Jeff Van Drew, a vocal critic of the offshore wind industry, told the DCNF. \u201cThese projects are a burden on our economy, harm local communities and are nothing but a political payoff to special interests. President Trump understands that true energy independence and prosperity come from American oil, gas, solar and especially nuclear energy, through a balanced energy policy \u2014 not from wasteful wind projects that put our economy and environment at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it\u2019s a very wise decision,\u201d Republican Maryland Rep.
