Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Today is Earth Day (although, isn’t every day earth day, just like every day should be Mother’s Day and Father’s Day (via the 5th Commandment)). PSE&G - a utility in NJ, now says that they want to see Congress impose a carbon tax.

The insanity must stop.

If the eco-left is serious about stopping emissions, do something about it. Get out of the way and start construction of new nuclear power plants that can generate sufficient power to run electric cars and eliminates smokestack emissions.

Otherwise, this is all just another tax redistribution scheme that benefits no one except a few who can game the system that the rest of us will pay for in the form of higher energy costs and higher costs for goods and services.

At the same time, a offshore wind farm project that is a partnership between PSE&G and another group is being delayed by a year. Really? Why the delay? If reducing emissions are so vital, why the delay?
