It’s time to repower New Jersey
- With more than 3,700 solar arrays already installed, New Jersey is a national leader in solar power.
- Our millions of rooftops and parking lots could be used to generate a tremendous amount of power—right where it’s needed.
- New Jersey receives enough sunlight per day to meet 100 percent of our electricity needs through solar power.
- Solar panel manufacturing creates 10 times more jobs than investments in oil and gas exploration.
Green jobs, bright future for New Jersey
We’re calling on our leaders to support measures that would:
- Triple the amount of solar power in New Jersey over the next two years, and ensure that 40 percent of our electricity comes from clean energy by 2025; and
- Grow the New Jersey economy by creating thousands of new green jobs building and installing clean energy systems.
The time is now
- It’s time to unleash the power of solar energy to refuel and rebuild our economy and protect the environment. And with President Obama backing these measures, right now we have a chance to stake out a bold new energy future.
- Environment New Jersey has a track record of winning changes to help grow renewable energy across the state. Our members’ support is critical to our continued success.
