Offshore Wind: A Viable Energy Alternative
Over Mother’s Day weekend, Donald Trump made false claims about offshore wind energy, stating that it kills whales. However, experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management have debunked this myth, attributing whale deaths to ship collisions and fishing gear entanglements instead.
Despite efforts by fossil fuel lobbyists and politicians to discredit offshore wind, recent legislative victories in New Jersey have shown strong public support for this clean energy source. The pushback against misinformation campaigns highlights the importance of fact-based decision-making in energy policy.
In contrast to Trump’s pro-fossil fuel agenda, President Joe Biden has prioritized clean energy initiatives, creating jobs and driving investments in renewable sources like offshore wind. As the future of energy production evolves, it is clear that offshore wind offers a sustainable path forward for both the environment and the economy.
