a criminal empire. long time in the making. From the creation of the FBI and the CIA to Nixon entrenching corruption further by allowing essentially unlimited political donations and lobbying (er bribes) Trump does shite in the open because he has immunity granted by the US Supreme Court.

The first energy projects confirmed/announced by PM Carney are renewable energy.
"The ultimate goal is to licence five gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes."
The areas have the possibility of producing up to 66GW.
Now we need the Wind West grid!
