Worthless RINO. Does he even care about the impact on the people in coal mining states like MT, WV, KY? Precisely how much coal is mined in NJ? And all for ephemeral, unproven claims about coal and the environment.

"Washington Republicans are decrying President Obama's plan to cut carbon emissions from energy plants 30 percent as a job and economy killer, but New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's EPA welcomed the move as the right thing to do--setting up a potential 2016 GOP presidential fight over green energy initatives.

New Jersey is among the hardest hit states in the Obama plan, with a demand for 43 percent reduction in emissions from fossil-fueled power plants by 2030. But state officials said less than 3 percent of the state’s electricity comes from coal plants." [So why the hell should they or Christie care how it affects others?]

"According to an Associated Press report, New Jersey's Environmental Protection Department “welcomed Monday's announcement.” A spokesman told the AP that the state had already moved toward cleaner energy and had “beaten EPA target emissions rates for the past several years.”

Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, also of New Jersey, explained that the rules will help ease climate change."
