LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J. - The U.S. Department of the Interior has approved what would be New Jersey's first off-shore wind farm project.

'I think basically this is a mistake. Nobody in the world is siting these large, newer wind turbines this close to the shore,' Stern said. The group's prepared to go to court to fight the project, Stern said.
