Last week, i wrote a diary about how we needed to move forward on alternative energy sources, questioning some of the delays of making that happen. Today Newsday has an article talking about just how far we are behind schedule:
Adler, and environmentalist Jeff Tittel of the Sierra Club, questioned how the state could achieve the twin goals of generating 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020 and producing 1,000 megawatts of electricity through wind power _ when it has not been able to get the 350-megawatt pilot project in motion.
"If you don't take the first step, you're not going to get there," said Tittel. The executive order was signed by Governor Codey in 2005 for the first wind farm. Now the earliest the BPU thinks they can get the project up and running in Atlantic City is 2012. Why don't we just keep studying this energy source until the next one comes along that we can begin to overstudy while it passes us by. In the search for the perfect solution, we are left with no action once again. |
