New York?

New York

Sure you have to heat New York. Most of their electrical power comes from coal and oil. If you let the EPA regulate your carbon emissions New York is going to be driven even farther into bankruptcy than it already is. The California hippies may be OK with living in grass huts on the beach and driving Obamamobiles. But the Manhattan elite like their penthouse skyscrapers. And they like the heat in winter and the AC blasting in summer. They are all for environmentalism as long as someone else has to do it. They are not going to oppose the EPA for environmental, scientific, or ideological reasons. It will be cold hard cash.

Remember how the North East liberals were all against government subsidies for Big Tobacco, Big Oil, Big Pharma. Of course none of those are located in the North East. But when Big Banking got in trouble all of a sudden it was bailout time. Limousine liberals like to have limousines.
