Maine Delegation Says Offshore Wind Development Can’t Be Prioritized Over Fishermen

(The Center Square) – Maine’s governor and federal legislators are urging the Biden administration to consider the views of the state’s fishing communities when reviewing offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine.

Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-ME, and Angus King, I-ME, and U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree, D-ME, and Jared Golden, D-ME, joined forces to send a letter to the Bureau of Ocean Management requesting that wind development projects avoid key lobstering areas.

In the letter, the group of elected officials urged that the bureau work to minimize “all potential conflicts” between the two industries.

According to a release, the letter is a response to the Gulf’s Call for Information and Nominations publication, which invited the public to comment on and assess interest in potential commercial wind energy development projects in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

New Jersey doesn't have a problem with putting wind farms ahead of fishermen and whales. *****rollingeyes*****
