Calls for Wind Development Moratorium Abound at Senate GOP Hearing

Why have so many whales died along the Jersey Shore this year?

No one has a conclusive answer to that question, at least so far. But at a virtual hearing today, New Jersey Senate Republicans still found a chorus of voices pushing for the same solution: pause the ongoing development of major wind projects off the New Jersey coastline.

NJ SEED: A hearing conducted by the minority party can only raise questions and seek answers. The majority party controls the issue and in the case of dying whales is convinced there is no link related to locating offshore wind turbines.
