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.

Will there be the ability to televise the ignorant leftists freezing to death in the dark?

So what is the answer to the great DEFR conundrum?

Securing NYS's elections.

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

“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.

As readers here know, 10 hours of storage is not enough to get through even one long calm winter night. The real storage need to back up wind and solar for an entire year is more like 1000 hours.

Because one of the Environmental Left's other pipe dreams are set to be implemented in the same time period, namely eliminating natural gas as a heating and cooking fuel, you really need 10 times that amount of storage capacity.

If you had a week of minimal wind during a really cold winter period after everyone is on resistance heat that energy storage reserve could easily be exhausted.

Hey, but what is a few thousand dead citizens as long as we save the planet from getting warmer?

We can always get more third world welfare recipients to vote for us.

Thanks to this guy I now win every argument with solar proponents and climate doomers.

The best counterargument to his thesis I get is some variation of: “the State won’t be dumb enough to decommission natural gas before the solution appears.”

To which my response is: so the fossil fuel companies are fulfilling a vital need right now?

But then they can’t say yes to that and they spin into a little loop. It’s fun to watch.

Freeze to death in the dark.

You voted for it, you get it.

...nobody has the answer to how to keep the lights on after the natural gas plants are closed.

They do not intend to keep the lights on. Let the peasants starve and freeze in the dark.

Only neighborhoods filled with loyal supporters of the regime will be allowed to have constant electric power.
