No, they paid a German company that was building massive off-shore wind power production in the US to cancel the project and reimbursed them for voiding the lease on those off-shore areas.
Basically the US pays to keep economically viable wind power financed privately away, then pays again for the subsidies to get economically non-viable fossil fuel power generators build instead. All while screaming how they don’t want to take part in that renewable scam that only works because of subsidies.
It’s so stupid, you would be laughed out of the room if you brought up such an idea in serious fiction…
What the heck? Why would they care if Germany is generating power?
