Fishermen back proposed offshore wind ban AUGUSTA Fishermen from across the state gave their support last week to a local legislator’s bill that would ban the development of offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine. If passed, the bill would prohibit state officials from permitting or approving offshore wind projects along the coast. The bill, LD 101, was introduced by Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham (R-Winter Harbor) who is also a commercial fisherman. “It is time to put a permanent halt to offshore wind development,” Faulkingham said during a hearing with the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee. Dozens of fishermen submitted testimony and felt that any development of wind turbines off the coast would pose a threat to the livelihoods of lobstermen.
