WindAction | Lawsuits could delay the start of New Jersey's first offshore wind power project

Orsted also has approval from New Jersey regulators to build a second wind farm, Ocean Wind II, although that project is not as far along in the approval process as Ocean Wind I. The projects also face substantial political opposition, mostly from Republicans, who blame site preparation work for a spate of whale deaths along the U.S. East coast. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that 56 dead whales have been found since December.
