movements. Every problem with the electrical system will be blamed on
Renewables and the best path forward will be what the public utilities,
coal, oil & gas and nuclear industries want to happen.
Unfortunately the Democrats can't get out of their own way (as usual) and
can't separate themselves from tax consumers, and the majority of the public
that believes in evolution and climate change and supports the shift will be
faced with no clear choice on the matter.
DOHERTY: YEARS OF WRONG ENERGY PRIORITIES CATCH UP WITH NJ
The following information was released by the New Jersey State Senate,
Republicans:
Senator Michael J. Doherty, a member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations
Committee, issued the following comments regarding the continued and
pervasive power outages throughout New Jersey:
For years, the state legislature has passed bills that require money from
our utility bills to be re-directed to fund alternative, green energy
programs. These government mandates have taken away valuable resources that
could have been used to maintain and upgrade our electrical power grid.
As a result, New Jersey now has the dubious honor of having among the
highest energy costs in the nation, while our citizens sit in cold,
powerless homes.
New Jersey energy suppliers, forced to comply with expensive environmental
mandates, were required to divert their maintenance dollars to satisfy the
politically correct whims of well-funded special interests. It is clear that
this policy is bad for New Jersey, and is diametrically opposed to the
survival needs of our senior citizens and families. The time has come to
reprioritize our energy goals so that New Jersey has an electrical power
system that is economical and dependable.
We must get our priorities straight. Given the choice between a warm home
and more green energy projects involving solar panels and windmills, we must
choose to invest our resources in a reliable electrical energy
infrastructure that provides dependability and safety for our residents.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities must be held accountable for
allowing the creation of regionalized maintenance programs that do not
allocate adequate resources to the needs of New Jersey's customers. The
needs of New Jersey's existing power customers must be the number one
priority, now and in the future.
I will ask the State Board of Public Utilities to hold public hearings on
this issue to prevent these power outages from happening in the future.
