and make it permanently dependent on dangerous natural gas? There is huge opposition here to the Penn East pipeline and the reality is that so called "renewable energy" has not, is not, and will not prevent the dependence on dangerous natural gas. In fact, the so called "renewable energy" industry would go out of business in a New York minute without access to gas, since it's widely reported, especially in New Jersey, that the sun goes down every night, and sometimes, tonight for instance, the wind doesn't blow.
So called "renewable energy" hasn't worked, isn't working, and it won't work to prevent climate change. The trillions squandered on it in the last ten years has led to the acceleration, and not the deceleration of the degradation of the atmosphere. It's not "green," - since it requires the mining of increasing rare and often toxic metals and has a low energy to mass ratio. It's not sustainable, it's not reliable and it's not cheap. It is intrinsically a system which requires redundancy.
I'm glad to see someone running other than Phil Murphy, because I'm not for nomination by acclimation, not because I have any real problem with Phil Murphy. Now I feel better, since I can vote for Phil knowing that he has some opposition.
I don't want wind turbines off the shores of New Jersey. They don't last even 25 years before they become trash that needs to be hauled away.
The glib popularity of so called "renewable energy" is a crime against all future generations.
New Jersey already has some of the cleanest electricity in the United States. 50% of it comes from nuclear energy.
