Atlantic Shores is disappointed by the EPA’s decision to pull back its fully executed permit as regulatory certainty is critical to deploying major energy projects. We stand ready to deliver on the promise of American energy dominance and have devoted extensive time and resources to follow a complex, multi-year permitting process, resulting in final project approvals that conform with the law.

As New Jersey aims to expand its energy capacity to lead in fields like artificial intelligence, offshore wind is a powerful part of the solution. By harnessing the clean, renewable energy from our coastal winds, we can help meet growing demands while reducing carbon footprints. The future is green and sustainable – let’s power it with offshore wind! https://lnkd.in/ekFXaYHY #GreenInnovation #SustainableFuture 

A new poll from The Tarrance Group reveals bipartisan support for offshore wind. Significant majorities of voters across 12 states support offshore wind projects and agree that offshore wind is good for U.S. energy independence, job creation, and economic growth! Turn Forward’s Executive Director, Hillary Bright, said, “These results confirm that the majority of Americans believe offshore wind has an important role to play in American energy. Voters across the country are concerned about rising costs, job opportunities, and national security. They understand that offshore wind energy is American energy, which strengthens our independence, supports high-paying jobs, and creates critical new revenue streams for local communities and economies. Our policymakers should pay attention to these results and support offshore wind projects that advance the United States’ energy diversity and bolster the nation’s energy security at a time of significant global change.” Support is high across the board – including in red states like Texas and Louisiana. The survey found that states with direct wind energy experience, offshore or onshore, register strong support. Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas all demonstrate high favorability for offshore wind energy, showing that public confidence and support continues to grow as offshore wind projects expand. When voters were provided with information on offshore wind energy’s economic benefits, support increased significantly, even in traditionally skeptical states. In fact, in 11 out of 12 states, support grew to over 70% of respondents. Other notable findings include: - 64-65% of voters all 12 states favor offshore wind projects in their own states and in U.S. waters generally - 58% of Republican voters support incorporating more renewable energy in general into their state’s energy mix  - 68% of all voters agree offshore wind makes the U.S. more energy independent - 76% of voters believe that offshore wind energy provides lucrative jobs that don’t require a four-year degree Read more about the results here: https://lnkd.in/eg_P_thM
