There’has never been any well engineered “green” plan, merely demands and mandates that certain “goals” be achieved but never ever any real plan for how to get there. To the Dims it has always been as if all they had to do was declare a legal goal and voila it would happen.

Thanks. Menton is one of the few great commentators on energy planning as done by governments.

He didn’t highlight one thing I thought might be new fron the state planners:

“Simply put, as New York seeks to retire more fossil fuel units in the coming years it will be essential to deploy new energy resources with the same reliability attributes to maintain grid reliability.”

A concern about reliability? Did they learn a lesson from the recent Spain and Portugal grid collapse?

Gov. Hochul wants to build a nuclear plant in western New York, not in the east where the power ends up. More electrical power line lose transporting it across the state.
