This state is about to get the nation’s biggest-ever offshore wind farm — with enough energy to power nearly 400,000 homes

The Biden administration recently approved what will become the nation’s largest offshore wind farm to date, with the capacity to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

In July, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced its approval to move forward with the construction of Ocean Wind 1, which will be located 13 nautical miles southeast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The project will include 98 wind turbines and three offshore substations to help get the wind-generated electricity to shore.

This marks the Biden administration’s third approval of a commercial-scale offshore wind energy project. The Vineyard Wind project, off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, was approved in May 2021, and the South Fork Wind Project, off the coast of New York and Rhode Island, was approved in November 2021, Quartz reports.

How many whale and dolphin sacrifices are approved for each year?

DefiantMassRINO:
Offshore windfarms do not make economic sense.

They are a negative net-value waste of money, so rich bleeding heart limousine liberals can sleep with their privileged white guilt at night.

Also, they are navigation hazards and disrupt marine wildlife migration routes.

Off of Atlantic City, NJ.  Never mind the cold winters and storms?  This will be yet another 'going green' blunder.

They will be a write off next Hurricane comes up the coast...
