These things considered, do you agree with BOEM's assessment that these offshore wind projects... would have a major and potentially dangerous impact on maritime shipping on the east coast?
In this Congress, one of my agendas is going to be to focus on the impact... that offshore wind industrialization has on the Atlantic maritime supply chain.
I know that if there was a difficult situation, I would want someone that was fully trained and certified, and didn't just start yesterday--no fault to that person--handling a situation where so many lives are in danger.
I live on the east coast, obviously. I live--it is what is called the Jersey Shore. We now have along the east coast 25 dead whales.
It is dangerous to the environment, it is dangerous to the Cold Pool, which is a very environmentally sensitive area, it is dangerous to all this wildlife.
Congress must shine a light on the true costs of offshore wind industrialization, and hold this Government accountable.
