The never ending grift.
Manhattan Contrarian ping
Actually, it does.
This is just another way of saying their goal is unachievable. To make this pipe dream reliable requires more money than there is.
New York is hitting an energy wall of their own devising. They passed a law requiring themselves to reach a physically impossible landmark level of green electrification, while having no idea how to achieve it, except relying on a technology (DEFR) that doesn’t exist. And the courts have held them to it, either comply or get busy in the legislature and change the law.
“That idea might make some sense if there were large amounts of zero-emissions electricity ready to be sent to New York City to be used for electrifying the buildings and vehicles.”
Actually, there is large amounts of zero-emissions electricity available to New York. It’s hydro power from Quebec...but then NY will not permit the needed power lines to be built.
The claim that the Leftists running NY (anything else they run) are stupid is why we keep losing. They are NOT STUPID, they have access to the same engineers and scientists that the rest of the country can access, and they all say the same thing to the Leftists - “YOUR PLAN CANNOT WORK”.
So, given that they know their plan cannot work, that moves the ball away from being stupid to being something that many here cannot accept, which is that they are EVIL, pure EVIL.
Beginning in January new construction in NY must be all-electric, no more gas heating etc. The ISO watchdogs have warned that the grid cannot supply all projected needs. State reps have complained that new construction plans around the state have been put on hold due to there being insufficient energy supply available. What a mess.
