With the super cold winter, our bills here in NYS were through the roof. We have so much natural gas we could tap...when will we get over being stupid...Affordability is available...and the Dems kill it at every turn.

Dear powers that be: can we stop with the changing of the clocks every six months, already? Talk about scams driving crazy.

“facing a time bomb left by her predecessor: drastic, legally binding greenhouse gas reduction targets that the state has no practical means of meeting.”

Sounds like most other Democratic plans. Enact policies that have almost no chance of succeeding and then just let voters suffer from them.

The blackouts are NOT an unintended consequence.

Just sayin'

uckily their grid only impacts NY. They'll have to rely on nearby grids selling them power, but that won't happen if the other grids don't have enough for theirs.

Here's a link to the FERC page with rates from last year. I guess NY can be pleased it's not the most expensive.

Attention NRC: It’s a great issue for Republicans to raise nationwide. Are you smart and aggressive enough to raise it?

The law has saddled the state with three related but distinct problems: threats to the grid’s reliability, rising electric bills and a looming surge in fuel prices.

All they need to do is look at California - Gov. Newsom's "climate change" and "green" initiatives have lead to the highest gas prices in the country, a failing electrical grid that necessitates rolling blackouts and closures of two, possibly three or more refineries reducing gas by 20% in a car-dependent state.

Hopefully, a Republican will be elected governor this time and maybe, just maybe, some sanity will return to the state.

really, the only question is how much pain will the voters put up with before they replace their governments?

for example, would energy bills at every level increasing by a factor of 10 and rolling blackouts for years cause enough pain to do the job? ... large numbers of “poor” people freezing to death in the dark in the winter and dropping dead from heat prostration every summer?

in regards to ultimately being forced to issue the Climate Act’s long-promised — mandatory and legally required — regulations to increase fuel costs for homes, businesses and vehicles, President Lincoln believed that “The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”

This article is a bit of a spin. Nuclear plants have their own type of environmental problems.

A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is creating radioactive waste such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive waste. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years. Radioactive waste is classified as either low-level waste or high-level waste. The radioactivity of the waste can range from a little higher than natural background levels, such as for uranium mill tailings, to the much higher radioactivity of used (spent) reactor fuel and parts of nuclear reactors.

So does it produce carbon footprints? No. But the other problem lasts a lot longer and storage and especially disposing of radioactive waste easily replaces the carbon problem.

Additionally, nuclear power plants cause thermal water pollution by discharging large volumes of heated water into lakes, rivers, and oceans, disrupting aquatic ecosystems. This reduces dissolved oxygen, increases metabolic rates, harms fish, and triggers harmful algae blooms. So they are not covering it all. Just enough to get by. Spin.

Its the one-party socialist state of New York

The law can’t / won’t be withdrawn because that will be another leftist admission of failure

The law can’t be enacted because it will cost too much and cause too much political pain

SO - it will simply be ignored

Some woke special interests will sue, and time in courts will buy the one-party state of New York another 3-5 years of runway.
