Will you extend your “biased messenger analysis” to reuters as well? https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-orders-orsted-ha.... The only difference is they didn’t have an attempt to contact the relevant government org for comment.

There are multiple sources indicating this administrations stance on wind power. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/28/are-trum... for instance. It would seem the foreign production source (China) is probably the only related to US security. The other statements about price or environmental impact have no particular basis in data or direct US security impact.

This analysis of using foreign sourcing as a reason to kill energy projects roughly lines up with portions of the official press release: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/department-interior-curbs-... Although they amend that with statements about land use and environmental impact.

From a strictly personal analysis, it’s hard though to frame the current administrations aggregate actions as anything but an attempt to cripple wind and solar based industries, which have far less environmental impact and carbon footprint than any other industry except maybe nuclear. But nuclear struggles due to buy in costs and public perception.

My perception as one who works in space based climate research is that both have being done, mass firings of people that makes no account of their skills or value, plus targeted firings that are less about finding waste and more about advancing ideology - anti-diversity, anti climate and earth science. From my view it’s awful, as I opine that the goal is to starve all non-military or non-human spaceflight efforts.

Cutting all probationary employees or recent promotions was just an awful strategy. For every department in the government.

I read the papers posted by the White House to support their claim of transgendered mice . https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/yes-biden-spent-...

I’m not a molecular biologist, but some seemed just good solid research on women’s health, like asthma prevalence, that just happened to study a mixture of transgender individuals and mice models since both are useful for understanding androgen sensitivity. Another included research on disruptors in lutenizing hormone. It still seemed a pretty dumb thing to attack.

Not to mention transgendered people are people too, and allowed to have some medical research related to their existence.
