Renewable Energy Transition: Why we need the transition for the Global Warming Response Act
The Global Warming Response Act requires an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However, there is no plan or policy framework in New Jersey that would result in compliance. In order to comply, it is likely that emissions associated with electricity production would have to be reduced by more than 80%. Coal and nuclear are on the wane, natural gas supplied by fracking may have the same greenhouse gas footprint as coal, and thus, the only viable and acceptable alternative are renewables – clean, renewables, like solar and wind.
