Ask Gov. Murphy to Continue His Leadership on Clean Energy and the Fight Against Climate Change

Gov. Murphy Clean Energy This year, Governor Murphy signed a landmark clean energy bill that requires 50% renewable energy by 2030 and a plan to achieve 100% clean energy by 2050 for the state.

More recently, a U.N. report warned that we need to make “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society” to avoid devastating damage from climate change.

The good news is that New Jersey is already working to lower its emissions and address climate change through steps like joining the U.S Climate Alliance and working to rejoin a multi-state effort called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

Today, help us keep this momentum going!

Send a letter to Gov. Murphy thanking him for his strong leadership on clean energy, and urging him to stop the proposed PennEast gas pipeline from polluting our air and water, and undermining his goal to move New Jersey to 100% clean energy.

The Letter

Dear Governor Murphy,

Congratulations on your inauguration!

I support your commitment to move New Jersey toward 100% clean energy.  I am asking you to keep New Jersey a healthy and safe place for all of its residents by taking action to reduce the use of fossil fuels and stop unneeded new pipelines like PennEast.

A recent FDU PublicMind survey found nearly 90% of New Jerseyans believe renewable energy is important to the overall health of New Jersey, and 77% believe NJ should invest more in clean energy rather than fossil fuels and pipelines.

In pursuit of your clean energy vision, here are some things I believe you and your team should do now that you are in office:
•	Direct the NJDEP to use the State’s full authority under the Clean Water Act (CWA) when reviewing pipelines – and reject projects that do not meet the strict standards. 
•	Require the Board of Public Utilities to develop a strong Clean Energy Master Plan that prioritizes offshore wind, solar and energy efficiency, and stop further investments in fossil fuels that are inconsistent with a clean energy future. 
•	Protect New Jersey’s irreplaceable natural areas like the Pinelands and the Highlands, and taxpayer-preserved open space from unnecessary, damaging fossil fuel infrastructure.

New Jersey voters overwhelmingly elected you to lead the way for positive change in our State, including a new direction on energy.  With your leadership, New Jersey can have clean, renewable energy that will improve the health of our communities and our economy.

Thank you for making your voice heard. Click here to share this letter on Twitter. Together, we can build cleaner, healthier, safer energy for New Jersey.

*Your letter will automatically be sent to Gov. Murphy and his team.
