Courtney Rebukes Trump’s False Claims on Offshore Wind

January 13, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, in a speech on the House floor , Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) corrected President Trump’s false claims on wind energy. “The best way to cut electricity rates for consumers is to expand energy supply. And as the rest of the world recognizes, wind has to be part of that solution,” Courtney said. “Mr. Speaker, the only ‘suckers’ in this area are policymakers in Washington who are spouting off blatantly false narratives about the value of wind energy.” Image To watch, click here.

For the second time in five months, the 87% complete Revolution Wind project can resume work following the Trump Administration’s attempts to cancel it.
