Because Albany is in on it.

If we still had a free press, someone ling ago would investigated why Albany is doing with energy in NYS and why.

The big biz thats left if NYS doesn’t care because they get bribed with lower rates than the private sector. Subsidized, you guessed it, BY the private sector.

Taxpayers, families, and biz not favored can’t flee NYS fast enough.

I wonder how he heats HIS house.

Like most northeast "green" liberals, he heats his home with heating oil.

everyone thinks that when a politician like DeBlasio “bans natural gas hookups” they are doing so out of some weird, deformed “principle”

Thats might be close to how a “normal” mind might see the issue.

For a DeBlasio, they do things like this “because they can”

Part of the “great divide” between the left and the right that most of us on the right never can even comprehend this distorted thought and behavior. Part of the perverse thrill for these people. They laugh in their sleeves while selling us their environmental BS

They do things like this because “they can”

I say go for it.

New York City is self sufficient in nothing! All the food all the water consumed in New York city comes from outside the city.

I say New York City should go 100% green and set an example for the rest of the world. Only battery operated transportation, and to be true greenies it should be mandated they could only re-charge the batteries from re-newable sources within the city limit.

All power for lights and heating must also come from power generated within the city as well.

I am sure New York City will become the Eden on the Hudson.

That isn’t a NG problem though. That’s an extraction process problem. NG is still the cleanes burning fossil fuel available and we have an abundance of it. We can make it in garbage dumps too. All these electric cars that the left envisions will require electricity generation far beyond what wind & solar can accommodate. Nuclear maybe but that brings its own set of problems. NG seems like a real good solution for now. We should clean up extraction, not give up on NG.

Lets return to the 19th century technology. I like the idea of feminine women, horses and sailing ship. Very romantic.

“NG (and oil) is superior for heating below 40-45 F. There can be no comparison.”

Electricity is just as good, but more expensive.

A green NYC:

Some methane gas and road apples but all in all very sustainable and very green. I am sue the air quality was great except for all of that nasty coal burning in the winter. But heat is a luxury now...

Secession.

Stay connected to these in any way and they will drag the rest of us down with them.

Would anyone with any sense allow a common criminal to stay within their home without implications? One with any sense would get that criminal out and away from themselves.

Only a fool would make it a law to require something that doesn’t exist. There is simply not enough electricity available to replace fossil fuel energy either now, or in the foreseeable future. Even if enough could actually be generated and stored, there is not an adequate distribution system to deliver it to where it would be needed.

Of course, de Blasio is such a fool.
