New Jersey could fairly easily obtain 40% of our electricity from off-shore wind farms. We could even get closer to 100% from wind alone, there's that much wind over the nearby Atlantic, but there's no point in putting all of your eggs in one basket and relying on only one type of renewable energy. Between wind, solar, biomass, biogas and tidal/wave, a state like New Jersey could be 100% renewable in a few years. The biggest obstacle to renewable energy is the entrenched fossil and nuclear energy businsess that have lavish tax breaks and government subsidies. Fossil and nuclear energy have an unfair market advantage over renewables.
