An epic brawl may soon be starting among activists over dead whales and wind turbine farms.
Following the eighth dead whale washing up in the region earlier this week, calls are growing for a pause on offshore wind activity.
The bill would put the state on the path to get 100 percent of its electricity from zero carbon sources by 2035 — the most aggressive clean energy goal of any large state.
Since December, at least nine whales have been stranded on beaches in New Jersey and New York.
Environmentalists, fishing groups and federal officials are refuting claims that offshore wind farm construction may have caused a string of whale deaths.
