BREAKING FROM NEW JERSEY: At a recent meeting on Climate Action at Rutgers University the following bills were included and debated:

1. S237/A1480 to revise NJ's clean energy portfolio. Local environmental activists applaud amendments to the bill as passed out of the Senate Environment and Energy Committee on March 14th. However, the Assembly version has not been strengthened. Groups are concerned that the final bill will include dirty energy schemes that prolong the burning of fossil fuels and increase the pollution burden on EJ communities, so-called "renewable natural gas," hydrogen burning facilities, and carbon capture and sequestration.

2. S2275/A1462, which "directs the BPU to establish program concerning renewable natural gas." NJ environmental groups oppose this bill because RNG is both dirty and unaffordable, diverting investment from real clean energy solutions.

3. SCR43/ACR72, which "proposes a constitutional amendment to make State trustee of public natural resources and guarantee to the people other environmental rights." SCR43 passed out of committee on March 14th and has been referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Many civic and religious groups support the bill!

CHECK THIS OUT: For Earth Day, Governor Shapiro unveiled the solar farms that will supply 50% of the PA state government's electricity needs! This solar farm is one of ten that are being built to meet this goal. The Gov. also talks about PRESS and PACER, the two main elements of his Energy Plan!

Quaker Action MidAtlantic Region will be hosting a webinar on Tuesday, March 26th from 7:00pm- 8:00pm via Zoom. See below to register and more information!

Information

Governor Shapiro has released his Clean Energy Plan, which lays out two major policies:

PA Reliable Energy Sustainability Standard (PRESS)- This expands the current Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard to reach 35% clean energy by 2035, adds a third tier and includes new resources.

Pa Climate Emissions Reduction Initiative (PACER) - This PA specific cap and invest program

caps carbon emissions and requires polluters to purchase allowances. PA will set the price for allowances. Unlike RGGI, PACER will include a refund to customers to bring down their energy bills and insure that no one's bills will increase.

We hope you can join us for a lively discussion. The webinar is free and brought to you by Quaker Action Mid-Atlantic Region (QAMAR).
