Van Drew and Desiderio Will Pursue Answers on Whale Deaths and Other Windmill Issues
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ -- Congressman Jeff Van Drew and Cape May County Board of County Commissioner Director Len Desiderio today announced they will work together on issues surrounding the proposed wind farms off of Cape May County. With an unprecedented number of dead whales washing up on area beaches with no definitive answers as to the cause of death, Congressman Van Drew has called for a pause of wind farm construction survey activities. Van Drew has been joined by a number of local elected officials and state legislators in calling for the survey to pause. Desiderio echoed those concerns.
“When we hear that no one knows why the whales are dying, but we know it is not from the windmill activity,” Desiderio said, “we can’t help but be doubtful. Until there is a definitive answer that the wind farm activities are not killing the whales, we should simply pause until we have that answer. It might mean the differences between more whales dying or not.”
