That Wanaque Reservoir was So Beautiful


Maybe one of these should go on the Navesink River,
you know,
with views from Blossom Cove Rd.

  1. Well, go ahead and explain what could go wrong. Panels are glass, metal, and silicon. It’s not like he’s suggesting everybody spray chemicals on their lawns that then wind up in, yup, drinking water. Or that we have a water system like Flint Michigan. Solar energy is good. It’s clean and it uses an energy source that is plentiful. Ask anyone who has the panels on the roof of their house. The anti solar crowd is laughably misinformed. And I hope for their sake that they are at least getting paid by the oil companies to shill for them. The future MUST contain renewable clean energy sources. This country is what it is because of our innovative spirit. There are dozens of reasons we need to move away from fossil fuels. Please stop believing the lies spread, through the use of millions of dollars, by the status quo.

  2. the floating solar panels should improve water quality by reducing the effects of direct sunlight.

    1. Thank you Eugene.

      I am so tired of these insincere anti-renewable energy nut jobs. They pretend that coal and oil never had a negative impact on the environment. It’s laughable.

    1. It’s a drinking water reservoir, genius. There was never any swimming.
      What happens in a bad storm? Nothing.

      1. I know people that swim and have docks on a local resevoir. We often use canoes and kayaks. Dont believe me? Google Manasquan Resevoir Kayak Rental.

        Are you a local?

          I hate to break it to you, because you seem so smart, but you cannot swim in the Wanaque reservoir (the subject of the article and of your question). Nor can you swim in the Manasquan reservoir for that matter (you can google that too).
          I am actually a local. I have lived in Belmar for over 30 years and in southeastern Monmouth county for 60 (whole life). My family settled in Asbury Park in the 1920s. I’m not sure what it has to do the anything, but since you asked.
          I won’t expect an apology, or an acknowledgment of being wrong. Seems like society has moved on from personal responsibility. But to answer your original question, yet again, nothing will happen if you ‘swim too close’ because you can’t swim there.

        2. I don’t know if they are a local or not. But theyre right, you can’t swim in either the Wanaque reservoir (featured in the article) or the Manasquan reservoir. For several reasons, one of which is because they are drinking water reservoirs, and well, that would be gross.
          You can google that. I’m actually quite surprised you didn’t before commenting. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good zinger.

  3. closer to Belmar is the Glendola Reservoir … adjacent to 16th Ave in Wall … the site is surrounded by security fence … public access is not permitted.

  4. One thing that is funny (not haha funny) about the “we’re against anything that doesn’t use fossil fuels” crowd, is the fact that they don’t care at all that lawn chemicals are all flowing into these “beautiful” reservoirs. Heaven forbid we have floating solar panels to absorb the sunlight and convert it to energy, but let’s ignore the literal chemicals.
    I’ll bet even the oil company execs who fund all the anti sun/wind propaganda can’t believe how easy it was to brainwash people. It boggles the mind. MAGA followers seem to forget (or, more likely, never knew) one of the things that makes America great: the ability to think like an individual.

  5. Birds and fish poop in the resevoir. Kinda like silver lake. Ain’t nobody swimming in silver lake! It gross.
