The global warming hoax - Follow the money

Across the country, policymakers at all levels of government are exploring initiatives to address climate change. New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act remains one of the most ambitious, with its requirement that “the statewide electrical demand system will be zero emissions” by 2040.
So how do we get to a zero-emission system? The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is working on a market enhancement that could not only help lead New York to success, but could also serve as a model for the nation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our proposal is to incorporate the social cost of carbon dioxide emissions into New York’s wholesale electricity markets, commonly referred to as carbon pricing.

Carbon pricing puts a price per ton on carbon dioxide emissions, which would be paid by carbon-emitting generators such as fossil-fuel-burning plants. The effect would promote clean energy generation and encourage dirtier generators to close or invest in more efficient technology and reduce their carbon output.
Here’s how it works:
The state sets the carbon price, a certain amount per ton of CO2 being emitted.
About half of the revenue goes to low-carbon or carbon-free resources like wind, solar and hydro.
The rest would be distributed back to consumers.

'Cap and Trade' is so Al Gore.
“How do we fix this?”
“We should tax it!”
“And if that doesn’t work?”
“We didn’t tax it enough.”
We are your Overlords and your well being is our number one priority. /s

* Carbon-emitting power plants pay for the carbon they release into the atmosphere.

Which will be not one dime.
If we didn’t know these were honorable people we might conclude they were just using this BS to tax everyone. /s
New Yorkers will soon be freezing in the dark.
I’m buying a new woodstove without all the emissions crap as soon as they roll off the assembly line now that Trump reversed the mandates.
It’s a scam to provide more wealth for the scammers.
That’s all.
It will have no effect on the climate at all.
YET, the "social cost of carbon dioxide emissions" just "promotes clean energy generation and encourage dirtier generators to close or invest in more efficient technology and reduce their carbon output."
It doesn't outlaw fossil generation. Because there is NO WAY on God's green earth that renewables can replace fossil fuels, they will continue in the mix and be outrageously expensive. They LIE when they say they will be "zero emissions" in 20 years. It's a huge lie.
And them claiming they are going to "refund" the extra money collected to the people? Oh, come on.
It will have no effect on the climate, since our sun controls our climates. Man has not yet learned how to control the sun.
Kickbacks? No, they're 'enhancing the market'.
It’s a scam to impoverish farmers.
There. Fixed it.
“the statewide electrical demand system will be zero emissions” by 2040.”
Stop the madness! Just immediately cut off all “carbon”/oil derivatives to New York and they can have their holy grail of “zero emissions” tomorrow.

PROVING without a doubt, the ONLY thing this climate change crap is about is taxing more to redistribute wealth.
The rest would be distributed back to the coffers of the DNC."
Fixed it.
About half of the revenue goes to low-carbon or carbon-free resources like wind, solar and hydro.
The rest would be distributed back to consumers.

“Consumers”= Al Gore and other Deep State globalists.
Shhhhhhh...the Useful Idiots aren’t supposed to know this.
