A STATEWIDE COALITION THAT'S COMMITTED TO ADVANCING THE "RESPONSIBLE
DEVELOPMENT" AND "AFFORDABLE CONSUMPTION" OF CLEAN-ENERGY FOR THE
"GARDEN STATE" COMMENDS WHAT IT CALLS GOVERNOR CHRISTIE'S "PRUDENT" VETO
OF A BILL TO BAN THE PROCESS THAT ENABLES PRODUCTION OF MOST U-S
NATURAL-GAS RESERVES. NATURAL GAS FOR NEW JERSEY
SUPPORTS THE CONDITIONAL VETO REQUIRING STATE ENVIRONMENTAL-OFFICIALS TO
TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THE PROCESS'S SAFETY. HAL
BOZARTH [AS IN "BOZEMAN" AND "BOGART"] IS THE
EXECUTIVE-DIRECTOR OF THE CHEMISTRY COUNCIL OF NEW JERSEY...
(BOZARTH):
"LOWER-PRICES
[THAT ARE] DRIVEN BY U-S NATURAL-GAS DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN A
GAME-CHANGER FOR OUR STATE'S MANUFACTURERS--WHICH SUFFER FROM
ELECTRICITY-RATES [THAT ARE] 74-PERCENT HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL
AVERAGE."
(BRIDGE):
IN 2008 ALONE, OVER 25-THOUSAND JOBS AND 4.4-BILLION DOLLARS OF
THE STATE'S ECONOMY STEMMED FROM THE NATURAL-GAS INDUSTRY. ON A
NATIONAL LEVEL, THOSE BENEFITS TOTAL 385-BILLION DOLLARS AND 2.8-MILLION
AMERICAN-JOBS, ANNUALLY. JIM BENTON IS THE PRESIDENT
OF THE NEW JERSEY SOCIETY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT...
(BENTON):
"ACCESS
TO THIS MORE-AFFORDABLE, CLEANER, DOMESTIC ENERGY-SOURCE WILL BE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCELERATED ECONOMIC-GROWTH AND PROLONGED DIFFICULT
ECONOMIC-TIMES."
