No! Multiple scientific studies have concluded that the offshore wind industry does not propose a threat to whales. In fact, offshore wind will help the whales by reducing carbon emissions and lowering ocean temperatures, whales won’t have to leave their normal areas to find food. MORE

For the majority of projects now under development in New York, they will be hard, if not impossible, to see from shore with the naked eye. Currently, only the Empire Wind turbines, which are located 14 nautical miles from shore, will be barely visible, and only under the clearest weather conditions. All other New York projects are further, at least 21 to 63 miles away from the New York coastline and will not be visible from shore.

Currently, NYSERDA estimates an average bill impact of $0.95 per month, but costs continue falling. In Europe, where offshore wind has been in the mix for 30 years, prices are already competitive with traditional sources. We expect the impact to ratepayers to only improve as this industry evolves.

Absolutely! It’s important to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change for the benefit of all. We saw in 2023 how the Canadian wildfires affected the New York air quality. Offshore wind is part of the larger solution to increase the health of all.

Nope, The World Health Organization's website provides information about EMF and states: Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health. Offshore wind power cables fall well below allowable levels. For more.
