"American jobs" unless they're related to renewable energy. The Board of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut expressed its dismay at the decision, noting that Revolution Wind employed more than 1K local union workers & is part of a $20 billion investment in “American energy generation."

“[Y]ou’re pulling paychecks from working families, you’re pulling apprentices out of training facilities, you’re pulling opportunity straight out of our communities. Every solar panel installed, every wind turbine wired, every EV charger connected, that’s a job with wages, healthcare, and a pension
that stands for dignity for the American worker. You don’t kill that kind of progress: you build on it.”
