Summary:   New Jersey stands to gain 4,313 jobs and $702 million worth of
economic benefits from building an offshore wind farm, according to a
report recently by E2 https://www.e2.org/offshore-wind-economic-benefits/,
a nonpartisan group that advocates for clean energy and other
environmentally friendly policies. The potential benefits are based on the
hypothetical construction of an "average-sized" offshore wind farm: One
that produces about 350 megawatts of energy. Link:  http://bit.ly/2QbZQEU
