House GOP lawmakers from the Northeast are calling for a federal moratorium on offshore wind projects until the full environmental and economic impacts of the ventures are understood.
The push led by Rep. Jeff Van Drew, New Jersey Republican, coincides with concerns about a dozen humpback whales and right whales that have washed ashore this year along the East Coast.
His resolution is co-sponsored by fellow Republican Reps. Chris Smith of New Jersey, Andy Harris of Maryland, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Anthony D’Esposito of New York. Wind energy is a key plank of President Biden’s push to promote green energy and wean the nation off oil.
