Senator Michael Testa has expressed deep concerns following the recent announcement of Ørsted's withdrawal from New Jersey’s offshore wind project. Testa (R-1) emphasized the potential impacts on various industries and the need for transparency in the dealings surrounding the project.

Testa remarked, "I was always extremely concerned about what this project meant to our precious marine life, to our commercial fishing industry, to our recreational fishing industry, and what it also meant to our tourism industry." He further added, "I also always questioned whether this was a financially feasible deal. 9.3 million New Jerseyans deserve a complete and total audit to determine how much the state has already invested in the deal. Ørsted is New Jersey’s Solyndra."
