BALTIMORE – Democrats won a resounding victory in federal and state elections, winning control of both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives in the U.S. midterms, as voters delivered a decisive repudiation of the Trump administration’s policies. Stretching coast to coast, Democrats flipped seats that had spent decades in Republican hands and took House districts that had long seemed inaccessible.
In response, Oceantic Network has released the following statement from Liz Burdock, President & CEO:
“The road to recovery for the embattled American offshore wind industry starts today with a new political mandate to tackle the affordability crisis. The incoming Congress has both a directive and the tools to rein in agency overreach. When families are struggling with the high cost of living, the last thing Washington should be doing is stopping affordable clean energy projects and ripping up agreements to bring more power online. Bringing down energy costs means investing in and permitting a true, “all-of-the-above” energy policy alongside the development of a robust grid and transmission network that get power to the people who need it.”
