After a surge in home energy bills that left many New Jersey residents with costs that have doubled, or more, there have been widespread calls for hearings to hold the state utility commission, the governor and supporters of green energy accountable.
State Sen. Mike Testa, R-Salem, echoed those calls and said on Wednesday that much of the blame goes to Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy’s "Energy Master Plan," launched in 2020.
"New Jersey is already one of the most unaffordable states in the United States of America. Now people are being hit with energy bills that are essentially doubled. And look, I get it that it was a hot July, but it wasn't that hot that your energy bills should have doubled," Testa said.

Spain tried the green energy road many years ago
Power bills skyrocketed.
Crated their economy
Every once in a while a new group of Communists come along. All the prior period Communists made mistakes and messed up the implementation.
Today’s Communists are more intelligent and have everything figured out.
Utopia is around the corner and you will be so “happy” with our outcomes!!!!
Power has been coming of the grid at an alarming rate between destroying fossil fuels plants and AI data centers taking power from the residential side. This has been very predicable, I have been warning about this for over a year.
It is going to get far worse as more AI data centers come online.
And the AI is doing what, again? Arresting us for going to rallies?
My own mother was thrilled that her new Apple phone would identify humans in a photo. It scared the crap out of me, though.
No sympathy for anyone living in long run liberal shxtholes.
I live in NYS.
I have it on very good authority that meter readers in our neck of the woods are reporting that people are never at home for readings.
Two problems. Many were at home. And have the security cam footage to show that the meter readers were never there..
What those meter readers were in fact doing, who the heck knows.
Complaints to both the utility and the legislature have gone ignored.
Smart readers serve a dual purpose.
And neither are good news for customers.
In other words: welcome to the suck.
People voted for Democrats to lower their standard of living. How do you like them now?
that is very creepy
Smart meters mean one thing....total control of your energy use.
And not by the customer.
Did the nation vote for the POTATUS...?
our rural electric co-op uses meters that can be read remotely
we don’t have meter readers
too many folks with locked ranch gates
The Green New Steal
“Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies.
enjoy your consequences new jersey. you ain’t seen nothing yet! just wait until that kammy joy hits the old pocketbook.
Green Energy runs on Greenbacks.
When will we learn that we are a miniscule part of the universe and "subjects" of our government.
Same here. Most meter readers they hire are DEI and can barely do basic addition. I own rental property and have had SEVERAL bad reads, “mix ups” at the office where they reversed the meter numbers on a duplex, etc.
One of my (leftist) tenants decided to “fight” the local utility company by not paying and lost. They had their utilities cut off (a lease violation). Wanted me to feel sorry for them (I don’t).
In general, since 1/20/21, electric/gas bills have doubled. Not so much per KWH or units of gas, but via “delivery charges” and “service fees” to pay for others who can’t or won’t pay.
We read our own meters for decades until the co-op hired a former manager of a for -profit utility;suddenly we has obnoxious meter readers demanding gates be left open and dogs be tied.
At leasr the remote meters eliminated the “meter readers” before one got shot.
The trouble with rule-makers is they never stop making more and new rules to justify their jobs.
