We are already living with flooding and extreme weather – we need to act now to improve our infrastructure and transition to renewable energy like offshore wind power. We all want a state that’s cleaner, healthier, and more fair; offshore wind power helps us generate renewable energy without polluting our air and water.
The average wind farm (roughly 44 turbines) off of New Jersey’s shore is expected to create 4,300 jobs and add $702 million to the state’s economy. Jobs created may include manufacturing, transportation, construction, engineering, and operations and maintenance positions. These are high skilled, well-paying jobs that cannot be outsourced. Creating a low-carbon manufacturing supply chain will add jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation of materials. This new industry has the potential to be an economic engine for New Jersey and the region.
We want to make sure all New Jerseyans benefit from offshore wind and that New Jersey’s offshore wind is developed responsibly.
