We are a group of citizens working together to save Long Beach Island and the ocean from the destructive impact of the proposed wind project, and offer sensible renewable energy alternatives. We are a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization and do not endorse any candidates or politicians, but we do aggressively pursue programs, policies, and actions to protect the Island. See our fact-based research, keep informed, and find out how you can help us.

Our latest letter to SaveLBI supporters.
Dear supporters,
​
The crowds may be dwindling, but our work effort to protect the Island and the ocean is not. Now that the Atlantic Shores project off Long Beach Island (LBI) has been federally approved we are intensely engaged in lawsuit preparation and plan to file a series of complaints within the next two months.
​
We have also been trying to reach persons and businesses in other parts of the State who may not realize that even if they are not directly affected by the shore impact of this project, they will be affected in their pocketbooks, particularly in their electric bills.
Regarding those bills, in the past year Statewide average residential electricity rates increased by about 15 percent. This is just the beginning. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has guaranteed higher prices for two new offshore wind projects and is now considering a more highly subsidized price for the Atlantic Shores project. Together this will increase residential bills by another 23 percent, commercial bills by 27 percent and industrial bills by 30 percent. For the full offshore wind program, we expect these increases to almost double.
In a competitive world, this is economic suicide and must be moderated. Given all the other problems with the Atlantic Shores project as described in the attached letter sent to all our State and federal representatives, the obvious smart thing for the BPU to do is to not approve the Atlantic Shores project. We urge you to send that message to the BPU, and to our elected representatives more inland and north of LBI.
We continue to raise funds to support our legal effort regarding this project through our website, www.savelbi.org. In that regard, we invite you to be a sponsor or foursome for our SaveLBI Golf Classic on September 24, 2024 at the LBI National Golf & Resort, 99 Golf Road, in Little Egg Harbor. Please see the link below and contact us with any questions.
