  • Running Head: the NEW NORTH JERSEY The
    Running head: THE NEW NORTH JERSEY The New North Jersey: Why we need regional planning Andrew R. Herrera Ramapo College of New Jersey THE NEW NORTH JERSEY 2 Abstract Research will focus on the issue of regional planning for greenhouse gas reductions and climate change resiliency in the northern New Jersey region. This paper argues that sound regional planning can provide the guidance to ensure land use and transportation law significantly reduce carbon emissions and help societies prepare for stronger or more frequent extreme weather events through fair and equitable solutions. This paper will advance the case that as the federal government retreats from aiding planning programs in places like New Jersey, the state will need to develop new regional planning programs focusing on New Jersey issues. It will inspect the potential losses to resilient planning should the federal government cut its domestic spending, as is currently proposed, and search for potential policy solutions by analyzing plans from external institutions such as the Regional Plan Association (2017) and Together North Jersey (2015). The documents reviewed argue that the loss of federal aid may be irreplaceable due to the difficulties of cooperating across planning jurisdictions, such as towns, counties and states. THE NEW NORTH JERSEY 3 Introduction Climate change presents two substantial problems for modern societies. The first is that they must reduce their carbon emissions from industry and daily life in order to mitigate further increases in the earth’s temperature. The second is that because of the gradual rise in temperature which has already begun, societies will need to prepare their infrastructure and organization to be resilient against stronger storms, more extreme weather, and sea level rise.

  • DTE Energy, Enbridge and Spectra Energy to Develop New Major Pipeline to Connect
    DTE Energy, Enbridge and Spectra Energy to Develop New Major Pipeline to Connect Growing Utica Shale Gas Supplies to Premium Markets in the U.S. Midwest and Ontario Sep 4, 2012 HOUSTON – DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE), Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB) and Spectra Energy Corp (NYSE: SE) (the “Partners”) today announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop the NEXUS Gas Transmission (NGT) system, a project that will move growing supplies of Ohio Utica shale gas to markets in the U.S. Midwest, including Ohio and Michigan, and Ontario, Canada. The proposed NGT project will originate in northeastern Ohio, include approximately 250 miles of large diameter pipe, and be capable of transporting one billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. The line will follow existing utility corridors to an interconnect in Michigan and utilize the existing Vector Pipeline system to reach the Ontario market. Upon completion of the project, Spectra Energy will become a 20-percent owner in Vector Pipeline, a joint venture between DTE Energy and Enbridge. The new pipeline will serve local distribution companies, power generators and industrial users in the Ohio, Michigan and Ontario markets. It will include interconnects with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, Consumers Energy and, through the Vector Pipeline, the Enbridge Tecumseh Gas Storage facility and Union Gas’ Dawn Hub, both in Ontario. The Partners have received expressions of interest for a significant level of firm capacity to anchor the project. An open season for the project is planned for fourth quarter 2012, with a targeted in-service as early as November 2015, depending on final market demand and commitments.
