Environmental group: offshore wind plans are 'too much, too fast'

"With plans for more and more wind turbines off New Jersey’s coastline, the advocacy group Clean Ocean Action believes things to be moving too quickly and at far too large a scale. This week, the organization raised concerns about the potential impact on wildlife, especially on dolphins and whales.

“That’s it in a nutshell: Too much, too fast. And too vast,” said Cindy Zipf, executive director of Clean Ocean Action.

The organization is known for the beach cleanups it has organized since 1985. But the purpose of those efforts has been primarily to gather information to fight plastic pollution in the oceans, she said in an interview Friday."
