This report examines the effects of three proposed offshore energy systems on the coastal areas of New Jersey and Delaware. The three systems are: exploration for and development of offshore oil and gas, deepwater ports for supertankers, and floating nuclear powerplants. The report specifically delineates possible actions Congress may want to consider in legislating for the offshore energy systems, analyzes past and future government actions, presents the possible economic, social, political, institutional, and legal impacts of implementing the technologies, and the implications of not implementing the technologies for New Jersey and Delaware.
