Using words like non-scientific, baseless and dangerous, a group of climate activists on Tuesday condemned linking offshore wind projects to seven dead whales that have washed ashore in New Jersey and New York since the start of December.

BRIGANTINE — A humpback whale that washed ashore last week in Brigantine appears to have been killed by colliding with a ship, according to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, which organized a necropsy of the animal.

Three whales have washed ashore on New Jersey beaches since Dec. 10. Though the effects of electromagnetic fields on marine life are not well studied, their deaths likely were caused by other factors

Despite some statements and media coverage, the NJ environmental and climate community is unified in our support for responsibly developed offshore wind. Please see the below statement from more than 10 organizations making up over 300,000 members.

He's fighting every offshore wind project in the country and recruiting hundreds to join him. Here's how.

A power company behind two offshore wind projects in the Atlantic Ocean, including one in New Jersey, recently asked Massachusetts regulators for a one-month suspension in project proceedings due to difficult economic conditions, high commodity prices and labor shortages, according to Bloomberg.

This is not a contest between land-based and sea-based wind farms, nor between wind power and solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal power. Our choice is between green energy and the fossil fuels that are pouring carbon into our atmosphere and oceans, melting glaciers, raising sea levels, spawning record-breaking storms and temperatures, bringing droughts and forest fires to some parts of the world and floods to others, wiping out more and more animal species, and threatening to make the global climate inhospitable to our own species.

Before Chris Maldonado could hire a team to fabricate the colossal steel towers that will hold clean wind energy turbines aloft off the Jersey Shore, he needed to build a worksite big enough for the job.

The Ocean Wind Pro-NJ Grantor Trust will award $3.9 million to seven municipalities in Cape May, Atlantic and Ocean counties in support of coastal infrastructure and resiliency projects to combat tidal flooding and erosion issues that negatively impact residents’ public health and safety.

At a time where our state, and nation, face intersecting and daunting challenges – from climate change and ongoing threats to our environment, to economic distress, to historic and continued injustices faced by communities of color – this process and the resulting investments will serve to advance social, environmental, and economic goals.
