Gov. Christie: Stop Hating Clean Energy
Two years ago, you said you were going to be an energy leader. By withdrawing us from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative--which was working--you are getting rid of funding for clean energy projects. And now the draft Energy Master Plan you’ve released undercuts New Jersey’s strong mandates for clean energy, including solar power, and cuts off funding. Governor, send this plan back to the drawing board so that we can reach our clean energy goals.
Why is this important?
Two years ago, Gov. Christie said he was going to be the “#1 number one advocate for clean energy.” Instead, he’s taking us backwards. Right before the Memorial Day weekend, he made national news by pulling New Jersey out of a regional pollution compact that was cutting down on global warming pollution and funding solar projects across the state. Now, he’s just announced that he wants to weaken New Jersey’s clean energy goals, and reduce their funding. Tell Gov. Christie to stop hating on clean energy, and ditch his plan to reduce our clean energy standards.
