Co-hosted by ReThink Energy NJ and Oil Change International, at which OCI will release its latest report, “Burning the Gas ‘Bridge Fuel’ Myth. The report’s data and analysis demonstrate that “gas is not clean, cheap, or necessary.”
The United States is moving further and faster than any other country to expand oil and gas extraction. The current debate about the role of gas in America’s energy future is a critical one. New Jersey is at the center of that debate due to the many pending proposals for new gas pipelines and power plants and the development of a new state Energy Master Plan to achieve 100% clean energy, a draft of which will be released in June.
ReThink Energy NJ is pleased to join OCI in presenting how the transition to a zero-carbon energy system is being undermined by overreliance on gas and, in fact, requires a managed decline of gas production and consumption along with that of coal and oil.
