LEADING POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP CELEBRATES OFFSHORE WIND STRATEGIC PLAN

TRENTON – The following is a statement from Ed Potosnak, Executive Director of New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, on the release of the draft Offshore Wind Strategic Plan.

“As we continue to reel from the devastating impacts of COVID-19, one thing is for sure, expanding our clean energy sector must be a core component of any sustainable green jobs recovery in New Jersey that builds a stronger, fairer and more equitable 21st century economy for all New Jerseyans. The Offshore Wind Strategic Plan will provide a blueprint on how the offshore wind sector can help get us there,” said Ed Potosnak, Executive Director of New Jersey League of Conservation Voters. “We applaud Governor Murphy and his administration for their continued commitment to establish New Jersey as a regional hub for offshore wind manufacturing, which will help address the climate crisis and create thousands of good-middle class jobs that can’t be outsourced.”

New Jersey League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization whose mission is to elect environmental champions, hold public officials accountable, and support laws which protect our environment and improve the quality of people’s lives.
