In New Jersey....
Under Governor Jon S. Corzine New Jersey's Energy Master Plan will fundamentally address three areas: security, safety, and reliability of prices of energy supply and services; economic impact of energy production, transportation, and end use; and environmental impact associated with the production of energy. Fossil fuel use (petroleum/gasoline) and other human activities have added significant amounts of GHGs to the atmosphere and the weight of scientific evidence suggests this to be the primary cause of the increase in average global temperature. Goal
1: Secure, Safe, and Reasonably Priced Energy Supplies and Services – To
provide safe, secure, reasonably priced energy supplies and services to New
Jersey’s commercial, industrial, transportation, and residential customers,
while reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels and fossil fuel
generation, decreasing electric and natural gas transmission congestion,
utilizing efficiency and renewable resources to supplement the State’s energy
resources, proactively planning for in-state electricity generation retirements,
and reducing the demand for energy. Goal
2: Economic Growth and Development – To
encourage and maintain economic growth prospects for the State by recognizing
and fostering the multiple functions of energy in the economy—as an integral
part of producing and transporting goods and services; as a means of attracting
business to the state with reliable, reasonably-priced energy; and as a
potential driver of new areas of economic activity. Goal 3: Environmental Protection and Impact – To promote the achievement of Federal and State environmental requirements and objectives in an effective and low-cost manner and, where possible, provide market-based incentives to achieve those goals. These policies should be coordinated with the State’s environment, economic, and redevelopment plans to protect and enhance environmental quality, conserve natural resources, and improve the quality of life in New Jersey.
