There is no better place to anchor offshore wind development than right here at the epicenter of the nation’s fast-emerging offshore wind supply chain at the New Jersey Wind Port.
Rev. Ronald Tuff is a GreenFaith New Jersey Organizer, where he specializes in organizing Black churches for environmental leadership. Ed Potosnak is the executive director of New Jersey LCV. The organization works to elect environmentally responsible candidates to state and local offices. They say New Jerseyans, especially those in our Black and brown communities have borne the unjust burden of pollution in our state.
We also applaud the state’s efforts to develop new clean energy industries in our state and the potential to benefit communities of color through business ownership and family-sustaining jobs in the clean, renewable energy sector.for the state, aiming to reach 11,000 MW by 2040. We support responsibly developed offshore wind to improve air quality while protecting our communities and our oceans from their number one threat — climate change.
is moving forward with a permanent community solar program. New Jersey has a long history of racial residential segregation that has deprived many people of color of safe, secure, energy-efficient housing. The money collected from businesses and working families’ energy bills is supposed to fund energy cost-saving projects to insulate and weatherize homes of low-income families. Instead of helping reduce costs for families, each year these funds are taken and diverted for other purposes – further burdening working families with unnecessarily higher bills, not to mention efforts to tackle our climate crisis.
We are proud of the work New Jersey LCV and GreenFaith, along with our partners, are doing to support clean energy legislation and programs that will be a win for the environment, workers, businesses, and New Jersey families across the board.
