Offshore wind is in its early stages in general here, but especially here. Wind power costs have come down tremendously, but onshore is simpler and less expensive. In a state like NJ, onshore isn't all that viable to scale up. Experience with offshore wind should drive costs down as it has elsewhere, but we sort of need the industry, process, and domain knowledge to do it effectively.

IMO, the question isn't whether the current offshore wind builds benefit you directly. Rather, it is whether offshore wind belongs in the energy portfolio in the long run. If it does, laying the groundwork today makes a whole lot of sense.
