Regulators in New Jersey awarded the rights last week for construction of a $1 billion offshore wind farm in the southern part of the state to Garden State Offshore Energy. The plan calls for the installation of 96 turbines to produce as much as 346 megawatts of electricity, enough to power tens of thousands of houses, starting in 2013. The turbines would be placed about 20 miles off the coast of New Jersey's Atlantic and Ocean Counties, much farther out and in much deeper water than other proposed wind farms. Since there's no shortage of that good ole' ocean breeze, this is a win-win for everyone.
