Local fishermen slam Biden administration’s newly unveiled plans to industrialize Gulf of Maine
Fox News
A coalition of 17 fishing associations are criticizing the Biden administration for its newly unveiled plans to build wind farms off the coast of Maine.
Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The agency boasted that, in support of the Biden administration’s goals for deploying 30 GW of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035, the Gulf of Maine WEA surpasses the current state goals for offshore wind energy in the Gulf of Maine, which is 10 GW for Massachusetts and 3 GW for Maine.
But a coalition of 17 fishing associations say the move is "the culmination of a rushed development process that is poorly informed on economic, scientific, environmental and cultural issues of paramount importance."
