What officials and experts are saying 

The BOEM Study predicts "The approximate 200 industrial Wind Turbines (2x the height of the Washington Monument visible up to 40 miles ) planned to be constructed off the New Jersey Coast will cause potential "unavoidable", harm to New Jersey’s shore ecosystem, communities, and economy including:
• Irretrievable loss of jobs;
• Marine Mammal and bird mortality
• Major impacts to historic properties;
• Accidental chemical spills;
• Beach closures;
• Compounded health issues of local environmental justice communities;
• Navigational issues for military or national security vessels."

Unavoidable Adverse Impacts on Air Quality
“The Project would generate emissions that may affect air quality in the New Jersey region and nearby coastal waters during construction, O&M, and decommissioning activities. Onshore emissions would occur at the Monmouth and Atlantic Landfall Sites, in the onshore cable corridors, and at the Larrabee and Cardiff Substation POIS.”

“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.”

"Both the Biden and Murphy Administrations refuse to heed numerous warnings from local leaders, residents and experts who simply ask for honest review and study of the economic, environmental, and national security concerns inherent in a reckless push for massive wind industrialization off our coast."

​​"Murphy’s stated objective is to reduce emissions from conventional fuels to stop global warming. Yet climate models show that the global temperature reduction would be infinitesimal, even if New Jersey stopped consuming all conventional fuels for its electricity needs. For these insignificant effects on temperatures, the governor is asking New Jersey residents to pay some $74 billion to build offshore wind farms that are significantly less reliable at producing electricity than other forms of energy."
