New Jersey is home to numerous oil and natural gas facilities, which would be charged fees under a proposed Climate Superfund bill aimed at addressing climate change.
This initiative seeks to impose costs on petroleum and chemical companies to fund cleanups, mirroring efforts in other progressive states like Vermont, New York, and California.
Advocates argue that it's critical for legislation to force polluters to contribute toward repairing and upgrading infrastructure vulnerable to climate impacts.
On the opposing side, New Jersey's business lobby warns that the bill will primarily raise gasoline prices and doesn't address actual greenhouse gas reductions.
