Letters from an American
By Heather Cox Richardson, Aug 30, 2025
Just days before Labor Day, a holiday designed to celebrate the importance and power of American workers in the United States, the Transportation Department cancelled $679 million in funding for offshore wind projects, and the Department of Energy announced it is withdrawing a $716 million loan guarantee to complete infrastructure for an offshore wind project in New Jersey.
These cancellations reflect President Donald J. Trumpโs apparent determination to kill off wind and solar power initiatives and to force the United States to depend on fossil fuels. He refers to climate change as a โhoax,โ says that windmills cause cancer, and falsely claims that renewable energy is more expensive than other ways to generate power. Former president Joe Biden made investing in clean energy a central pillar of his administration; Trump often seems to construct policies mostly to erase the legacies of his predecessors.
Reversing the shift toward renewable energy not only attacks attempts to address the crisis of climate change and boosts the fossil fuel industry on which some of Trumpโs apparent allies depend, but also undermines a society based on the independence of American workers. In 2023, about 3.5 million Americans worked in jobs related to the renewable energy sector, and jobs in that sector grew at more than twice the rate of those in other sectors in what was a strong U.S. labor market. The production of coal, which Trump often points to as an ideal for American jobs, peaked in 2008. Between then and 2021, employment in coal mining fell by almost 60% in the East and almost 40% in the West, leaving a total of about 40,000 employees.
Another cut last week sums up the repercussions of the administrationโs attack on renewable energy. On August 22 the Interior Department suddenly and without explanation stopped construction of a wind farm off the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island that was 80% complete and was set to be finished early next year. As Matthew Daly of the Associated Press noted yesterday, Revolution Wind was the regionโs first commercial-scale offshore wind farm. It was designed to power more than 350,000 homes, provide jobs in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and enable Rhode Island to meet its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2033.
The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut expressed their dismay at the decision, noting that Revolution Wind employed more than 1,000 local union workers and is part of a $20 billion investment in โAmerican energy generation, port infrastructure, supply chain, and domestic shipbuilding and manufacturing across over 40 statesโ by รrsted, a Danish multinational company.
โStopping this fully permitted, important project without a clear stated reason not only seriously undermines the stateโs efforts to work towards a carbon neutral energy supply but equally important it sends a message to investors from all over the world that they may want to rethink investing in America. The message resulting from the Presidentโs action is a lack of trust, uncertainty, and lack of predictability,โ they wrote.
Connecticut governor Ned Lamont and Rhode Island governor Dan McKee, both Democrats, are working together to save the project. In a statement, Lamont said: โWe are working closely with Rhode Island to save this project because it represents exactly the kind of investment that reduces energy costs, strengthens regional production, and builds a more secure energy futureโthe very goals President Trump claims to support but undermines with this decision.โ
โItโs an attack on our jobs,โ McKee said. โItโs an attack on our energy. Itโs an attack on our families and their ability to pay the bills.โ

Ogni anno partono dal Porto di Genova tra i 13000 e i 14000 container diretti verso #Israele. Quanto durerebbe l'invasione di #Gaza se questo e gli altri scali europei bloccassero il flusso? Questo per dire che non sarร questa firma a cambiare l'esito del conflitto, ma uscire dalla bolla per entrare nel mondo reale dei tifosi della Nazionale potrebbe essere una mossa efficace.

Yet another #illegal order
#Trump said on Saturday that he will issue an executive order to require voter identification from every voter.
"Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!," Trump said on Truth Social.
"Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military," he added.

Not in any way defending Trump here - but paper ballots and hand counting are considered to be the "gold standard" over here in the EU.
We get the results the same evening here in Sweden. It's all about how you staff etc.
As a cyber security professional I trust that method way more than using counting machines.
โIntorno a metร settembre queste barche arriveranno vicino alle coste di Gaza, nella zona critica.
Se anche solo per 20 minuti perdiamo il contatto con le nostre barche, le nostre compagne e i nostri compagni, noi blocchiamo lโEuropa. Insieme al nostro sindacato Usb, insieme a tutti i lavoratori portuali, insieme a tutta la cittร di Genova. Da questa regione escono 13-14mila container allโanno per Israele. Non faremo uscire piรน nemmeno un chiodo.
Lanceremo lo sciopero internazionale, bloccheremo le strade. Bloccheremo tutto. Devono tornare indietro le nostre ragazze e i nostri ragazzi senza un graffio, e tutta la nostra merce, che รจ del popolo, fino allโultimo cartone, deve arrivare dove deve arrivareโ.
Mi viene in mente solo una parola, che racconta benissimo sia Genova che i camalli.
Resistenza.

The image features a calendar on the left side, with a green top and orange squares representing days, suggesting a monthly view. On the right side, there is a partial illustration of a person's face, focusing on the cheek area, which shows red blemishes, indicating acne. A red circle with a diagonal line through it is superimposed over the cheek, symbolizing a prohibition or warning. The background is a light blue color, providing a neutral backdrop for the elements. The calendar and the face illustration are positioned side by side, with the calendar slightly overlapping the face illustration.

Die Stadt, die sich am Ufer befindet, ist von bunten Gebรคuden geprรคgt, die sich an den Hang der Berge schmiegen. Im Hintergrund erheben sich die schroffen, dunkelgrauen Berge, die die Szene umrahmen. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewรถlkt, und die Sonne scheint, was den Schnee und Eis in einem hellen, blรคulichen Licht taucht. Zwei Segelboote mit roten Segeln sind auf dem Wasser zu sehen, was auf die Nutzung des Wassers fรผr Transport oder Freizeitaktivitรคten hinweist.
