Response to this claim
Jack Reed said the administration's repeated attacks on offshore wind increased energy bills and harmed the economy.
“But Trump’s repeated attacks on offshore wind are holding our nation back, increasing energy bills, and hurting our economy.”
Reed criticized the renewed halt to offshore wind projects, explicitly including Revolution Wind, and argued that the policy harmed jobs and electricity affordability.
