This resolution calls for the outright rejection of all offshore wind energy projects in the waters off New Hampshire and the Gulf of Maine until there is a comprehensive understanding of their potential impacts on the ocean ecosystem, the fishing industry, and electricity costs for consumers. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the unknown effects of offshore wind farms, including the disturbance of the ocean bed, the potential release of toxic water from cooling systems, and the overall impact on marine life and fishing livelihoods. It emphasizes that the current pace of offshore wind development is outstripping the ability to address these critical questions.

Furthermore, the resolution asserts that there is no conclusive evidence to ensure that these projects will not harm the environment or the fishing industry, and it warns that the costs associated with these projects may exceed current electricity rates, placing an undue burden on ratepayers. As a result, the general court resolves to reject any offshore wind projects until all concerns are thoroughly investigated and verified, and it encourages neighboring states to adopt similar measures until all risks are adequately addressed.
