How a New Jersey city is stalling the state’s offshore wind rollout

Construction on New Jersey’s first offshore wind project is set to begin next year, with developers looking to install nearly 100 wind turbines 15 miles off the coast of Ocean City. But the city doesn’t like the plan, potentially derailing the ambitious climate and clean energy goals put forward by President Joe Biden and state Gov. Phil Murphy. POLITICO’s Ry Rivard breaks down the fight for offshore wind along New Jersey and how it could impact other local communities and clean energy projects across the country.   Ry Rivard is an environmental reporter for POLITICO New Jersey.
