Long Beach residents are rallying against a proposed wind farm they believe will harm their community.
The proposal is for an offshore wind farm located 15 to 30 miles off the southern coast of Long Beach It would have more than 140 wind turbines and transmission lines that would come ashore in Long Beach and connect underground to Long Island’s power grid in Oceanside.
Neighbors say if the project goes forward as planned, some neighborhoods in the city would have high voltage cables running just 3 feet underneath their streets.
