A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Six U.S. states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a deal that paid French energy firm TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money to cancel a major offshore wind lease off the coast of New York. The deal, announced in March, involved TotalEnergies terminating two planned offshore windfarms off New York and North Carolina and pledging not to develop new U.S. offshore wind projects, while instead investing hundreds of millions in oil and gas. State attorneys general argue the agreement is unlawful.
