I mean, if you have to look to something 13 years ago to support a candidate that candidate must not have very good policies
13 years after Sandy, NJ can’t gamble on climate change. Sherrill for governor | Opinion
On this thirteenth anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, climate inaction is driving up our utility costs while putting New Jersey in an even worse position than in 2012, when Sandy damaged or destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes, took 38 New Jersey lives, and caused tens of billions in economic losses — the costliest disaster in our state’s history. I still remember the post-apocalyptic quiet in the low-lying neighborhoods of Jersey City that were hit the hardest. In Hoboken, my wife (then my girlfriend) was displaced from her home at Park and First, where eight-foot-high water marks stained the walls and where we eventually found her refrigerator tossed into a neighbor’s backyard by floodwaters.
And yet, instead of investing in the resilience of our communities, the federal government is gutting disaster relief programs and slashing clean energy investments while our utility bills are skyrocketing and AI data centers exacerbate the strain on our power grid. It’s more important than ever that we elect a governor like Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who will stand up to President Donald Trump, lower utility bills, implement clean energy standards and fight for continued investments in disaster response. (snip)
Meanwhile, climate driven flooding and coastal risk are pushing property insurance companies to raise rates or refuse coverage altogether. And at the same time, our state’s four major investor-owned utilities have increased residential rates by roughly 20% this year alone. Half of New Jersey households now say they struggle to afford their utility bills. This is untenable, and it shouldn’t be inevitable.
Who runs NJ? Democrats. Who has closed power plants, including the Oyster Creek plant in Ocean County, and replaced affordable, reliable energy with expensive, unreliable energy? Sandy was an aberration, and they happen. Flooding has always happened at the shore, because it is low lying, and you have the Intra-Coastal Waterway running down the state from Manasquan down. But, you know, wackos like Raj Mukherji deserve moonbats like Sherrill.
BTW, why do so few Dems give up their own use of fossil fuels in NJ?
