Fox News
A major global energy developer axed two offshore wind projects the Biden administration recently approved and boasted would create thousands of jobs.
"We have no choice but to cease development of Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2," said David Hardy, Orsted's group executive vice president and Americas division CEO. "We are extremely disappointed to have to take this decision, particularly because New Jersey is poised to be a U.S. and global hub for offshore wind energy." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"We remain committed to the U.S. renewable energy market, building clean power that will create jobs across technologies and states from the Northeast to Texas," Hardy continued. "Offshore wind energy remains an integral solution to helping the U.S. meet its clean energy ambitions, including job creation, a domestic supply chain and a reinvigorated maritime industry."
