Murphy’s wind turbine project could be stopped by little ol’ Ocean City

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or independent, you have to know Phil Murphy is as slick and slippery as they come. Rather than go through the Legislature for approval of his climate cult schemes, he does it through the regulatory process. This way you have no say in the matter. It just gets rammed through by way of the BPU or the DEP. They’re made up of unelected bureaucrats appointed by the governor. Back in March Murphy chose not to . . . Complete story »

Offshore wind foes sue New Jersey and Danish turbine developer over tax break

Opponents of offshore wind projects are suing New Jersey and the Danish wind energy developer Orsted over a lucrative tax break the state approved for the company, saying it is illegal because the law was written to benefit only one entity. The lawsuit was filed Thursday by two residents’ groups that are opposed to offshore wind projects and three electricity customers from Ocean City who seek to overturn the law. They say it gives Orsted about $1 billion in tax . . . Complete story »

Lawsuit challenges constitutionality of wind farm tax credits

Two non-profit organizations opposing New Jersey’s plan to build offshore wind turbines have filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the state providing nearly $1 billion in tax credits as illegal special legislation. “The Legislature’s giveaway of federal tax credits to Orsted benefits a single company in violation of the New Jersey Constitution,” said Bruce Afran, the attorney for the two groups, Protect Our Coast NJ and Defend Brigantine Beach. “In New Jersey, laws that favor a single private party . . .

Cost of being first in offshore wind is growing for New Jersey

The bills for early adoption of offshore wind are starting to come in, and they are substantial. Some people love to be early adopters, among the first to buy and use a new piece of technology. Getting the advantages of a new phone, diet drug or electric car before others may bring fun and status – almost inevitably at a higher cost than when the market is bigger and more developed. New Jersey wasn’t the first East Coast state to commit . . . Complete story »

Murphy gives billion dollar bailout to foreign offshore wind farm company

New Jersey has recently faced controversy and concerns over a decision to provide a $1 billion bailout to Ørsted, a Danish wind developer, for their offshore wind project. The move has drawn criticism from some politicians and sparked discussions about the cost implications for New Jersey ratepayers. Under the agreement, New Jersey families and businesses have been experiencing increased electricity bills to support the development of offshore wind farms, detractors claim. Ørsted was expected to reimburse ratepayers to offset the . . . Complete story »

Diane Wieland, the county’s tourism director, told The Epoch Times that in 2022 the . . . Complete story »

Wind farm off New Jersey coast wins Biden’s approval as locals balk

The Biden administration on Wednesday approved Orsted A/S’s Ocean Wind 1 project, setting the stage for installation of as many as 98 turbines in waters off New Jersey over the opposition of some local residents. The approval represents the third commercial-scale project of its kind in federal waters to win the US government’s backing – all under President Joe Biden – and another step toward his goal of installing 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by the end of the decade.
