NH bump
Naturally, the policymakers are unhurt.
Not just New England. NYS is nuts, too.
What are they doing to reduce water vapor emissions?
Reptile Habitat Heating - Heat Bulbs, Cables, Controllers, Heat Rocks, Submersible Heaters & Under Tank Heaters

I began my career in the energy industry when electricity was provided by regulated public utilities with an “obligation to serve.” We built the world’s biggest, most reliable, and lowest cost energy system.
Then the politicians got involved and f*cked everything up as they always do. They bought into Amory Lovins’ nonsense about “negawatts” where he claimed it is cheaper to pay customers to NOT USE your product rather than build new coal mines, railroads, power plants, and transmission and distribution lines properly sized for events like this. The radical environmentalists took over board rooms across the land. Utilities promptly fell in line and built stupid systems that won’t deliver the needed power.
I got so fed up with the politicization and utility execs falling all over themselves to ingratiate themselves to the kooks that I switched industries. It’s hard to work in an industry that rejects reality. The worst part is real lives are on the line. Just look at Germany for examples of people of modest means having to decide between food and winter heat.
Every time I drive past a snow-covered solar farm or a motionless windmill I have to laugh.
The real irony is that New England has huge supplies of natural gas locked up in the Marcellus shale. They refuse to drill it and produce it. I have no sympathy for them. They choose poorly.
