When all the employers leave and all the employees leave, it should be no problem for NJ to meet these consumption reduction targets.

They are completely looney-tunes. 80% by 2050?

I don't have a problem with New Jersey doing this. However, the rest of CONUS should lock down the current quantities of Electrical Generation and Natural Gas flowing into the state. They want to become the environmental laboratory? It's only fair that the rest of us should help them in every way we can.

Ironic that this douche-bag signs this legislation yet has his own state agencies fighting against the renewal of the operating license for the Oyster Creek nuclear plant, which generates almost 700 MW of emissions-free baseload power. So where are they going to go to get 700 MW of emissions-free capacity and meet their carbon reduction targets? So-called "renewables" aren't going to cut it.

They can't do it. Not without importing significant amounts of energy, probably mostly from PA, where you've got the Susquehanna nuclear plants just across the border.
