Statement from New Jersey League of Conservation Voters Executive Director Ed Potosnak on President Trump’s Executive Order on Climate Change

“With the stroke of his pen, President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to our environment. His executive order sets our pursuit of clean energy back decades and foolishly seeks to return us to a bygone era of coal mining jobs and fossil fuel production. Trump’s backward views on climate change will not make America great again. But they do show how important it will be for New Jersey voters to elect a new governor who is committed to enacting science-based energy policies and building a firewall to protect New Jersey from the worst of Trump’s dangerous anti-environmental agenda.”
