Long Branch, NJ – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today issued the following statement on the Department of Interior’s historic offshore wind lease sale announcement off the coasts of New Jersey and New York:
“Today’s announcement will help us rapidly deploy offshore wind technology in New Jersey and build on the progress that we are already seeing in our state. We know that climate change is here and that states like New Jersey are on the front lines. Offshore wind promises to tackle the climate crisis head-on by delivering the benefits of clean energy as we transition to a clean economy.
“By investing in clean energy, we have a real opportunity to revitalize manufacturing, grow the domestic supply chain, and create new, good-paying jobs right here in New Jersey and across the country. I look forward to continuing my work with the Biden Administration to combat the climate crisis and invest in our economy for the future.”
