This is New Jersey's plan to become 'the Houston of American offshore wind'

As reported by the Washington Post.

Ironically enough, the new port and wind power components fabrication, turbine assembly, and deployment complex, is to be located at Artificial Island, NJ, near Wilmington, DE.

Artificial Island is already "home" to three large-scale atomic reactors, Salem Units 1 and 2, and Hope Creek.

So-called "routine" radiation releases, as well as the potential for catastrophic releases of hazardous radioactivity, will pose a continual risk to the new wind power complex and port. In fact, those risks will only increase over time, as the three operating reactors "sail" ever deeper into the "uncharted waters" of age-related degradation/breakdown phase risk.
