EDGEMERE, Md. (WBFF) — Maryland’s governor attends an annual luxury leadership retreat frequently visited by presidential hopefuls, as questions emerge about a Baltimore industrial site that remains mostly inactive despite the chief executive’s pledge to make the state a national leader in offshore wind energy.
Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., said early Tuesday morning during a Zoom interview with Spotlight on Maryland that he is alarmed by what he described as costly delays in offshore wind generation for the state. The state’s only Republican in Congress also reiterated calls for President Donald Trump’s administration to reopen the federal bidding process for such energy projects.
The bottom line is that these permits were rushed through the Biden administration without due diligence with regard to its effect on commercial fishing, the whales, national defense, the viewscape,” Harris said. “There were numerous things that got bypassed in the permitting process.”
Pointing to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s announcement in April 2023 to transition the state to 100% green energy by 2035, Harris said that without new power sources capable of generating enough electricity for Marylanders, the state could face a serious situation.
“They should reopen the permitting process, and I am convinced that if they do reopen that permitting process, those permits will never be granted,” Harris added.
anyone else remember “shovel-ready”?
I thought Andy Harris was with the people in Wicomico and Worcester counties against the wind mills. These wind mills are a scam. US Wind is not even an American company. Why should they be subsidized by Maryland consumers and then our electric rates go up to pay for the subsidies? Looks like the only support we have in stopping this fake green energy is President Trump. Andy, you are quicky losing my support.
I think you misread the quote from Andy.
He’s been against the windmills but stopping them requires working within the control process that allowed them to even get started. There is a lot of reason for optimism that permits rushed by the Bribem regime will get proper scrutiny and will be withdrawn which would scuttle the whole sorry mess.
“… 100% green energy by 2035.”
Loosely translated: There’s a s**t ton of money to be grifted on politicians’ weak promises and inefficient “green” technology, so spend if you’ve got it and we’ll squeeze more out of taxpayers to keep you in the green.
That worthless POS SOB has just got to go!!! We do not want you, Tax Moore!!!! Less Moore!!! Spend Moore!!! Lie Moore!!! You piece of garbage , just wait til election time. You will be so far gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Working class tax dollars at work for Wes Moron to travel,
and have dead beat Troppers escorting that Boy around

Harris also stated ” they should reopen the permitting process, and I am convinced if they do reopen the permitting process, those permits will never be granted.”
These are direct quotes of what I just read, and the last paragraph doesn’t make sense to me, however after reading these quotes it surely appears that Andy is pushing for wind energy in Maryland. I thought he was against windmills off the eastern coast also 7:15
