Ciattarelli Accuses Murphy of Power Plant Closures in NJ Governor Race
The New Jersey governor race has heated up with energy prices taking centre stage. Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli has accused Governor Phil Murphy and the Democrats of shutting down six power plants, contributing to supply issues and higher bills for ratepayers.
Ciattarelli, running against Mikie Sherrill, has made soaring electric bills a key campaign issue. He claims that the closure of six power plants by Murphy's administration has exacerbated the problem. However, fact-checking reveals no evidence supporting Ciattarelli's claim that the Murphy administration shut down these plants.
While it's true that the number of operational power plants in New Jersey has decreased, this is not due to any direct action by the Murphy administration. Instead, it's a result of market forces and aging infrastructure.
Despite Ciattarelli's accusations, no evidence supports the claim that Governor Murphy's administration shut down six power plants. Energy prices remain a significant concern in the governor race, with both Ciattarelli and Sherrill focusing on the issue. Voters await concrete solutions from the candidates to tackle the rising costs.
