I'm a fishing boat captain. Green energy companies, government want to put me out of business

It's undeniable. America's fishing fleets and the people who are part of them face wholesale destruction of their way of life. Green energy can't come at the expense of our way of life.
Jerry Leeman is a commercial fishing captain who lives in Maine and sails out of New Bedford, Mass.
Fishing is the trade our family has plied for generations. We’re proud to practice the founding craft of our nation. When colonists first settled New England, they looked to the sea to sustain them. And so it is for our coastal communities four centuries on.
But for how much longer? Federal regulators and foreign green energy companies seem determined to drive us off the water and lay waste to the communities that depend on fishing. If their well-laid development plans succeed, biblical calamity will follow for working people across New England.
