Garden State Offshore Energy was recently given a $1 Billion contract to construct a giant wind farm offshore in the southern part of New Jersey.

The wind farm will be virtually invisible from shore and is part of New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan, which calls for 20% of all of NJ’s renewable energy to come from alternative energy sources by 2010.  96 turbines will power tens of thousands of homes once the project is complete.
