I found these videos really interesting but also was disheartened to not have heard of the projects earlier. I think everything that the videos discussed are extremely relevant and could become great endeavors and wish they were more talked about on the news, social media, or just in general. My favorite video was the one on the London Array. I really respected the halting of the project in order to save the red throated diver. It really resonated with me when the man said something along the lines of his end goal being to help the planet, and going through with the project would just hurt the planet in another way.
