Over the past few months, hundreds of Jersey Shore residents have staged demonstrations opposing Ocean Wind 1, an offshore wind farm being developed by a subsidiary of Orsted, a Danish company.
Some have painted these anti-wind crusaders as Jersey Shore versions of the Cape Cod residents fighting to preserve the view from their multimillion-dollar homes.
New wind turbines, solar panels and other clean energy infrastructure are being built before our eyes, and in some cases in our hometowns.
Oil and gas companies, which have a lot to lose, have exploited this feeling to great effect.
Other groups fighting wind projects say they want to protect whales but are funded by oil interests.
