The race is on to see who hits the green energy wall of impossibility first. California, Germany and the UK (the “Poseurs”) might seem to have leapt early into the lead positions. But New York is now making a strong sprint to catch and surpass them, so it can be the first to splatter its citizens’ flesh and blood all over the impenetrable barricade.
The Poseurs accumulate vast green progressive virtue credits for ridiculous promises, but their promises all have dates so far in the future that today’s politicians will be long gone when the crash detonates. Germany promises 100% of electricity from renewables by 2035. Whoopie! Chancellor Scholz will be out tending his unfertilized Spargel gardens long before then. In California they don’t promise 100% renewable electricity until 2045, by which time Governor Newsom will likely be not just retired but dead.
Who has sufficiently pure cult adherence to set firm green energy deadlines with real consequences in the here and now? That task has fallen to the true climate heroes here in New York City.
New York City’s bid to create the first real test of an impossible green energy deadline is found in its Climate Mobilization Act of 2019, the key part of which goes by the name Local Law 97. LL97 (formal name: New York City Administrative Code Sections 28-320 and 28-321) imposes energy efficiency standards on large residential buildings starting in 2024 — next year. Buildings that fail to meet the standards are subject to large and accelerating fines starting right away.

No great loss.
Who cares about Democrat lives?
Sell and leave or just leave.
Let them eat popsickles.
So glad I escaped from that shthole 12 years ago. Anyone moving to NYC now is out of their mind.
***Chancellor Scholz will be out tending his unfertilized Spargel gardens long before then.***
Wonder if he will be returning to the use of “night soil” for fertilizer. Don’t want to pollute those waterways now do they?
Recipe for tax increases in the future: legislate environmental demands impossibly costly to implement, and then collect exorbitant financial penalties in their place. Starting in New York, coming to a Democrat-run hellhole near you later.
I think the SF Bay Area said by 2027 no more gas appliances. Once yours breaks and cannot be easily fixed, you are SOL.
So that means that ANYONE with gas will not have to get a high-current hookup for both water heating, space heating, stove, and sometimes dryer. My guess is that 90% or more of those homes don’t even have enough capacity going to their circuit breaker panel from the pole - so they’re looking at a third mortgage to replace their water heater (most people in CA already have a second mortgage in order to ‘extract equity’ from their homes).
This is a SHORT timeline and they may well come in first in this race to the bottom.
California = Hell on Earth I
New York = Hell on Earth II
