Editing Marlboro Township, New Jersey (section)

====40% Green====
In June 2009, Marlboro Township Municipal Utilities Authority (MTMUA) deployed a 900&nbsp;kW solar power array from Sharp that will enable the MTMUA to meet nearly 40% of its electricity needs with emissions-free solar-generated power. This is considered one of the largest of its kind in the East. This solar energy system will reduce New Jersey CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by more than {{convert|4200000|lb|abbr=on}} annually; SO<sub>2</sub> emissions by {{convert|28000|lb|abbr=on}}; and NO<sub>2</sub> emissions by {{convert|18000|lb|abbr=on}}., as well as eliminating significant amounts of mercury.<ref>Staff.
