OCEAN CITY, NJ A proposed offshore wind farm continues to draw opposition from New Jersey’s southern coastal communities. Ørsted s proposed project aims to construct 99 wind turbines about 15 miles off the coast from Atlantic City to Cape May. The wind turbines are expected to produce enough energy to power half a million homes by 2024, according to Ørsted officials. Though the Danish energy company has promoted the project as an opportunity to produce clean energy and bring jobs to the area, Ocean City officials are concerned about wind turbines disrupting marine life both above and beneath the ocean, impacting their fishing and tourism industries.
