Hochul veto throws Long Island offshore wind project in doubt
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill that would have expedited an offshore wind project off the coast of Long Island and allowed for a transmission line under the public beach in the city of Long Beach.
Long Beach City Council President John Bendo says residents are acutely aware of rising sea levels and the need for more renewable energy, but that they opposed bringing the power transmission line through the center of town and its beach. “There's going to be opposition to some of this stuff, that's fine,” Alex Beauchamp, regional director for Food & Water Watch, said in an interview. “But we have to be tougher about it. If we're serious that we need to build it then we have to build it.”
