Summary
Environmental reporter Amanda Oglesby from the Asbury Park Press ( www.app.com ) explored wave power’s promise as a renewable energy source for New Jersey. Though still emerging—with pioneering research at Rutgers and Stevens Institute—wave energy faces steep challenges, including ocean corrosion, high costs, and mixed political support. The discussion also covered wind project hurdles like elevated interest rates and supply chain issues, plus Superstorm Sandy’s lasting lessons on coastal resilience and flood risk. Experience Tidal Flooding Talk every Tuesday at 7PM, America’s leading show on coastal flooding resilience. Hosted by the New Jersey Coastal Coalition, which formed after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it empowers leaders with dynamic workshops. Visit njcoastalcoalition.com to learn more!
