hear from regressives. Like I legit heard one argue that geothermal power is bad because it's steals power from the earths core and will somehow stop the earths rotation around the sun. I wanted to kill them on the spot for being so unimaginably stupid.
