NJ utility regulators are seeking additional offshore wind farm projects to generate electricity, even as opponents of wind power want to pause or halt the projects. Here's where it all stands.
The offshore wind power industry is being attacked by opponents who say preparation work on the ocean floor may be harming or killing whales.
Three federal scientific agencies — NOAA, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the Marine Mammal Commission — say there is no evidence linking offshore wind activities to whale deaths. U.S. Rep Jeff Van Drew, a Republican representing southern New Jersey, plans a hearing March 16 on the issue. On Monday, a coalition of environmental and public policy groups praised the state's solicitation of additional offshore wind projects.
