What do you think about this?

I'm so mad I'm literally shaking

-Amanda

Short sighted and controlled by greed!

-A Concerned Citizen

This is a bad decision. Wind mills are good for the environment.

-Nanak

People are running the Earth into the ground with no regard for others, the planet or future generations. Actions like this are ignorant, destructive and hurt countless ecosystems.

-Tomi

I think it is a good decision

-Bentley

The setbacks for these projects are minimal. Catastrophic for wells and water sources.

-Melissa A.

Treat the Earth like it is your home

-Miles and Jess

We neeeeed those wind mills people! Don't take them away if you want us to live in the future! Stop!

-Stasia

Devastating for the earth and for humans.

-Michele Hamilton

Bad job

-Joe

Very very bad plan!!!!!!!!!!

-Sawyer K

Unless we do something now, we only have ourselves to blame. Take action, vote, and do not give up!

-Kayla

Not great

-Person

Very upset

-Nan

We need to speak up to our elected officials that we STRONGLY disagree with this. If they don't hear from us, they don't know.

-John L.

We need to take responsibilty for the damage we have done to the earth. It was amoral to cancel those leases!

-Ann

Energy policy involves real trade-offs. The US Department of the Interior's ~$3.9 billion settlements end early-stage offshore wind leases, refunding companies roughly what they paid (a refund, not pure payment by taxpayers) and redirecting capital to natural gas. Wind energy currently relies heavily on subsidies, is intermittent, and we still face the challenge of needing to generate energy when the wind doesn't blow. Yet it is true that this project would have supplied clean energy for millions of homes, created jobs, and cut emissions. Full context on these trade-offs help museum visitors weigh the evidence.

-Emilia Vanderwerf

I worry for our children and our grandchildren.

-Annie

Wind mills not the best for the envirornment

-Cole

I think it's a bad decision. Off the coast is one of the best places for wind energy, because the winds are strong over the ocean. And it can be built close to big coastal cities that need lots of electricity, reducing transmission losses.

-Ingrid Zabel

Terrible. It's a renewable resource. The focus on nonrenewable energy will negatively impact us and future generations.

-Concerned Mom

These policies of Trump are so shortsighted and that's saying it kindly.

Concerned Citizen

Horrible!!!

-Vernon Hamilton

Vote like your children's lives depend on it

-Ted

It is going behind in human history. As we learn more , we need to preserve our earth and best way is renewable energy, let us together work towards off shore wind power

-Shirish

Inexcusable folly

-Billy

Let's work with the Earth, because right now we are working against it.

-Scarlett

It's backward-thinking. We need forward thinking.
