To the editor: A pair of articles printed on April 27 had me at first heartened, after which maddened, by occasions tied to the event of unpolluted vitality from offshore wind farms.
The primary article supplied an encouraging report on the Revolution Wind and Dawn Wind tasks as they transfer towards completion and the potential to energy 1 million U.S. houses (“Offshore wind farms rise along Rhode Island’s coast, even as Trump tries to stop them,” April 27). However the second article was troubling, reporting on how the Trump administration is successfully bribing vitality corporations — with our tax {dollars}! — to stroll away from deliberate wind tasks and as a substitute spend money on fossil gasoline developments (“Trump administration pays wind developer to walk away from California offshore lease,” April 27). Such actions are indefensible on each environmental and financial grounds.
The change we see in our local weather calls for that we transfer away from greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels and towards clear, carbon-free vitality. And sound economics inform us to permit the vitality market to maneuver unencumbered to undertake these clear vitality approaches now that they’re very aggressive from a value perspective.
