Gov. Phil Murphy is set to unleash a new series of climate change goals on Wednesday that will give New Jersey the most aggressive clean energy target of any large state and follow California‘s ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035.
During a noon speech at Rutgers University, Murphy is expected to lay out a half dozen executive orders and announcements around climate change.
The two boldest would transform state energy use by 2035, in homes and on the road. By then, Murphy wants the state to get 100 percent of its power from clean energy sources.
Murphy plans to start New Jersey on the path pioneered by California with a requirement that all new cars sold in the state have zero emissions by 2035.
