NJ the Poster Child for How Governors Cause High Electric Prices

As we've explained multiple times, the policies of governors like Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania), Maura Healey (Massachusetts), and Ned Lamont (Connecticut) are the DIRECT cause of higher electricity prices. And now that prices are soaring, those governors are running away from their culpability as fast as they can, attempting to shift blame (see PA Gov. Shapiro Blames PJM Grid Operator for High Prices He Caused). The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a despicable carbon tax, is one of the root causes. Similarly, energy plans are being forced on the states by these governors, plans that aim to reduce and eliminate fossil energy in favor of so-called renewables (unreliable sources like wind and solar). Healy, in particular, has blocked the construction of new gas pipelines in her state for years, first as Attorney General and now as Governor. One of the best examples of a governor's energy policies coming home to roost is New Jersey.
