Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew announced that he has been working closely with President Trump on drafting an executive order that would halt offshore wind turbine activities along the East Coast and lay the groundwork for permanent measures against the projects. The proposed order is expected to be finalized within the first few months of the administration.
"These offshore wind projects should have never been approved in the first place," said Congressman Van Drew. "The Biden administration rammed them through the approval process without proper oversight, transparent lease agreements, or a full understanding of their devastating consequences. They are an economic and environmental disaster waiting to happen. The Biden administration's reckless green agenda put politics over people, and that ends now. President Trump is committed to stopping these harmful projects and is taking decisive action. This executive order is just the beginning. We will fight tooth and nail to prevent this offshore wind catastrophe from wreaking havoc on the hardworking people who call our coastal towns home."
