New Jersey is getting a new governor. He’ll have to face the reality of growing energy needs. He will need natural gas to meet them and lower CO2 emissions.

About this time last year, I published a post here entitled “If New Jersey Likes Clean Air, It Should Like More Pipelines.” I noted how the state’s natural gas use had increased, especially for electric power generation, which had led to dramatically lower sulfur dioxide emissions associated with coal and oil. Since them, voters there have elected Phil Murphy as their new governor. He’s put Tom Steyer and Maya van Rossum on his transition team, signing onto the extremist fractivist agenda even before he’s elected. He ought to quietly take a step back, though. New Jersey is still growing, still using more gas and will still need those pipelines to move clean its air and lower CO2 emissions.

My last post didn’t address New Jersey’s growth or what’s happening there with respect to CO2 emissions. Here’s how the Garden State still blooms insofar as population growth over the last decade (according to the U.S. Census).
