PSEG Electric Customers Heading for Blackouts Under New Plan

Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), headquartered in Newark, NJ, says it will shutter all but its three of its natural gas-fired electric plants by 2046, in a misguided effort to reduce "climate-warming emissions to net zero by 2050." But they'll do it *only* if the government adopts an economy-crushing, totally regressive "carbon tax" (to punish the use of natural gas). PSEG's ultimate goal is to force their customers to use less electricity. That's their big solution. Use less, and they'll charge you more for what you still use. The end result of dumping gas-fired plants is predictable--grid unreliability and rolling blackouts.
