The below comments were submitted on April 3rd this year to the Governor and DEP Commissioner on behalf of the Franklin Township Environmental Commission, Somerset County.
To: Governor Phil Murphy and NJDEP Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe
The NJDEP’s primary objective is to protect the people of New Jersey from environmental health hazards and risks. In May 2018 Governor Murphy signed the Renewable Energy Bill that establishes one of the most ambitious renewable energy standards in the Country. It sets specific goals for the use of renewable energy sources by 2020 and 2025 leading to our required use of Class 1 renewable energy sources in NJ to be 50% by 2030. He signed an executive order directing state agencies to develop an Energy Master Plan that provides a path to 100% clean energy by 2050.
