The subsidies for wind power cited there are just obscene.

I’m glad I was able to visit NYC last summer, I’ll never go back to that state (or city) again. I’m sure upstate is nice, but not with the city strangling you for taxation and with stupidity.

[wastedyears]

I wonder how much more electricity is going to cost.

Indian Point closing is a crying shame.

[Darksheare]

It’s a retarded idea.
It always was.
But for thirty years or more they’ve been attacking, demonizing, and harassing Indian Point for green environut buttpats.
There had been talk of plans at one point to build a thorium cycle unit there.
But heavily politicized shouts of “radiation leaks” at the site and harpy shrieks over warning sirens not working eventually got the public to whine on command.
Camp Smith, Cortland Manor, sits right across from Indian Point on “the goat path”.
Was at drill there once when they tested the sirens.
“Hey boss, we gonna glow?”
“Yup, three headed kids and ears growing on foreheads.”
“Cool, they’ll have no excuse to not listen to me then!”
And we went about our duties.

But some whiners complained about “stress and disruption” of their lives on that one because they “weren’t told of the test”.

"In 2017, three days after Cuomo announced Indian Point would be prematurely shuttered, his appointees .. revealed plans to shower $360 million in subsidies on renewable-energy projects."

Oh goody! Just what the State needs. More Cuomo projects that fail, or never get off the ground, with great losses to the taxpayers, but more money in the pockets of Cuomo's cronies, and donors.

Unit 2’s prodigious output left its more politically popular rivals — solar and wind energy — in the shade. Ivanpah, the biggest thermal-solar project in America, puts out less than 800 gigawatt-hours of juice each year. Located in California’s Mojave Desert, the solar plant sprawls over about 3,500 acres (about 5.4 square miles).

And that eyesore of a solar plant also ignites 6000 birds per year in midflight.

I guess when they can’t burn anymore coal, and lighting has to come from solar, it will be one stinky city, cause they ain’t going to be able to run A/C units!

Nuclear is the future, just not everyone has realized it yet.

I keep hoping for fusion reactors, but we have great fission designs ready to be built now. We should be following South Korea’s model. Build a few standard designs, over and over, get the costs down, enhance them incrementally, not macro level total redesigns each time out.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

In other words, dictator Cuomo and his leftist/fascistic toadies screwed NY City again and earlier without any need for a coronavirus.

[Pontiac]

Where exactly does Cuomo get his super power to force corporations to close their business ventures?

This super villain needs to tell his origin story.

[Herakles]

The United States does not deserve nuclear power because it's people are scientifically illiterate and backward. If it weren't for a handful of geniuses in the US’s history it would be another Afghanistan.

[Erik Latranyi]

The opposition to nuclear power is equal in ignorance to the opposition to 5G telecommunications.

Both stem from STUPIDITY and UNEDUCATED citizens.

Read it and weep.

[Rebelbase]

COVID rationing of life activities is a prerequisite to get people to accept rationing of electrical power to their homes.

In the future people will be able to watch youtube videos of NY celebrities talking about power rationing and saying, “We are all in this together and have to make due with 1/2 of what we used to have. That’s just the way it is”.

[Right Wing Assault]

That thing is 46-years-old!

[Erik Latranyi]

Do not forget that NY has an abundance of shale gas and oil....but Cuomo and the Democrats just made hydraulic fracturing ILLEGAL within the boundaries of New York.

[backwoods-engineer]

Any state that shuts down power plants deserves to freeze in the dark.

But this is just the beginning of the Endarkening of our former Republic.

Where are the Hudson Valley UFOs supposed to hang out now?

Hi.

Where is NYC’s electricity going to come from?

5.56mm

[GreyFriar]

And how soon will the “brown outs” begin for electricity users in NYC?
