New Jersey is about to pour $100 MILLION in taxpayer subsidies into a risky scheme to install windmills off of New Jersey's coast!

The Beacon Hill Institute cost analysis of this misguided project shows...

• The project would produce a net cost of $3.245 billion to New Jersey, within a range of $2.106 billion and $4.137 billion,

• New Jersey’s electricity prices will increase by 2.1 percent, in 2017, within a range of 0.5 percent and 4.2 percent; and

• From 2017 to 2036, the average household ratepayer will pay $431 in higher electricity costs; while the average commercial ratepayer will pay an extra $3,054 and the average industrial ratepayer an extra $109,335.

It's difficult to deny that many of the gains made by unions in the past several decades have been important protections of the individual's workplace rights. Everything from worker pay, workplace safety, benefits and hours worked have improved dramatically from the days before collective bargaining agreements. The rise of the middle class was accomplished through the collective hard work of our parents and grandparents, many of whom were represented by a union.
