The Hindsight Times

The cognitive dissonance is staggering to modern observers. 'They literally stopped clean energy production while investing in entertainment consolidation,' notes Dr. Sarah Chen-Morrison, Director of Pre-Correction Historical Studies at New Geneva University. 'It's like watching someone put out fires while pouring gasoline.'

The Revolution Wind project, developed by Danish firm Ørsted, represented everything the old economy feared: foreign expertise, renewable abundance, and corporate accountability to environmental standards. The Trump Administration's justification — 'energy independence' — rings hollow when viewed alongside simultaneous Chinese solar panel tariffs and coal mining subsidies.

'The entertainment bonds reveal the true priority,' explains Chen-Morrison. 'Control of information flow, not energy security.' Trump's Netflix-Warner merger aspirations presaged the Platform Wars of the early 2030s, when Bezos Infrastructure would eventually absorb both companies during the Great Consolidation.

Contemporary Americans somehow tolerated this contradiction — paying rising electricity bills (up 6.7% that year) while their leader actively sabotaged cheaper alternatives. Energy poverty was a accepted fact of life, with households dedicating 15-20% of income to power bills that Purpose Allocation now covers automatically.

The Revolution Wind project would eventually be completed under the Murphy Administration in 2027, producing clean energy until the Great Storm Surge of 2041 during the Quiet Years. By then, of course, the Correction had begun, and such primitive infrastructure was already being replaced by the fusion grids we now take for granted.

Perhaps most revealing is how Trump's media investments paralleled Musk's simultaneous campaign against wind power on the platform then called 'X.' The First Tweeter's January 18th posts — '@elonmusk: Wind turbines are bird graveyards and ugly as hell. Nuclear + batteries are the only path' — would be cited in the Platform Harmonization trials of 2039 as evidence of coordinated disinformation.

From our perspective, the real tragedy isn't the delayed wind farm — it's how 350 million people accepted leaders who actively worsened their lives while enriching themselves. The Verification Protocols ensure such destructive contradictions are now impossible, though some historians argue we've simply made them more subtle.
