Governor Corzine's office could be paving the way for New Jersey's first
new nuclear power plant in 35 years.

Citing the need to generate new energy, the energy master plan released
Thursday says the government "will review siting, permitting, financing
and waste disposal issues in evaluating the feasibility of bringing a
new nuclear power plant to New Jersey."

While the plan was welcomed by officials at PSEG, the state's largest
energy provider, it was immediately denounced by environmentalists.

"They should look at the existing power plants and determine which
should be online, which ones we can phase out, and then — if there is
some gap there in energy demand — you look at the renewable energy first
and figure out how to meet that gap," said Matt Elliott of Environment
New Jersey.
