To the editor: I’m heartened by the latest article concerning the combat to protect offshore wind initiatives (“Loopy week for U.S. offshore wind in federal court docket because it fights again in opposition to 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 gas allies — stands in the way in which of our nation’s critically wanted transition to scrub power.
The courts are proper to permit these wind initiatives to maneuver ahead. With energy calls for rising, we want new power sources that may meet these wants whereas additionally defending the surroundings, our residents’ well being and our planet’s local weather. We should not enable the Trump administration to derail us from reaching 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.
