Hundreds of NJ residents rally against green energy over environmental concerns
Fox News
Hundreds of residents in a coastal New Jersey town rallied over the weekend against offshore wind energy in response to the recent surge in whale deaths.
"Today, the whales are sending us a tragic message that demands transparency and accountability — both of which has been sorely missing from Governor Murphy’s plan to use New Jersey’s coast as the prime location for the offshore wind industry in the U.S.," Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said during the rally on Sunday. "Questions and concerns raised by me and many others have gone unanswered concerning the unexplained deaths of at least 10 whales." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"There is great concern for the potential serious—even catastrophic— damage to marine ecosystems leading to the destruction of the New Jersey’s fishing and tourism businesses if hundreds, and even thousands, of wind turbines are installed off the New Jersey coast," he continued. "Thus far, sound surveys and the underwater noise generated by acoustic vessels have occurred, but next steps include construction, pile driving creating high intensity underwater noise."
