Rally for Clean Energy
March 11 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join EmpowerNJ and our allies on March 11 for our first big rally and lobby day of the year as we tell NJ legislators and Governor Murphy:
YES to 100% TRULY Clean Energy by 2035!
No Dirty Energy Schemes!
NJ Needs a Just Transition Off Fossil Fuels!
Details and RSVP here
We’re in a climate emergency, and three bills are under consideration in the NJ Legislature that could make or break NJ’s transition to truly clean, zero emissions energy.
- The Clean Energy Standard (S237/A1480) could move NJ onto 100% truly clean energy by 2035, if the right amendments are made to reduce air pollutants, protect environmental justice communities, and create in-state green jobs.
- The Unaffordable Dirty RNG Gas bill (S2275/A1462) would give away billions in new subsidies to the fossil fuel industry for dirty & expensive “renewable” natural gas and keep us on dirty energy for decades. It must be stopped!
- The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (S2425/A3645) has many of the same problems as the RNG bill. It would perpetuate the use of fossil fuels, raise consumer costs, and undercut real solutions to electrify New Jersey’s transportation sector.]
On March 11, a joint hearing will be held on the Clean Energy Standard bill by the Senate Environment & Assembly Telecommunications Committees. This is the first time this bill will be heard by the Assembly Telecommunications Committee, and our first big opportunity of the new legislative session to push for amendments to strengthen the bill.
