They should pay attention to the power problems in Europe.

The philosophy of the Left is based on lies and fantasy.

It has survived because the vast increases in productivity, created by the free market economy, has allowed them to steal resources from all the producers, even as the general population slowly increases their standard of living.

Their arrogance, hippocracy and stupidity will eventually come home to bite em good and hard right square in the arse. Unfortunately, those that will suffer the most will be the great “unwashed masses” to the.point where there’ll be a massive revolt of some kind.

Thanks for posting. Looks like the NYISO quote: "Until new, non-emitting alternatives like hydrogen or advanced nuclear generation are developed and commercialized, fossil resources are needed to fill an essential role in preserving reliable grid operations" is the closest thing they have to a plan. The plan (or suggestion) is, basically, quit shutting down dependable power (fossil resources, I prefer the more accurate term hydrocarbons). The suggestion for the future is hydrogen and/or nuclear. Of course, that means the future is nuclear.

They're basically admitting that conservatives are right about energy, but as quietly as possible.

New York has incredible gas supplies just above the PA border but NYS won’t allow fracking. If they did, the upstate population would become greater and more wealthy and have more Republican voters - all bad for Dems so they don’t allow it.

New York is one of the most energy-efficient states in the nation based on energy use per person...

The reason is not efficiency, but rather population density. Supply power to a rural town of 5,000 in Kansas means stringing miles of high tension cables from one distribution center to the next and dividing those cost over a relatively small number of customers. However, stringing the same number of miles of cable in NY can be spread over tens of thousands of customers. Such crap is from Chapter 1 of Huff's How to Lie With Statistics.

[[Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. ]]

Weird how every “community protection act” ends up pilfering hard earned money from. The working class, making them less safe!

With this on the close horizon and an immanent Mondani administration..

Businesses should be... pulling the plug.. and running immediately for better locations.

If consistent 24/7/365 power can not be garanteed, how do critical businesses survive? Are they expected to generate their own power?

ALL the financial Cos where an outtage of seconds can cost Billions (currency and other traders), need to run.

I don't think there is undeveloped hydro power. Hydro already provides 21% of power in New York, most generated near Niagra falls like Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant in Lewiston, New York with a capacity Capacity of 2,525 MW. Other hydro plants in New York are:

Schoellkopf Power Station, Niagara Falls, 337.4 MW

Adams Power Plant, Niagara Falls, 78MW

Black River Hydroelectric, Glen Park, 32.6 MW

Fourth Branch Hydroelectric, Waterford, 3.3 MW

NYS Dam, Waterford, 11.4 MW

Being partly carbon, I do not intend to have “a small application of political will “ turn me, my family and friends into “zero-carbon” before God wills it.

They’ll get away with it. They’ll blame the “greedy power companies” and their stupid voters will fall for it.

Perhaps these lengthy, otherwise worthless, reports could be gathered and burned for energy production.

Same in California - where b/c of the governor’s “Green Mandates” we pay double and even triple the electricity rates of other states - he’s also declared war on the oil companies - two refineries are shutting down this year - and gas is at $4.50/gallon, ≈ $1.50 to $2.00/gallon more expensive than in other states.

All of this has not caused an upsurge in electric cars, people do not want them - and we do not have the electric grid to support them. Doom Loop.

Governor is now panicking and trying to find a buyer for one of the refineries.
