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.
Too bad NYS doesn’t have ANY natural materials within its own state borders it could use to generate electricity.
It is also too bad that NYS does not have something to use for cooking and heating in the winter.

Central and western New York are sitting atop the Marcellus Shale formation where there is so much methane that they really do not have to worry about power generation for the next 200+ years. There are so many capped natural gas wells sitting in inventory that they had to keep them from drilling more because the price/value of that gas would plummet.
There are places in Western New York where the methane literally leaks out of the ground in the shale that has been exposed in a waterfall.
It is the people of NYs fault for falling for the climate change BS and electing stupid Dem/liberals.
