A statement from Tom Gilbert, campaign director for New Jersey Conservation Foundation and ReThink Energy NJ

March 25, 2019 — “Today, the Senate cast a welcome bipartisan vote for a healthier, safer, cleaner New Jersey.

“These amendments will ensure that the state takes the steps necessary to reduce emissions as required under the Global Warming Response Act. The NJDEP will be required to set benchmarks for reducing emissions and adopt sensible measures to ensure we meet them.

“We applaud Chairman Smith, the bill sponsors, Senate leadership and every senator who voted to make New Jersey a leader in responding to the enormous and urgent threat of climate change.”
