2020 NJ Senatorial race: on Energy & Oil


Hirsh Singh: Against switch over to high-risk energy systems

Instead of raising taxes to pay for their socialist agenda, New Jersey Democrats passed a law mandating our utility providers switch over to high-risk energy systems. Now, they're planning to pass those costs to you--through higher utility rates. New Jersey taxpayers will be forced to pay at least $300 million per year for energy subsidies, thanks to one of Gov. Murphy's mandates. What's happening to us right now is abuse of the most extreme kind--and New Jersey Democrats simply don't care.

Stuart Meissner: Climate change real, but response must be joint effort

He had much to say about climate change, offering "I believe it's real based on science, but we shouldn't cut emissions while China is spewing pollutants into the air. It needs to be a joint effort." However, he noted that "If we listened to the far left, we would be highly dependent on Iranian oil." He noted that he had read the Green New Deal, and "much of it was not about environmental issues but identity politics."
