Statement on RGGI Legislation Passing State Assembly: “Rejoining RGGI Is A Big Step For New Jersey To Become A National Leader In Energy Policy, And Shows State Leaders Are Serious About Investing In Our Future”

Trenton, NJ – Matt Fossen, spokesperson for the NJ Coalition for Fair Energy, released the following statement today after A. 1212 – a bill which requires New Jersey to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and mandates the proceeds from the program go toward fighting climate change – passed through the State Assembly:

“Today’s passage is a major accomplishment for legislators, and advances Governor Murphy’s forward-thinking energy agenda. Rejoining RGGI is a big step for New Jersey to become a national leader in energy policy, and shows state leaders are serious about investing in our future – rather than complacently spending money on the past.”
