Candidate Pledges to End Offshore Wind Projects and Reintroduce Natural Gas and Nuclear Power

Somerville, NJ — Gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is sounding the alarm on what he calls an “avoidable energy crisis” in New Jersey, pointing to skyrocketing utility bills and failed green energy initiatives as the primary culprits. Ciattarelli took aim at Democratic nominee Mikie Sherrill and Governor Phil Murphy for championing offshore wind energy and electric vehicle mandates, which he argues are driving energy costs out of control.
“Energy prices aren’t rising because of some nonprofit. That’s nonsense,” said Ciattarelli. “They’re going up because Governor Murphy, Mikie Sherrill, and Trenton Democrats have prioritized expensive, unreliable offshore wind and radical energy mandates over common sense.”
Ciattarelli blasted the Murphy administration for backing offshore wind farms that have yet to deliver on promised results. He also criticized the push to phase out natural gas and the rollout of what he called “unrealistic electric vehicle mandates,” saying such policies have made New Jersey dependent on importing electricity from neighboring states — at inflated costs.
🔌 Ciattarelli’s Energy Plan for New Jersey
If elected governor, Ciattarelli pledges to:
-
Ban offshore wind projects that have failed to deliver affordable, reliable energy.
-
Reintroduce natural gas and nuclear energy as core components of the state’s energy mix.
-
Revise New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan to promote affordable, clean, and diversified energy.
-
Protect ratepayers from costly and politically driven energy experiments.
“As Governor, I’ll deliver energy that is safe, clean, and — most importantly — affordable for working families and businesses across the state,” Ciattarelli said.
💡 The Bigger Picture
New Jersey residents have faced rapidly rising utility bills in recent years, with many blaming aggressive renewable energy mandates that critics say lack the infrastructure or economic planning needed to succeed. Proponents of offshore wind argue the technology is essential to fighting climate change, but opponents like Ciattarelli say the current approach is both fiscally and environmentally unsustainable.
Ciattarelli’s remarks come as energy debates heat up ahead of the next gubernatorial election, where affordability, sustainability, and reliability will likely be key issues for voters.
📣 What’s Next?
As Ciattarelli ramps up his campaign, he’s calling on voters to demand accountability from state leaders who have “pushed unaffordable and unrealistic policies” on New Jersey families. His energy platform positions him as a voice for pragmatic, diversified solutions amid what he describes as a crisis fueled by ideology, not innovation.

Murphy 2.0 blames the higher energy bills on everything except the Democrats in total control of Trenton. She has no plan.
