LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP, N.J. New Jersey is seeking a new round of proposals to build wind energy farms off its coastline, forging ahead with its clean energy goals even as local opposition and challenging economics create blowback to the effort.
Brigantine City Council is encouraging all municipalities to oppose offshore wind and called on the Atlantic County Board of Commissioners to use its powers, including legal actions, to try to stop wind turbine projects from being built just a few miles off the state s coast.
The state Board of Public Utilities on Tuesday opened a fourth round of solicitations for offshore wind farms, giving interested companies until July 10 to submit proposals.
