| Over the past decade, New Jersey has taken important steps on the road to a clean energy future. These initiatives are now delivering results – conserving energy, reducing our contribution to global warming, protecting our air and water quality and improving public health. However, at the beginning of the new decade, the state of New Jersey’s commitment to a clean energy future is less certain. Dirty energy companies are once again lining up at New Jersey’s doorstep. Newly elected Governor Chris Christie faces a choice: follow through on building a 21st century clean energy future for New Jersey, or slide back into the dirty energy patterns of the past. | |

| Public transportation had a record-breaking year in 2008 in getting people to work and school, using less oil and creating less pollution than driving. People drove fewer miles and replaced many of these trips by using more public transportation. But increased use of public transportation depends on maintaining and expanding current transit funding. | |

| Energy efficiency provisions have largely been overlooked in recent discussions and analyses of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES). When analyses ignore the readily available benefits from energy efficiency they distort how energy and climate legislation, such as ACES, could affect American consumers and the U.S. economy. Experience in the states that have energy efficiency programs demonstrates that efficiency is the quickest and most effective way to reduce energy usage and address climate change. | |

| Between 2010 and 2030, New Jersey will spend as much as $888 billion on oil, coal, and other fossil fuels -- 3.3 times the total earnings of all New Jersey workers in 2007. At the same time, pollution from fossil fuels is the number one source of global warming pollution. High spending on fossil fuels is largely driven by our dependence on oil, according to the analysis. New Jersey is on track to spend as much as $39.5 billion on oil alone in 2030, 80 percent of the state’s total spending on fossil fuels. | |

| A comprehensive plan to make our nation’s buildings more efficient by 2030 could save enough energy to power all of our nation’s cars, homes and businesses for a year and a half while saving Americans more than $500 billion, according to a new report by Environment New Jersey. By renovating old buildings and ensuring that new ones use 50 percent less energy within ten years and generate as much energy as they use by 2030, we can cut U.S. global warming emissions by at least 34 percent by 2050. | |
