Chris Smith (R-NJ) today issued the following statement in response to the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s approval of the construction and operations plan for the Atlantic Shores South offshore wind proposal:\n\n\u201cThe Biden-Harris Administration has foolishly greenlighted a catastrophe in the making by approving the construction and operations plan for the Atlantic Shores South offshore wind project.\n\nAllowing this project to move forward with construction when other projects have been blatantly unsafe and unviable makes no sense whatsoever.\n\nDuring this past summer, several beaches in Massachusetts were littered with large, sharp fiberglass shards when a blade from a Vineyard Wind turbine failed disastrously. Just last week, the manufacturer of these blades announced they would be laying off as many as 900 workers citing industrywide challenges for offshore wind.\n\nHere in New Jersey, another offshore wind project was forced to pause its project at least through December\u2014and potentially longer\u2014because the company in charge of the project could not secure a viable turbine blade manufacturer.\n\nTo add insult to injury, the approval of each new offshore wind project means higher electricity costs for New Jersey ratepayers.\n\nIt\u2019s long past time the Biden-Harris Administration and Governor Murphy come to their senses and stop propelling this train wreck in slow motion.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://chrissmith.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=413376"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8146902546286583, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
