Submarines operating off the U.S. coast could gain a critical advantage if detection systems are disrupted, leaving the nation more vulnerable to attack.\n\nCongressman Harris also pointed out that other nations have faced similar risks. Sweden recently canceled offshore wind projects near Russia after defense officials determined the turbines would delay missile detection by one to two minutes\u2014a potentially catastrophic gap in readiness during a crisis.\n\nRemarks From Congressman Harris:\n\nTime is not our enemy -- Russia and China are our enemies. Russia has submarines that could come close to our coast, launch a weapon, and not be detected because we don\u2019t know what the effect is of these windmills. The priority must be to protect the American people. National security cannot be sacrificed in pursuit of expensive, untested energy experiments that put both the Eastern Shore and the nation at risk.\n\nTo watch the full video and remarks, click HERE.\n\nFor media inquiries, please contact Anna Adamian at Anna.A@mail.house.gov", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-harris-warns-offshore-wind-projects-could-compromise-national"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9883630555123091, "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"}
