Gov. Phil Murphy and the state Legislature should be applauded for their efforts in facilitating the mass adoption of electric vehicles.
According to NJ Clean Energy, non-electric automobiles, mass transit and utility vehicles account for 46% of the State’s net greenhouse gas emissions. If New Jersey can reach its goal of 330,000 registered electric vehicles by 2025, then the state could make significant gains in accomplishing the Governor’s goal of 100% clean energy by 2050. As of now, however, there are roughly 34,000 electric vehicles registered in New Jersey, so there is a long way to go.
HOWELL – Two residents have asked Democratic Mayor Theresa Berger to describe how she plans to back up a statement she has made while in office to stop development in Howell.
The Feb. 9 meeting of the Township Council was held in a virtual manner during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Residents are permitted to email questions to municipal officials.
In January, Berger began serving her second four-year term as mayor.
Resident James Moretti emailed a question to Berger and said, “Now that the election is over, I hope we can get back down to business. You campaigned on stopping developments. When can we see your plan and how this can take place? Do you have a plan and if so, when can we expect to see it issued to the town?”
