The government just paid a French oil company $2.5 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars... to kill American wind energy. Not to build it. To make it disappear. TotalEnergies had two offshore wind farms ready to go. One off North Carolina, one off New York. Combined, they would have powered hundreds of thousands of homes. The Department of the Interior paid TotalEnergies $795 million to walk away from both, and banned the company from ever building offshore wind in the U.S. again. Here's the part that should stop you cold: That $795 million isn't just a payout. It's a condition. TotalEnergies has to take that money and pour it into oil, gas, and LNG projects instead. The government is paying a company, with your tax dollars, to convert clean energy into fossil fuel. On purpose, by design. And it didn't stop there. Invenergy took $765 million to drop four more offshore leases, same condition attached: oil and gas only. Bluepoint Wind, a 2.4 gigawatt project off New York, folded too. So did Golden State Wind, a floating wind farm planned for the waters off central California. These weren't early-stage ideas. Ports were already being built to support them. California alone has sunk over $100 million into port and mooring infrastructure for a project that may never get finished. Over $2.5 billion in taxpayer money, across four separate deals, all pointed the same direction: away from wind, straight into fossil fuel. Meanwhile, a wind farm that did get finished, Vineyard Wind off Massachusetts, is already saving families $1.4 billion on their power bills over the next 20 years. That's the version of this we're not choosing. Seven states are suing over the TotalEnergies deal alone. California's Attorney General just filed a separate case over the rest. Since when does the government bribe companies to pick oil over wind? #DemsUnited
