This resolution calls for the outright rejection of all offshore wind energy projects in the waters off New Hampshire and the Gulf of Maine. The decision is based on concerns regarding the potential negative impacts these projects may have on the ocean's ecosystem, the fishing industry, and the financial burden on electric ratepayers. The resolution highlights the importance of understanding the effects of offshore wind farms, including the disturbance of the ocean bed, the discharge of warmer and potentially toxic water from cooling substations, and the overall impact on marine life and fishing livelihoods.

The resolution emphasizes that there are still many unanswered questions regarding the environmental and economic implications of offshore wind projects, and it asserts that the pace of development is outstripping the necessary research to ensure safety and sustainability. It calls for a comprehensive vetting of these issues before any projects can proceed, urging neighboring states to adopt similar stances until all concerns are adequately addressed. The resolution ultimately seeks to protect both the environment and the interests of ratepayers by ensuring that any future offshore wind initiatives do not pose financial risks or harm to the ecosystem.
