We were pleased earlier today to think we had sent you our video interview with Lyle Rawlings on an imminent pricing decision that could boost or sink solar development in New Jersey.
It turns out that our attempt was no more effective than the firing squad of violinists above.
Our second, and hopefully final, shot awaits your click.

Solar energy expert Lyle Rawlings says New Jersey needs to encourage growth in large solar farms in order to meet Gov. Phil Murphy’s clean energy goals. He fears that state regulators may not be on the same page with solar developers as a crucial decision approaches.

The announcement marks the end of a bitter feud that pitted environmentalists, Native American tribes, and farmers against Canadian officials and energy industry leaders

Canceled. The pipeline’s developer, TC Energy, said yesterday it was pulling the plug on the project after a decade-long game of tug of war over the pipeline’s environmental impact.
Keystone XL wasn’t exactly an active construction site. President Biden rescinded the pipeline’s construction permit on his first day in office, reflecting his administration’s commitment to fighting climate change.
Why it matters: The announcement marks the end of a bitter feud that pitted environmentalists, Native American tribes, and farmers against Canadian officials and the energy industry.
The former group argued the pipeline would have widespread damaging effects on the environment, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and potentially leaking oil into a critical aquifer.
Supporters of the pipeline said it would create thousands of well-paying construction jobs and bolster US energy security.

A team appointed by the New York state attorney general probing the workplace conduct of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is seeking to determine whether laws banning retaliation against sexual harassment victims were broken.
The attorney general’s public integrity unit is separately scrutinizing whether the Democratic governor misused public resources when his administration provided Cuomo relatives with preferential coronavirus testing and aides helped him write a book last year that netted him more than $5 million.
And federal investigators have quizzed at least five former state Department of Health employees about the administration’s handling of the coronavirus in nursing homes and whether the office deliberately misled the federal government and the public about the number of deaths last year.
An initial state probe launched earlier this year after several women accused Cuomo of inappropriate behavior has mushroomed into a number of wide-ranging investigations in which at least a dozen current and former staffers have been interviewed, according to eight people familiar with the various inquiries who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the cases are ongoing.

TUCKERTON – A 2.4 magnitude earthquake was recorded in New Jersey on Wednesday, and the effects of it were felt elsewhere in the area.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 7:52 a.m. quake was at a depth of 5.0 kilometers, or 3.1 miles, centered in Tuckerton in Ocean County.
According to the USGS website, more than 70 responses were logged saying the earthquake had been felt (see map below).
Here is where it happened (the orange star) and here is where it was felt – blue indicates that the tremors could be felt, but they were likely weak.
It’s among the biggest to impact New Jersey since a 3.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Freehold last fall, and the effects of that were felt across the state.
