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.
does NY have untapped hydro potential? sincere question
New York’s Official Energy Plan Is No Plan

New York’s Official DEI Plan Is A Full and Extensive Bureaucracy
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.
Good time to study up on how neolithic cultures survived.
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.

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

Their plan is to let the peasants freeze and starve in the dark.
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.
There’has never been any well engineered “green” plan, merely demands and mandates that certain “goals” be achieved but never ever any real plan for how to get there. To the Dims it has always been as if all they had to do was declare a legal goal and voila it would happen.
Thanks. Menton is one of the few great commentators on energy planning as done by governments.
He didn’t highlight one thing I thought might be new fron the state planners:
“Simply put, as New York seeks to retire more fossil fuel units in the coming years it will be essential to deploy new energy resources with the same reliability attributes to maintain grid reliability.”
A concern about reliability? Did they learn a lesson from the recent Spain and Portugal grid collapse?
Unicorn farts will solve the impending crisis.
NYSEG is foreign-owned.
Nuff said.
