SALEM, NJ – Senator Ed Durr issued a statement criticizing Governor Phil Murphy’s administration for its hasty embrace of offshore wind energy projects. The criticism comes after Orsted, a Danish wind energy developer, announced it is cancelling its offshore wind initiatives in New Jersey.

Durr said that Orsted’s decision is a blow to New Jersey taxpayers and criticized the state’s energy policies for negatively impacting residents. He cited increased electric bills and potential threats to the coastline as outcomes of these policies.

The senator called for Republican leadership to steer the state’s energy future, advocating for a shift towards affordable, reliable, and clean energy options like nuclear power. Durr views Orsted’s cancellation as an example of the shortcomings of Governor Murphy’s broader energy strategy.
