N.J. solar initiative getting noticed | Philadelphia Inquirer | 02/27/2010

In Gloucester City, Mike Stanton was outraged to see the panels go up downtown, where historic lighting and new sidewalks were just completed.

\”Is this really the best place to put this? Why not put them out in the industrial areas first?\” he asked.

All PSE&G-owned poles with a clear view to the south are eligible for panels, as long as they can support the weight and do not have more than one transformer, according to a company news release.

But with the new technology comes bigger electricity bills. The program to put solar panels on utility poles is expected to raise residential bills up to 34 cents a month.

| Philadelphia Inquirer | 02/26/2010

\”That\’s crazy, to knock it down for parking,\” George Side, 37, a laid-off construction worker from Gloucester City, said outside the pantry on Wednesday as he waited to collect food. \”They\’re feeding people out here. This is horrible.\” Deanna Porro, 34, said she, her husband, and their three children had relied heavily on Touch New Jersey since she was laid off recently as a department manager at a Wal-Mart and her husband\’s hours as a pipefitter were cut back.
