CALIFORNIA SUES TRUMP OVER WIND DEAL: BECAUSE TAXPAYERS LOVE LOSING!The Dispatch
Santa Barbara Independent · The Whipping Post · NO.849 · PANEL 5/6 · SB-6XW

It appears California’s perpetually sun-kissed, perpetually deluded state government has decided that losing isn’t just a habit, it’s a lifestyle choice. Barely a month into President Trump’s glorious second term, the Golden State’s progressive politicos, undoubtedly fumbling their kombucha and kale smoothies, have filed a lawsuit against the White House. The Santa Barbara Independent, ever eager to parrot the establishment line, reported on this latest taxpayer-funded tantrum: California is apparently miffed that Trump pulled the plug on those colossal, bird-shredding offshore wind farms off our beautiful Central Coast.

The real story, of course, is the sheer audacity of these Sacramento grandstanders. They’re effectively suing to force expensive, unreliable energy projects back onto the grid, projects that would have destroyed ocean views, decimated marine life, and hiked up utility bills faster than a progressive politician can invent a new tax. The President, ever the pragmatist and protector of American pocketbooks, saw the writing on the wall: these windfarms were an environmental and economic disaster waiting to happen. But for California’s ruling class, 'disaster' is just another word for 'opportunity to virtue signal.'

Let’s be honest, the only 'wind' these folks are interested in harnessing is the hot air from their own pronouncements. While hardworking Californians struggle to pay for gas and electricity thanks to years of green energy mandates, these crusaders want to spend millions more on a legal battle they’re guaranteed to lose. All because they can’t stand the idea of a sensible, pro-growth, pro-energy White House under President Trump prioritizing the American people over their increasingly outlandish climate agenda. Perhaps they should try suing Mother Nature for not providing enough consistent breeze for their giant pinwheels.
