New Jersey residents get more concerned after learning about their state’s energy policies, policies that are just as or more progressive than California’s, a new poll by Independent Women reveals.
Independent Women is a women’s organization dedicated to developing and advancing policies that “enhance people’s freedom, opportunities, and well-being,” according to its website.
An overview of the group’s poll conducted at the end of May 2025 said that some of the state’s policies include “a 20% utility rate hike, a $1.4 trillion price tag for renewables, and the 2035 gas car ban.”
“New Jersey voters who identify as moderate, somewhat conservative or somewhat liberal are in the dark about New Jersey’s energy policies and the implications it has on their households,” the poll said.
For instance, 67% of those polled did not know “relying exclusively on renewable energy sources’ would cost their state $1.4 trillion.
And 52% said that understanding the state’s energy policies will make “the average utility bill in NJ … 20% more expensive” makes them less supportive of the policies.
Additionally, “support for the 2035 mandate dropped by 10 full points,” according to the poll.
