Wind turbines are the most visible symbols of the quest for renewable electricity generation. And yet, although they exploit the wind, which is as free and as green as energy can be, the machines themselves are pure embodiments of fossil fuels. Large trucks bring steel and other raw materials to the site, earth-moving equipment beats a path to otherwise inaccessible high ground, large cranes erect the structures, and all these machines burn diesel fuel.

The Sweeney Center for Public Policy at Rowan University is out with a new study that examines the state of offshore wind here in the Garden State, its future and how competitive New Jersey's sector is versus other states. The study, "Benchmarking New Jersey on Offshore Wind," comes as the nascent industry ramps up here and in several neighboring states, and against the backdrop of a heated debate from critics and opponents amid a rash of marine mammal deaths, which has led to protests, hearings, and a call to pause until more is learned.
