Pay attention, and watch the video. One moment is spent on "the whales," and yes, elected representatives are supposed to look out for their constituents, the taxpayers. Most of this is about the ratepayer advocate who advised against welfare for a multi-billion company. Kind of ironic how libs were deep in bed with the big bad evil foreign corporation on this one? See how that works? Keep spitting out your one-sided talking points.
It was just a bad deal from the start. It would have been Zanadu on water, with NJ taxpayers footing the bill on cost overruns for higher energy costs.
Agreed you would absolutely see these things especially at the 13-20 mile distance proposed for the site off of Seaside. These windmills are over 1100 ft tall with a blade sweep of 725 ft. It's the equivalent of an 90 story building. Can you see the lower NYC skyline from Carteret? It's the same thing.
Truly awful. Beaches are just as important as national parks. Gotta protect the view and marine environment.
That was the excuse for killing a new tunnel. The need is still there.
Common sense to tough issues. Unfortunately a good portion of our government has sold out to foreign interests. We have got to get corporate money out of our political system. The nation depends on it.
follow the money is what I have been screaming about the whole time. There was way too much money being flitted about and laws being changed for the good of a foreign company. The whole project was being rushed and shoved down everyone's throats and you can guarantee the costs were going to be 2 or 3 times what they were telling everyone when it was all said and done and NJ taxpayers would be on the hook for whatever it was, because you know, NJ.
Lots of joy in OCNJ today but I'm sure Murphy isn't going to give up that easily.

While I hesitate to say that the Ocean Wind Farm War is over, we had a massive victory today. When this initiative was presented to Ocean City's Council a few years back, it was pitched with a great deal of pressure. Those of us who asked questions were made out to be against the environment...ocnjdaily.com
Oh the irony. Thanks to the GOP, right wing activist judges and citizens united, giving unlimited and undisclosed money to politicians is free speech and an inalienable right. Job well done. But it's Democrats who are destroying America.
The beach. The marine environment. The whales.

They're fighting for whales. What other wild animals and environments do they care about? Old growth forests? Endangered species? The Gulf of Mexico, which is full of oil rugs? Are they Sierra Club and EPA supporters now?
Whales are very important for the marine ecosystem. Gotta protect them and our beaches.
Don't you have more shots to take at Cole Snyder? It's not about whale-loving. Pay attention.Bad news for the whale lovers. Even without any windmill activities, whales continue to die. How can this be???
Scientists finally figure out why hundreds of gray whales keep washing up dead along US coasts
Three mass mortality events have struck a population of gray whales off the west coast of North America since the 1980s, and scientists have linked them to changing conditions in the Arctic.
Just to clarify, this is one company backing out of one contract, among many. Not the end of wind at the Jersey shore. While higher interest rates and other industry headwinds have made major projects like harder, so there is now some industrywide doubt, this is by no means the end.As expected for the past few months, Big Wind goes bye-bye. Trenton got cold feet and Orsted was in deep financial trouble due to increased interest rates:
Developer cancels plans for 2 N.J. offshore wind farms. Outraged Murphy rips company.
The development comes months after the state Legislature passed a bill giving Ørsted $1 billion in tax credits to help keep the project afloat.www.nj.com
He was not sharp, but Buffalo's OL sucks, and the receivers had a lot of drops too. But you are not watching closely enough because he stole your lunch money or something. 🤓
NJ offshore wind may not be dead, but any projects close enough to see from the beach are DEAD. Trenton heard from the people and got scared. Pols care more about their reelection than they do about clean energy.
Residents of the OC led the way on this round of NIMBYism.....and won.
