In a recent change of events windmill company Orsted who Murphy bailed out with NJ tax dollars backed out of building offshore wind on the Jersey Shore.

“Today’s decision by Orsted to abandon its commitments to New Jersey is outrageous and calls into question the company’s credibility and competence. As recently as several weeks ago, the company made public statements regarding the viability and progress of the Ocean Wind 1 project. In recognition of the challenges inherent in large and complex projects, my Administration in partnership with legislative leadership insisted upon important protections that ensure New Jersey will receive $300 million to support the offshore wind sector should Orsted’s New Jersey projects fail to proceed. I have directed my Administration to review all legal rights and remedies and to take all necessary steps to ensure that Orsted fully and immediately honors its obligations.

Ultimately, as we have seen in other states recently, offshore. wind projects awarded prior to 2020 have been impacted by a combination of interest rate escalation, supply chain cost increases, and inflation. And while today is a setback, the future of offshore wind in New Jersey remains strong. In recent weeks we’ve seen a historically high number of bids into New Jersey’s ongoing third offshore wind solicitation, and the Board of Public Utilities will shortly announce two additional solicitations related to our first-in-the-nation State Agreement Approach to build an offshore wind transmission infrastructure.

I reman committed to ensuring that New Jersey becomes a global leader in offshore wind – which is critical to our economic, environmental, and clean energy future.”

This is fantastic news for those fighting the windmill project. “The most devastating year in state history for our mammal and other sea life. Record whale, dolphin, and seal deaths. The horseshoe crab reserve was destroyed, along with fisheries, and many other victims such as sea turtles.

With zero say from the people, Murphy with most state Democrat support have handed billions of New Jersey taxpayer money to this project, even after knowing it was going to fail.

40 State Senate Seats and 80 Assembly seats are up for election next week and we need to assist never to fund the largest money pit project the state has encountered.

Orsted departure is just a small part of this story, Murphy Administration is taking more applications on leases and will continue to pour money onto his legacy.

We will continue the fight against offshore wind, as this is unfortunately only the beginning.”
