TRENTON, NJ – Senate and Assembly GOP leaders in Trenton released a video showing their vision of life in Phil Murphy’s future New Jersey where everyone used electric appliances, electric heat and electric cars. Entitled “thunderstruck” the video ends with the power grid being overloaded and a power outage.

Concerns about the financial implications, consumer options, and energy reliability in New Jersey have emerged due to Gov. Phil Murphy’s determined push towards greener energy solutions. Assembly Republicans provide a perspective into the potential future of New Jersey under the influence of Murphy’s energy decisions in their latest YouTube video titled “Murphy’s Law.”

Murphy proclaimed on July 17 a prospective administrative modification prohibiting the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles, instead compelling electric vehicle sales in the state by 2035. Further, on July 26, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities gave the green light to contentious actions, urging property owners to make a switch from natural gas heating systems to electric ones.

Specialists in the field are cautioning that the current state electricity grid might be ill-equipped to accommodate the surge in electric vehicles and domestic electrical appliances. Projections from Murphy’s energy blueprint suggest a potential doubling or even tripling of energy demands due to these policies.

Such endeavors paint a costly and uncertain future for the residents of New Jersey. An independent nonprofit organization has deduced that achieving the governor’s ambitious energy targets might place a hefty $1.4 trillion price tag on New Jersey citizens.

For individuals interested in delving deeper into the proposed electric vehicle policy, pertinent details can be accessed from:
