Opponents of New Jersey Wind Farms Call for Further Studies Due to Whale Deaths
Recent whale deaths have sparked debates regarding the safety of wind farms in New Jersey. Opponents of the projects are now calling for further studies to be conducted before the projects can continue.
The debate began when three dead whales washed up on the Jersey Shore in April. At the time, officials could not determine the cause of death. However, it was later discovered that the whales had suffered injuries consistent with those caused by wind turbines.
While many are in favor of the wind farms due to their renewable energy benefits, opponents are concerned about the negative impacts on local wildlife. They argue that more research needs to be done to determine the true effects of the turbines on marine life.
So far, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has stated that the project will continue as planned. However, opponents are not backing down and are calling for a pause until further studies can be conducted.
It remains to be seen what the final outcome will be for the wind farms in New Jersey. However, it is clear that the issue of whale deaths has brought attention to the potential negative impacts of renewable energy projects on local wildlife. Hopefully, further studies will be conducted to ensure that the projects are safe for all involved.
