Jack Ciattarelli pledges to pull New Jersey from greenhouse gas initiative

"Those who cannot change their circumstances must change their attitude." I don't think withdrawing from RGGI will save ratepayers half a billion dollars as promised... it's gonna be a gamble on the grid prices which might not even go in our favor. We're talking about complex markets and regulatory bodies here, it's all about politics & economics... The uncertainty is high

omg i feel u on this one ciattarelli's argument about saving ratepayers money makes total sense!! i've been saying for ages that its all about the benjamins but at what cost tho? reducing emissions is super important & we cant just abandon our commitment to the environment . lets keep an eye on this one, fingers crossed it plays out in a way thats good for NJ & not just good for ciattarelli's campaign

OMG u gotta think about dis... ciattarelli wants 2 pull NJ outta green initiative cuz it's causin electricity rates 2 rise... like wut? isn't reducin emissions supposed 2 b a good thing? & he thinks it'll save ratepayers half a billion dls a yr? sounds too good 2 b true... but is it really gonna happen if we pull out? I dunno... i think we should stick wit it cuz clean energy is da way forward

I'm so done with politicians making promises that sound too good to be true . Ciattarelli wants us to believe that pulling out of the Greenhouse Gas Initiative will save us half a billion dollars, but where's the math behind that? It sounds like an easy fix, but we all know how complicated it is. The problem is not with the program itself, it's with how we're implementing it. We need to focus on cleaner energy and reducing emissions, not just ripping out a program that might have some unintended consequences. Let's get our facts straight before making any drastic decisions!
