If you're NJ and you want this, just make Delaware an offer it can't refuse. I think that here the more likely failure was a failure to agree on the distribution of benefits vs. costs.

If we don't plan seriously we will literally be in the dark pretty soon.

There's a deep psychological self-loathing that compels people to try to stop all new energy development. I mean, we all realize that there will be another 100-150 million Americans in the next 50 years, right? Maybe they can all just pull a Google Earth Hour ... but for their entire lives. They can huddle in the dark and cold, but warm themselves with thought of Green purity, while our GreenGoogle overlords fly around the world on eco-adventures. What's dumb is, this just pushes energy development to the more pollution heavy plants of the developing world. Or a crisis will hit and we'll end up grandfathering in expansions to our own dirtiest plants, because new plants are easier to stop than expansions to existing plants. I have no idea if this is a good decision or not, I'll assume the wisdom of the majority. It's just the general thrust that every attempt to provide energy is met with implacable opposition.
