Prohibits construction of new fossil fuel power plants in New Jersey.
This bill amends the New Jersey Constitution to prohibit the construction of new fossil fuel power plants. It defines "fossil fuel power plants" as those producing electricity by burning coal, oil, natural gas, or petroleum products. The amendment does not apply to the repair or maintenance of existing fossil fuel power plants or to the construction of peaking power plants, which are used to generate surplus electricity during peak demand periods. The amendment will be submitted to voters at the next general election.
