We all witnessed the merriment of Governors on both coasts when the Trump administration imperiously declared that it was open season on oil drilling up and down every inch of coastline in the United states. And his partial walkback when Florida Governor Rick Scott reminded him that Mar-A-Lago and Trump Doral were in Florida. But we seem to have forgotten a Trumper tantrum in the not too distant past when the shoe was on the other foot.
Trump wants oil wells as a permanent offshore feature of the US. This is the same Trump who just a few years ago went to court with Scotland, trying desperately to stop the construction of an off shore windmill farm that would provide clean electric power to Scotland because it might dent the magnificence of the views of his stupid, overpriced resort and golf course. Nevermind the fact that it’s kind of difficult to have an accidental offshore electricity spill.
So. condemning the citizens and visitors of the United States to viewing out magnificent coastlines from the parking lot because you can’t walking on the beach without having to throw out your oil soaked shoes is fine. But God forbid that one of his rich shitpoke CEO buddies should have his concentration on his 6” putt distracted by a windmill slowly turning 3 miles offshore? Bloody idiot.
