Quiver AI Summary
On August 29, 2025, Senator Edward J. Markey criticized the Trump administration's decision to withdraw $679 million in federal funding for offshore wind projects, including $34 million earmarked for the Salem Wind Port Project in Massachusetts. He argued that this move jeopardizes thousands of union jobs and exacerbates rising energy costs.
Markey stated, "In unlawfully and senselessly cutting hundreds of millions in federal funding...Trump just signed a death warrant for thousands of union jobs." He emphasized the impact on local workers, claiming their livelihoods are at risk and that the administration’s actions reflect a personal animosity towards American-made wind energy.
The funding withdrawal affects multiple projects under the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) program and the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIPD), prompting concerns about job losses and the future of renewable energy initiatives.
