“New Jersey is a lapsed state. It has succumbed to the dark side.”
From NJ.com:
Christie’s real sin on climate is that he has been raiding huge sums of money from funds earmarked for clean-energy projects, and using the money instead to balance his budget.
He has already grabbed more than $700 million set aside for green projects. And if he gets his way this year, the total will reach a staggering $1 billion.
What is staggering is that New Jersey allocated this much money to subsidize inefficient forms of energy, at the same time as the state and its residents are financially strapped. Who is angry are the environmentalists and the crony fascists.
