The Trump Train chugs at full speed, and radical green initiatives pay the price.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, the news has focused on several yuge<\/em> announcements from the Trump administration, plus a lot of leftist media speculation they seem to have made up out of thin air. Case in point: Elon Musk isn\u2019t going anywhere, despite the rumors to the contrary. Trump also announced \u201cLiberation Day\u201d on Thursday, which sucked all the oxygen out of the room when he announced his reciprocal tariff plan on overseas imports. That caused a rather volatile day in the stock markets and in the media. Of course, that stirred pot is exactly where Trump lives, so he seems to be thriving on the attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While those media events have taken all the attention, a lot of stuff happened in the environmental space that escaped notice. We have much to cover in this week\u2019s column that you may have missed. A spectacular wind turbine failure puts a punctuation mark on the end of Biden\u2019s Green New Deal insanity and other stories about failing green energy; the Gotion EV battery plant in Michigan continues to unravel; a scientific study shows just how much a volcanic eruption a few years ago affected the climate, dwarfing human contributions; a tragic EV explosion that claimed the lives of two firefighters; the children who sued the government over the climate and lost now want to change their state constitution; and Al Gore is still wrong about everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our Good News segment, the far-left government of British Columbia has abandoned its heralded carbon tax; Trump has started rolling back tailpipe emissions rules; and EPA Chief Lee Zeldin has closed the EPA Museum (yes, it really existed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Week in Failing Green Energy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This week we have a grab bag of \u201cgreen energy\u201d failures. None captures the zeitgeist<\/em> of the moment better than the images from Fox News<\/a> of a Nantucket, Massachusetts offshore wind turbine that committed seppuku <\/em>recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A major part of a first-of-its-kind green energy project, which the Biden administration<\/a> bragged about, is now lying in ruins and polluting some of America\u2019s beautiful ocean and seashore in Nantucket, Massachusetts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive images obtained by Fox News Digital show the shattered remains of what is left of an ocean wind turbine constructed by Vineyard Wind in a green energy project touted by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turbine was recently struck by lightning and destroyed just months after one of its blades dangerously fell into the Atlantic Ocean, dropping non-biodegradable fiberglass shards into the water, some of which washed ashore, forcing six Nantucket beaches to close.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, Nantucket has sued the Trump administration over a separate offshore wind project in a sue-and-settle tactic perfected by radical leftists. From the Daily Caller<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Environmental groups have used \u201csue and settle<\/a>\u201d tactics \u2014 wherein plaintiffs sue an aligned administration to kill a disfavored project, which the aligned administration effectively does via settlement \u2014 for decades to impede infrastructure projects they oppose. Now, Nantucket is suing<\/a> the Trump administration and alleging that key procedural laws were not followed in Biden-era approvals for the massive SouthCoast wind farm off the island\u2019s coast, teeing up a potential \u201csue and settle\u201d situation that could derail a major project supported by the green left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nantucket\u2019s lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, names Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) as defendants, even though the Trump administration was not in power when the government approved SouthCoast Wind\u2019s paperwork.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At this rate, offshore wind will cease to exist before the end of Trump\u2019s term in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gotion Plant in Michigan Falling Apart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Restoration News has reported extensively over the past couple of years on the crony deal between Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and a Chinese EV battery manufacturer to build a plant in rural Green Charter Township, over the objections of the townsfolk. The project appears to have ground to a halt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The corrupted \u201cdeal\u201d with China- headquartered and CCP-tied @Gotion48660<\/a> conceived and championed by @GovWhitmer<\/a> and @MEDC<\/a> CEO @QuentinMesserJr<\/a> continues to rattle apart.
