NJ residents hit with doubled bills as lawmakers fume at Murphy's ‘energy disaster plan,' demand hearings

fter 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-Vineland, 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.

...

Homeowners in suburban Morris County vented about the news on a local social media group, according to the Morristown Daily Record, with a Parsippany resident questioning a $782 monthly bill.

“a Parsippany resident questioned his $782 monthly bill”

Maybe he should question the global warming cult that is destroying the energy industry?

Maybe he should question single-party control of the state.

Maybe he should question decades of Democrat misrule.

Maybe he should question why Democrats WANT your energy bill to go up 10X.

Maybe he should THINK before pulling the “D” lever in the voting booth.

They think their energy bills are high now, just wait until NY starts paying 4 1/2 times the current kwhr rate for “green energy”. (Currently the rate is about $40 per 1000 kwhr the green energy from wind will cost about $180 per 1000 kwhr)

Well there you go again, being logical…

Actually, there is no virtue in voting. Stupid people obviously vote. Duplicitous people “harvest ballots”.

If there is any virtue to be realized, we must recognize that there are many people’s “votes” whom we do not want.

my electric bill hasn’t gone up this year and I am in SoCal. But, I am on Standard Billing, NOT Time of Use. for the 2 hottest months this year my bill was 350ish for each house.

Everyone needs to check their bill and see if they are on TOU or Standard, you will have to call them to change to Standard Billing, but your bill will be less than HALF of what it is under TOU

“… resident questioning a $782 monthly bill.”

Looks like Tony Soprano decided to expand from waste management into power supply.

“Nice little A/C you got there. Shame if sumpin should happen to your electricity supply…”

Great idea

will pass that on

I hate solar but, I told them to buy it with 2 batteries($40K) get a fixed and predictable cost and almost no usage on PGE.

The new Powerwalls by Tesla are amazing and in sunny California can provide ample power to run most homes...

Apparently paying $24000 per year or $120,000 over 5 years is more important....

I grew up in Atlantic City, NJ. Used to be a great place. Lived at the beach. Then the casinos came in and that changed everything.
Glad to not be there now.

We used to joke, “Do you know what the NJ state motto is?” Answer - “You have the right to remain silent!”
