Gov Christie Ends Coal Plans in His State

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may not be a fan of Cap and Trade but he does recognize CO2 as something he doesn't want in his state.

"From this day forward any plans that anyone has regarding any type of coal-based generation of energy in New Jersey is over," Christie announced. "We know that coal is a major source of CO2 emissions. We will no longer accept coal as a new source of power in the state and we will work to shut down older dirtier, peaker and intermediate plants that emit high greenhouse gases."
