ReThink Energy NJ informs and empowers New Jersey citizens and decision-makers to support sensible policies to bring about a swift transition to clean, efficient, renewable energy. We advocate reducing the use of dirty fossil fuels and stopping unnecessary pipelines that threaten our land, air, water, health, and safety.
Our tens of thousands of advocates have joined together to support research and information about proposed gas pipelines and the benefits of renewable energy. Our goal is to educate the public about the health, safety, and environmental risks of fossil fuel infrastructure, and to highlight pathways to achieve more energy efficiency and renewable energy usage in the Garden State.
In 2018, ReThink Energy NJ worked closely with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and our partners at the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, Environmental Defense Fund, and the Natural Resources Defense Council to secure passage of landmark clean energy legislation. New Jersey is now one of the leading U.S. states in developing clean, renewable energy sources.
ReThink Energy NJ is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization created in 2015 by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, The Watershed Institute, and the Pinelands Preservation Alliance in response to the onslaught of new fossil fuel projects proposed for the state.
