New Energy Master Plan explores ways to deploy infrastructure for alternative works

>New Energy Master Plan explores ways to deploy infrastructure for alternative works


The state should explore the possibility of establishing a transportation infrastructure bank to support the increased use of alternatively fueled vehicles, according to the latest version of the Energy Master Plan.
While providing few details on how such a proposal would work, the recommendation is being welcomed by various clean energy advocates. Some of them have been frustrated by the slow pace of developing an infrastructure in New Jersey that would spur people to choose cleaner-running vehicles over those powered by gasoline or diesel.

“It’s a good way to go,” said Chuck Feinberg, chairman of the New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of alternative transportation fuels. “In the current climate, we’re not going to get any grant program.”  (Johnson, NJ Spotlight)
