It was all a fraud, based on a fantasy ideology, corrupted science, and lots of printed-money-debt.

The Muzzie New Yawkers are full of wind and hot air but as for solar, most of them aren’t very bright. I don’t see this working out.

Ooh, the state, at least someone in it, has realized that they can no longer afford fripperies like virtue signaling crappola like that.

If, as seems likely, Republicans sit on their asses and let fired-up Democrats win midterm elections and take control of Congress - just how long will it be before the Green New Scam makes a comeback?

Granted, Trump will have veto power over legislation...while he’s in office. But 2028...

BLUF: these alternative energy projects were always “financially impractical” since they could not stand without subsidies but they are now arriving at the truth-telling and can no longer fast talk their way around that reality.

The New York State politicians and regulators are running out of can-kicking road.

developers are signaling they may walk away from projects after the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority declined to renegotiate contracts to account for higher costs tied to tariffs and inflation

So they never were financially viable without government subsidies and breaks. What a shock. And guess what? 10 or 20 years from now, they still would not be financially viable. They were, are, and for the foreseeable future will be a feel-good vanity project for rich liberal environmentalists.
