To the editor: I’m heartened by the latest article in regards to the struggle to protect offshore wind tasks (“Loopy week for U.S. offshore wind in federal court docket because it fights again towards administration,” Jan. 16). President Trump’s obsession with them — reminiscent of when one such growth sullied the view he desired from his Scottish golf hyperlinks, and bolstered now by devotion to his campaign-contributing fossil gasoline allies — stands in the best way of our nation’s critically wanted transition to scrub power.
The courts are proper to permit these wind tasks to maneuver ahead. With energy calls for rising, we want new power sources that may meet these wants whereas additionally defending the setting, our residents’ well being and our planet’s local weather. We should not permit the Trump administration to derail us from attaining a clear power future.
The judicial department is doing its half; now can be the time to foyer your congressional representatives to make sure that the legislative department can be working towards this aim.
