Hey, I actually wrote Totalenergies about this very news and asked them how they could cowtow to this type of coercion. Got a note saying they received it, no other reply.
Thank you for reporting on this. It makes me feel sick to my stomach but I appreciate what you're doing to report on it. I'll be at my local No Kings Protest with that John Oliver quote on my sign.
Trump has despised wind farms ever since one was built off the coast of his golf course in Scotland. Now he’s shutting down wind farms across the US and boosting fossil fuels, including reopening drilling along the California coast. Since he’s so enamored with “drill baby drill”, let’s plant an oil rig offshore from his precious golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes.
And still, in spite of all this horrible climate news, some 20,000 Dems are going to buy brand new gas-burning cars today. They did it yesterday and they'll do it tomorrow and every day going forward. They will then spend hundreds of billions on gasoline to fuel them for ten years. How can we expect to beat these horrible Republicans while funding them with billions of dollars every year? And how can we expect to kill the internal combustion engine industry while people on our side literally buy millions of new gas cars every year? These are serious questions that I want answers to.
Are YOU a liberal/progressive/democrat? Do YOU drive a gas car? What hell are you waiting for?

I've been watching the Nat Geo series "Gathering Storm" (https://www.natgeotv.com/za/shows/natgeo/a-gathering-storm)
and wondering how many of those NOAA and weather scientists are now laid off since filming in 2020...
A sad thought :-(

The golf course origin story never ceases to amaze me...
