In recent weeks, both houses of New York’s legislature have approved a historic plan to start a publicly funded renewable energy program, the state’s best hope for meeting its own emissions reductions goals.
... New York’s Build Public Renewables Act (BPRA) could potentially be the boldest challenge yet to the fossil fuel industry. That’s because of the principle it establishes: that the state should be empowered to provide clean energy if the private sector fails to. The bill is therefore seen by proponents and detractors alike as a possible foundation for socializing and centralizing control of all energy in order to effectively address the climate crisis and keep energy affordable and accessible to all. It provides a way of ensuring that public interest, rather that the profit motive, dominates energy generation.
The idea for public ownership comes from socialist activists, while the momentum comes from Democratic Socialists of America’s organizing, but also from the broad appeal to young people who see the urgency to push for climate solutions that don’t leave their futures in the hands of the same corporations that have already put them in jeopardy.

It still sounds likes communism.
They’re going to need a lot of other people’s money to survive.
Because it makes no economic sense?
“that the state should be empowered to provide clean energy if the private sector fails to.”
Sounds insane but then that’s a definitieon of Communism.
“publicly funded” = Taxpayer funded or printing press funded.
“in order to effectively address the climate crisis”
Ah, it’s comedy. I get it now.
LOL!! ANOTHER block taken out of the JENGA city!
Reading this simply provides images of productive New Yorkers shivering in the cold. while the elites and poor have the heat up to 75.
The object is to take over and operate all our utilities. We will be metered and allotted...and cost to the consumer will go up up up.
“Dispatch-able Emissions Free Resources.” This is the term used in New York’s net zero Scoping Plan. It stands for technologies that have not yet been invented. Their whole plan depends on DEFRs because they don’t have the courage to just say “Miracles.”
Yes.
Absolute Propaganda.
Total Lies.
Sad Part? Many believe this nonsense. A fatal error.
So how do we make these people and there commie ideas go away? Don’t say elections either, they also have that covered.
Never going to "meet its own emission goals" and in the meantime will destroy the NY economy.
Trying To Head Off New York's Total Self-Destruction
The CLCPA’s overarching goal is an 85 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a net-zero state economy by 2050. Intermediate steps on the way include 6,000 megawatts of installed solar and 185 trillion BTU savings in energy efficiency by 2025, 70 percent renewable energy production and 3,000 megawatts of battery storage by 2030, 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind production by 2035 and 100 percent zero-emissions electricity production by 2040.
To say the CLCPA’s goals are ambitious is an understatement, and yet they will not be adequate to provide the state with sufficient clean energy to ensure the continuing reliability of the electrical grid
One place where Hanley makes a real contribution to the debate is by producing a chart, based on data from the federal Energy Information Administration and Department of Energy, that makes the absurdity of the CLCPA goals apparent:

BINGO!! ALL ABOUT CONTROL OVER US!
There’s a lot of hot air coming out of that dump that can be used and the trash can make mountains of compost.
High Velocity Lead Pills????
You energy allocation will depend on your social score.
Flee New York. Run for your lives.
“ The bill is therefore seen by proponents and detractors alike as a possible foundation for socializing and centralizing control of …”
That the above doesn’t, after all this time and history, resonate in their heads as a massive negative, is truly astounding. This lack has to be that it transfers power through the few and that that is the only reason for it.
We’re dealing with pure relentless unadulterated evil here, nothing less.
