25. Beyond my background to understand???
Don't think so.

By rejecting NJ's Clean Power Program, 32% of your electricity will be generated from natural gas, 14% generated from coal and 1% from oil (~47% from fossil fuels).

I will repeat this again...

If you purchased NJCPC electricity, 100% of your electricity would be generated from low-carbon renewable sources.

Some people, however, will choose coal, oil and natural gas - and global warming - over wind, small hydro, landfill methane, PV and biomass.

Here's some more NJCPC options - none generated from coal....
