Mayor Rick Meehan and State Senator Mary Beth Carozza were among numerous Worcester County residents and stakeholders who voiced their opposition to the proposed pier at the meeting, arguing the project would have sweeping negative impacts on Ocean City and the Worcester County economy.

But what do we expect from Maryland's political leanings?

Meanwhile, at the broader national level, both Trump and Vance have clearly announced their opposition to wind turbine projects. And other beach towns along the Atlantic coast are also voicing their opposition to such wind projects.

Maryland Representative Andy Harris wrote: "Offshore wind industrialization comes at a heavy cost to our marine life and environment, and is an incredibly expensive way to generate electricity. . . We should never allow foreign owned companies to control our energy supply—much less harm our environment while doing it."

New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew has raise similar concerns over his state's wind turbine projects.

The beach towns like Nantucket are still being impacted by broken off fragments of wind mill blades that have failed. AND that unreliability has occurred on the new Vineyard Wind project, still not fully installed. Imagine parents concern for their children using beaches littered with broken shards of the fiberglass windmill blades.

When Trump was campaigning in New Jersey he took a firm stand against wind turbines. “We are going to make sure that [offshore wind] ends on day one. I’m gonna write it out in an executive order,” Trump told a crowd of his supporters at a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on May 11. “It’s gonna end on day one.”

Earlier messages here have pointed out problems with the high costs of wind power, and the environmental impacts on whales and marine mammals, on the medically needed horseshoe crabs, on the sports fishing including marlin tournaments, as well as commercial fishing.

Then there's impacts on tourism, spoiling the local view-scape. The Ocean City project is scheduled for just 10.7 miles offshore, and substations as close as 8.7 miles. Yet other projects are beyond the horizon, with distances of 26 miles for Virginia's project and 35 miles for a project off of Long Island, NY.

More than double the mileage, has been allowed for others !! Wow !! What a travesty against the local citizens, the real estate, tourism and watermen's businesses here.
