New Jersey waters down proposed referendum on new fossil fuel power plant ban
March 4, 2024
New Jersey lawmakers wanted to ask voters whether to ban new fossil fuel-fired power plants.
And then they added a loophole big enough to drive a fleet of oil trucks through.
A state Senate committee on Monday advanced a bill that would authorize a public referendum on amending the state’s Constitution to ban construction of new power plants that burn natural gas or other fossil fuels.
