Time to find out how many politicians’ family and friends run heat pump dealerships.

There are going to be a lot of vacant homes in New York state after 2025.

Perhaps they’ll house all of the illegal immigrants.

NY actually gets a bad rap. Nassau and Suffolk counties are Republican. Most of NY is Republican.

The rural areas are less populated and solids Republican. The densely populated places, cities and surrounding suburbs are Democrat.

Are commercial and government properties also included? It would be nice to see those that impose their will on the people live by those same rules, first. Show the people how it’s done. Convert all state buildings to electric starting now. Let’s see how that works out in central and northern NY in the winter.

When it’s under 40 outside, your “efficient” electric heat pump can’t pump heat - so the resistance heat strips kick on and you can use your electric meter as a fan.

Climate cultists are such sheep.

Electric heat pumps plus electric cars plus grid crashes means you freeze and can’t even leave town.

It takes a village of sadistic sociopaths to dream up this stuff.

“did they mention any plans to expand the grid?”

When this starts to bite in a couple of years there will not be enough people left in New York to require additional electric generation.

They can probably run the entire state with a couple of standby generators borrowed from a chicken farm.

On one side is Pennsylvania and its incoming Governor has said he’s going to wage war on the energy sector. To the east, it’s Vermont and Connecticut. South, Jersey.

I was born and raised in that state. Great place to grow up prior Spitzer. From Spitzer to the present day it’s been a disaster and, obviously, getting worse.

For existing homes, residents whose fossil fuel-burning heating units give out after 2030 will have to replace them with a zero-emission system.

That electricity is not "zero-emission"; it come from a fuel burning power plant. The only zero-emission heating unit is a sweater.

They could just put a high excise tax on gas making it too expensive to use.

The market has been down on Micron Technology Inc (MU) stock recently. MU gets a Bearish score from Investors Observer Stock Sentiment Indicator.

Wait until all of those air source heat pumps go over on resistance back up heat at the same time. 15-20 kW demand, multiplied times million. Gets dark and cold real quick.

And the cold weather lasts longer

It isn’t the south where you get a cold snap for a few days and then a week of mild weather.

Central and northern NY gets cold and stays cold.

Can’t imagine what electric bills are going to be in someplace like Potsdam.

Another reason not to live in $hithole New York State.

These climate Nazis need to be rounded up and put on an island in the Arctic, never allowed to return.

Wow let’s outlaw fossil-fuel furnaces. Force you to use electric heat and then shut down all your FF power generation. Do these people even try and think things through or do they just react to the latest leftist fad. And how stupid are the people who keep electing them. NY is becoming a third world country and people keep voting for more.

Micron Plant being built in Clay, New York mentioned in this article. The build sounds like another investment of New York taxpayer money, reminiscent of the deals that went bust under Andrew Cuomo. Two such deals were in the Syracuse area, and millions of dollars were wasted. Developers and Cuomo top aide were charged by Feds with corruption, and sent to prison. This plan smells.

What’s going inside Micron’s mega computer chip fab in the Town of Clay?
