STOP THE HIGH-RISK POWER CABLES
In Sea Girt, Manasquan, Wall, Howell
|
Sea Girt, Manasquan, Wall and Howell are the target communities for bringing offshore wind energy onshore. The infrastructure project includes 6,400 megawatts, underground, EMF cables running within 10-15 yards of homes, schools businesses and recreation areas. 6,400 megawatts is 10 times the power of the recently closed Oyster Creek nuclear plant.
The federal government admits that the health and environmental risks are unknown. No project of this magnitude has been tested anywhere in the world. Stop The High-Risk Power Cables is a bipartisan, grassroots, self-funded group of concerned citizens. We demand a halt to this project until the risks are objectively evaluated and health, well-being and safety can be ensured. |

“The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management report openly acknowledges major harm to our environment, national defense, fishing industry, supply chain, and tourism, yet they approved it anyway. Governor Murphy and BOEM’s continued push for these projects, despite widespread opposition, shows their blatant disregard for New Jersey families in favor lining the pockets of foreign wind companies.” Jeff Van Drew, NJ Representative to US Congress.
Health, Quality of Life & Environmental ConcernsThe Bureau Of Ocean Energy Management’s Environmental Impact Study on Atlantic Offshore Wind identifies a range of risks but hedges about its ability to control these risks.
