To the editor: I’m heartened by the latest article in regards to the combat to protect offshore wind tasks (“Crazy week for U.S. offshore wind in federal court as it fights back against administration,” Jan. 16). President Trump’s obsession with them — paying homage to 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 best way of our nation’s critically wanted transition to wash vitality.
The courts are proper to permit these wind tasks to maneuver ahead. With energy calls for rising, we want new vitality sources that can meet these wants whereas additionally defending the atmosphere, our residents’ well being and our planet’s local weather. We should not permit the Trump administration to derail us from attaining a clear vitality future.
