Explaining Offshore Wind Energy

Patrick Hossay, Ph.D., sits down with the Hughes Center's Director of Research Alyssa Maurice to explain the fundamentals of offshore wind energy from how it works to the size of the turbines. We also dive into the New Jersey public’s response to offshore wind projects, the potential impact of the offshore wind industry on the local economy and jobs, as well as the regulatory challenges that lie ahead. Hossay is a Professor of Sustainability at Stockton University. This episode was first released in September 2023.
