Chris Christie and Pollution

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Today's post is concerning how the New Jersey's new governor Chris Christie will handle the issues of pollution now that he has been elected governor. According to cleanwateraction.org, this is Governor Christie's stance on the issue (Note: These are direct quotes from the website):

• Replenishing the state's bankrupt open space program;
• Requiring the state's nuclear power plants to stop their destruction in and around the Barnegat Bay and the Delaware River;
• Issuing an order to reduce killer diesel soot pollution;

He is also for other issues such as "stricter oversight of Corzine's program that gives polluters control of cleaning up toxic sites" and a more "aggressive implementation of the Global Warming Response Act and Energy Master Plan" both of which involve lowering greenhouse gas emissions and finding clean renewable sources of energy.

We can only hope that Governor Christie follows through with his plans to clean up the Garden State.
