Van Drew and his hearing were denounced, ahead of time, by numerous state nonprofits, including the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, which accused the former longtime Democrat of abandoning constituents and flip-flopping “in order to align himself with MAGA Republicans and their friends in the fossil fuel industry.”

The 400-plus people inside the convention center Thursday afternoon treated Van Drew, a Republican who represents Atlantic and Cape May Counties, like a rock star, giving him a standing ovation as he took the stage. Most in the room wanted to pump the brakes on New Jersey’s plan to build a vast wind farm off the coast, or kill it outright.

“This is the most profound transformation of the Atlantic Coast in the history of the United States,” Van Drew said, repeating the line twice for dramatic effect.
