By the time the leftist citizens in NYC feel enough pain to realize they voted for the wrong people, they will only be 10 years away from a return to normal. If they survive.

So what is the answer to the great DEFR conundrum?

Securing NYS's elections.

If they’d vote for this, then why does NYC have RCV?

I bet when there is a blackout in NY, the lights and a/c will stay on at the Governor’s mansion.

Their (Sierra Club) preferred solution is to turn off everybody’s electricity via a central switch when generation drops. Back to the Stone Age!

Welcome to the Third World New York!

“The Destructive urge is also a Creative urge.”
— Mikhail Bakunin (19th century anarchist)

“Build Back Better.”
— Joe Biden

The Left wants a blank slate. They want to tear down and start over. They have a plan to tear things down (look around you) but they don’t really give any thought to what comes next. The Creating. The Building. They’ll figure that stuff out after the disaster hits.

Smith presented charts quantifying the capacity of DEFRs needed for New York to “balance” its prospective intermittent wind/solar supply as something in the range of 30+ GW. 30 GW is close to the peak electricity demand for the entire state, and is approximately equivalent to the existing capacity of New York’s fleet of natural gas plants, all of which are mandated to be closed by 2040.

It interesting that 2040 is 15 years away.

In 15 years many of the Pols that voted for this idiotic law will be retired or dead.

Well beyond culpability or accountability.

There is an answer, it is ready to be used, and it meets just about every criteria set forth.

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are now commercially available, they may be set up rapidly, and virtually all the objections to the old uranium-fueled Light Water Reactors have been overcome.

These “green religion will save us” people sure have a lot in common with the Jim Jones cult.
