Control of the governor’s seat in New Jersey is moving to a
Democrat — a shift that could be a big win for wind power in the state’s
waters.
Phil Murphy won the New Jersey gubernatorial election
yesterday over Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
Despite having legislation in place since 2010 calling for
mechanisms to support offshore wind development, including authorization of
offshore wind energy credits, New Jersey never achieved any progress on that
front.
