NEW JERSEY LCV APPLAUDS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S FIRST OFFSHORE WIND SALE
The following is a statement from Ed Potosnak, Executive Director, New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, on the Biden Administration’s first offshore wind lease sale:
“In his action today, President Biden is clearly highlighting his continued commitment to taking quick action to address our growing climate crisis. Today’s announcement by the Biden administration to lease areas off the Jersey Shore will accomplish two goals: expand access to clean, renewable offshore wind while creating family-sustaining union jobs to build a 21st century clean energy economy. We look forward to working with Governor Murphy and his administration on getting projects permitted for approval in these new leasing areas as quickly as possible even as we continue our advocacy for Build Back Better, the president’s signature initiative to fight climate change by investing in policies, like offshore wind, that create jobs while protecting our communities and curbing climate pollution.”
