OT: Another offshore wind farm project cancelled

[tom1944]

For all you deficit hawks here is the information on every president. Note the percentage they increased it. Consider who served 4 years and who served 8.

U.S. Budget Deficit by President

Here are the budget deficits for each president back to Woodrow Wilson. Obama had the highest dollar increase, but Wilson had the biggest percentage rise.

Then why is Orange Jesus tell republicans not to strike a deal that would close the border ?:

Trump slams deal that would give Biden authority to close border

The former president has made immigration reform and the border a central plank of his election campaign.

The deal was horrible but thanks for repeating talking points

All Bidence has to do is enforce the current law...350k illegals crossed in December alone

So, your only a deficit hawk when a certain party is in charge.

Unless of course you support the one candidate who is making the deficit an issue. The accountant.

Republicans never said the world deficit from January 2017 to January 2021.

Republican talking points:

GOP senator: ‘Immoral’ to kill border deal to help Trump

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) argued it is “immoral” for Republicans to reject a border deal to help former President Trump. “I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss…

It beats doing nothing. But a very valid question that should also be asked is why the President waited until the election was less than a year to even agree to this mediocrity. What was wrong with 2022?

Of course you don’t care what Republican Senators say. You only care what your one God King says. The deal was good to go until Trump instructs MAGA to stop the deal son that Biden doesn’t get to fix things before the election.

Yep. Trump over everything else in the world. Don’t help Israel, let Ukraine fall to neo-Communists, don’t improve the border shit show.

If it helps one mentally deranged billionaire then forsake the country and the world.

It’s hard to convince cult members that they’re actively in a cult.

The border had been a shit show for a lot longer than since Dec. 2023. Why the change of heart by the administration in the last month?

You people crack me up. You yell fix the border fix the border fix the border and when there’s a bipartisan deal in place, you say “ whoa, whoa, whoa…..why do you want to do this now?”

The Republican Party has been destroyed and has been replaced by a cult and that cult is propping up the one candidate that Biden could beat. Strong work, lol!

Good night losers.

He can start by enforcing the law

Its a non starter as it allows 1.8 million illegals in a year and who knows if they even stick to the plan plus mass amnesty

Reading is fundamental. Could you translate "It beats doing nothing" into Morrisese? But the followup question is undeniably valid.

B.S. This so-called Senate border deal is 💩show. And what does Trump have to do with Bidunce and the Dims not bringing forward stand-alone bills for Ukraine and Israel? Right.

Instead of talking about the number of cars it would offset…. 1.3 million (sounds huge obviously)….. isn’t airplane emissions far greater impact on the environment?
We could take all the cars off the road and still have a major problem?

Ask Climate Czar John Kerry.

John Kerry’s gas-guzzling family jet has taken 16 trips this year alone

The gas-guzzling private jet owned by climate czar John Kerry’s family has already taken 16 flights this year alone, online records show.

[Knight Shift]

I mean, if you didn’t refinance before 2022, then I don’t know what to tell you.

And if you bought in the last year then mortgage rates are down 1% and will fall another 1% in the coming year as Biden’s Fed cuts rates now that inflation is in the 2% range.

Bidenomics has cooled inflation from 9% in 2022 to 2.8% in December. Bidenomics has avoided a recession when almost everyone said it would happen in 2023. Job growth has continued to be good and wage growth has been strong.

Now look forward to a stock market hitting even higher record highs as rates come down. Goldilocks scenario achieved by Bidenomics.

You cry to Richie that this should be on the CE Board, and then you participate. That's rich. Like John Kerry rich. Hypocrite.

So far away from windmills

 

[Knight Owl]

Pretty much where I am and what my advisor tends to think as well. Greatly appreciate your thoughts on this! And Knight Owl as well.

Full disclosure…my 401K investments are conservative and diversified (although I have an aggressive equities percentage for my age).

 

[Knight Owl]

So far away from windmills

I believe in the long-term viability of windmills. And, now that storage/battery capacity is ramping up globally, windmills could begin to dominate new energy production in the near future. There’s really no reason to be burning coal by the 2030’s.

MorrisAsh running away since he can't defend the 💩 details of the Senate so-called border deal. Have a good night loser.

The guy tags the board owner, crying about CE, and he is the most vociferous and political dbag in this thread, throwing out "Orange Jesus" more than 5 times--a crude and blasphemous use of the name of Jesus. What a tool.

 

[T2Kplus20]

This is the 3rd one in the last 6 months

Energy developer delivers major blow to blue state's climate agenda by canceling offshore wind contracts

A major energy developer is pulling out of contracts it entered into with the State of Maryland to build two large offshore wind farms in a blow to Democrats' green energy goals.

Great to see all these projects get flushed down the toilet. Congrats to NJ!

It seems to take forever for any construction project to get built in NJ.

Hmmm.....I wonder why. LOL!

So you are finally done whining about high inflation and decided to accept the facts? LOL. Please update your POV in the Stock & Investment thread.

FACTS:

Inflation: Way down and approaching Fed target
Higher Prices: Still here and will remain

People need to stop confusing the two. Not the same thing!

I am in Jackson and we are a one party dominated town. So why?

In Lakewood construction seems to go fast.

In Jackson, I think it is more than that. I have a friend who is a builder and he told me that everything is slow walked by the town. He builds in Monmouth and Ocean and Jackson is far more difficult.

Local govs can block or slow approvals (including permitting or inspections) based on what they want or not want, but the massive delays routinely experienced are via Trenton. It took us 6 years to repave 1000 feet of a particular road and 12 years to get approval for a pedestrian bridge over a stream due to the state/NJDEP. Plenty of other stories. Best ones were via my term on the DRCC where I served with the NJDEP commissioner. Good lord NJ is a mess.

I am a property rights person so while I agree with you but there is half the State or more that would complain if the process was quicker and more lenient.

The only time the citizens want quick and lenient is when it has to do with their own property for everyone else, they want the State to watch them with the eyes of a hawk and to hold their feet to the fire.
