Christie's Energy Master Plan

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2011/02/christie-energy-master-plan

The Star-Ledger of New Jersey has a dispatch from Trenton about Governor Christie's revision to the state's 10-year "energy master plan." Quoted in the story are:

• The director of the New Jersey Sierra Club
• The political director of the New Jersey Environmental Federation, who is calling for a "carbon-free, nuclear-free" New Jersey by 2050.
• A Democratic state senator who chairs the environment and energy committee
• The CEO of "American Clean Energy, a solar project developer."

Four of four sources quoted in the article are essentially "green" and/or political opponents of the Republican governor. Not a single one asks why a state would need to have a 10-year "energy master plan" in the first place, or cautions about the problems inherent in such planning.
