The democrat governments are creating a disaster in the name of Weather (climate)

[Brian Griffin]

The State of New York is relying heavily on Canadian hydropower.

However, the Canadian national government might desire to use that power to officially make Canada ‘green’. If it does so, New Yorkers will enter a new dark age.

New Yorkers can’t rely on wind power because the wind is generally too weak and too widely dispersed.

New Yorkers can’t rely on in-state solar because New York is cloudy too often.

Out-of-state solar electricity might be obtained from future solar farms in SE Virginia and other southern areas.

New nuclear plants might take over a decade to get built and to get placed online.

New York may be using fossil fuel electricity far into the future, or far less electricity.

The Chickens are coming home to roost. Solar and wind are Energy-Lysenkoism, and it will make things worse.

The blue state morons should stop closing power plants and start building them or there will be controlled blackouts to prevent uncontrolled blackouts.

We are becoming California, and will repeat their staggering stupidity.

[Brian Griffin]

As for an individual New York household, residents might buy an EV and drive to a nearby state to recharge it and then use its electricity to run their house.

Wind and solar power, is itself a manifestation of Mental Greentardation.

“NYC’s power must be clean and reliable.”

Here we have an oxymoron. To the leftists "clean" means windmills and solar cell panels. Neither of which are particularly "clean" in their lifecycles, but we're not allowed to talk about that. Even less are we allowed to talk about their lack of reliability.

If the leftists were serious about electric generation being both reliable AND not emitting carbon dioxide, they'd be pushing nuclear.

But they're not.

And that shows that they are not serious. They're lying, running a scam, and seeking reliable POLITICAL power over We the People.

Can you imagine living in NYC without electricity? Back to the 1800s w the flick of a switch.

This is New York...

DILLIGAS?

No, I don’t.

Before you do another thing, read Shorting the Grid by Meredith Angwin. An insider's appraisal of what Congress did to enable "renewables" to elbow their way into the supply market, which no responsible electricity provider like Con Ed would ever have even considered on economic or engineering grounds.

[Libloather]

Energy use is rising — but due to climate change so are temperatures and the frequency of storms.

The check cleared.
