offshore wind farm update
Of the five proposals...
... it appears the NJ State Board of Public Utilities has gone with the proposal by Offshore Energy (a venture between PSEG Renewable Generation and offshore wind developer Deepwater Wind) to build an offshore wind project up to 300 MW:
While Jeff Tittel of the NJ Sierra Club chapter has endorsed this effort towards renewable energy ("We see this as a great day for clean energy and for jobs and for the people of New Jersey"), Tom Dillingham of the American Littoral Society is on the record as stating, "I think putting 125 or so turbines in the ocean before completing environmental studies is putting the cart before the horse."
I am curious to find out what Surfrider Foundation thinks of this project, particularly the South NJ chapter, considering that the array (I've heard it is predicted to be expanded to approximately 900 turbines, but I need to fact-check that) could potentially diffuse swells from the southerly direction.
More to come as I learn more.
