Seven States Sue Over $795 M Wind-Lease LNG Swap
- The lawsuit challenges a $795 million “pay-not-to-play” deal that swapped a New York offshore wind lease for fossil-fuel funding.
- On June 2 2026, seven states led by New York filed a federal suit in Washington, D.C. against the Interior Department.
- The deal would reimburse TotalEnergies $795 million and fund about $1 billion in Texas LNG projects.
- The cancelled 84,000-acre lease could generate 2,700 MW, power a million homes and save New Yorkers $10 billion.
- Seven Democratic-led states claim the deal would cut over a thousand union jobs and raise residents' electricity bills.
- U.S. President Donald Trump's administration agreed to pay $795 million to TotalEnergies to cancel wind leases, prompting seven states to sue.
- The states say the cancellation endangers grids, climate goals, and electricity supply during extreme weather.
- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the deal as energy, calling offshore wind costly and subsidy-dependent.
Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act in December 2007, setting a 20 % renewable electricity goal for 2020. The act spurred New York’s 2012 offshore wind lease auction, while the Bush administration had previously leased about 13 million acres of federal land. Today, New York and states sue the Interior Department after Trump administration’s deal to cancel the lease, highlighting clash between renewable incentives and fossil-fuel deals.

A Must-Have News for Staying Informed
This news app offers a beautifully designed,user-friendly experience that makes reading the news enjoyable and efficient . The app delivers high-quality journalism from trusted publishers,covering a wide range of topics including politics,entertainment,sports and local news. I love how the content is currated expertly,allowing me to personalize my feed based on my interests.
Nice App
Good to find unbiased news
Great App to Stay Informed Easily
I really like the app. I was looking for something that could give me summarized news about F1, and this does exactly what I needed. The other apps I tried were too opinionated and didn't offer much personalization. Drooid delivers news in short, card-style updates with images that make it visually appealing. The cool thing is that the app offers way more topics beyond F1- there's content for just about any interest. I'd recommend it to people like me - a bit lazy, but who want to stay informed without spending too much time reading.
Greatness
Drooid is great news app for my iPhone,I highly recommend it!
Loving it
Simple and straightforward layout. Refreshing new News App. Looking forward to using it as my go to for current events. Love the name!
Honestly, this app gave me both sides of the news stories. If you're like me, and are always looking for both sides of a story, this app is definitely a good one to check out
Great news app
With so many unreliable, misleading, and heavily editorialized stories passing for “news” these days, it can be a mental drain just pre-screening them for accuracy. Sorting the bad from the good is a best-use of AI, and occasional spot-checks have all come back good. I find myself going to it as my primary news source more and more!
Game changer for news consumption!
I’ve been using Drooid for a month now, and it has completely changed the way I consume news. The app delivers clear, concise, and balanced summaries that save me so much time while keeping me well-informed. I really appreciate how it presents multiple perspectives on each story and provides context without bias. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the transparency about sources builds trust. Great job — this is exactly what modern news apps should be like!
Amazing!
Curated and summarized news for easy reading,sources included. It's a great app for taking in your interests.
Needs Better Accessibility
I really like the concept of this app. I like the short summaries and the ability to see all sides. Like how it shows you both left-leaning and right-leaning opinions. I feel like that's something a lot more people need to see. However, as it stands at the moment, the usability with voiceover, the ios screenreader that allows blind people to use apple devices is bad. I'm able to read stories well enough but when it comes to interacting with them, especially commenting on them, it's not good at all. This short format would be great for blind and visually impaired people to get news, if these issues were improved upon.
Good Sources
Great digest of news from different sources
Very well designed news feed
