He has gone on record, in writing, to us his opposition to OSW. “I oppose offshore wind projects as proposed for New Jersey. Orsted, a foreign company, was given both federal and state tax incentives although through their own admission, cannot reach the targeted gigawatt and targeted time frame promulgated by the federal government. Governor Murphy has provided a bailout for this company using ratepayer dollars as Orsted states such subsidies are not sufficient and that canceling the project in its entirety is not off the table. I would halt these projects going forward.”

Save the East Coast is happy to endorse senate candidate Deirdre G. Paul, LD37. In her written response to our questionnaire she clearly stated that she is against the green agenda which she considers a failure in delivering the jobs and energy for the country.
Paul is afraid that the wind industry is very similar to the solar panel industry and she brought the example of Solyndra that received 535 million from the government and then went bankrupt resulting in thousands of jobs lost and the loss of taxpayers money. Please help Deidre get elected she will be a great supported of our movement.

Save The East Coast is proud to endorse a true anti-wind warrior in the legislature with a record to prove it – senate candidate Holly Schepisi from NJ LD-39 .
Holly voted against the federal tax incentives as well as the legislation Bill NJ S3926 which took away home rule. She supports a full halt of these projects. She has been extremely outspoken regarding the marine mammal strandings and deaths. She finds it incredulous that there is no scientific curiosity by those who claim to care for the environment to conduct a thorough study on this significant uptick in mammal deaths since commencement of these projects.
Schepisi is seriously concerned about the impact on tourism to the shore areas, as well as the commercial fishermen. She said that a 2 1/2 half year joint study between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance documented numerous impacts these projects will have on fish and marine mammals while altering the marine environment.
November 7 you have a chance to make a history by voting for our endorsed candidates. Vote for Holly Schepisi and ask your family and friends to vote as well. If the legislature flips so will these policies.
Save The East Coast is very happy to endorse senate candidate Kristin Corrado, and assembly candidates Chris DePhillips and Al Barlas from district LD-40. Here is their answer to the question about their position on offshore wind:
” Senator Corrado and Assemblyman DePhillips voted against the Orsted tax credit, and if elected, Al Barlas would also oppose any legislation to give taxpayer money to a private company for offshore wind. All three of us are vehemently opposed to the industrialization of our shore.The significant increase in marine mammal strandings and deaths along our beaches, since the onset of the offshore wind farm development can not be reasonably denied as being linked to the sonar mapping that been taking place. Any attempts to deny the connection between the two is simply intellectually dishonest.”
Please make sure you and your family vote for these three great supporters of our movement in LD-40! Let’s win this election.

James Palmisano – Council
Theresa Gallagher – Council
