If the Murphy Energy plan is going to power New Jersey with affordable renewable energy, then the following questions should be easily answered and documented.
- If wind and solar are so cheap why is the BPU concerned about rising costs for installing the MEP?
- If the solar industry in NJ is so economically strong and is an economic driver, why does it require $125,240 per job per year in subsidies. ($800 Million/6,625 jobs)
- For years the alleged solar costs have been $500m per year. Now we find out the subsidy is $800 m for 2021. Why is there a massive increase if the sector is financially strong and driving the economy?
- The BPU projects and plans wind will increase electric rates by 1% -3% and combined wind and solar by 9%, Who has provided these projections and plans and what is their track record on accuracy?
- By 2050, solar alone will reach 34% of the state’s electricity and yet cost will increase only 7-9% Germany has 33% wind and solar grid penetration combined and its electric rates have increased by 100% in twenty years. Its rates are 2-3 times New Jersey’s. What does the BPU know that the Germans do not know?
