Leticia Jamesis suing JBS the world’s largest meat company, foe misleading consumers about their carbon mitigation efforts.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/05/letitia-james-jbs-meat-lawsuit-greenwashing

She ought to sue her own state because NYS policy is even more wrong-headed, false, and unworkable.

And start rendering those washed up whales for oil. They can eat their cold bugs by whale-oil lamplight. Progress!

Maybe NYC and Johannesburg can link up as sister cities. Then they can commiserate as they head into the darkness of commie power grid failure.

even “The Fink” knows the green game is up:

30 April 2024: Tweet: Tim Hinchliffe
At the WEF, Larry Fink (Blackrock) ironically destroys net-zero when it comes to the power needed for AI: “By 2030 [data centers] need 30 gigawatts.. Where’s that power gonna come from? To power these data companies you can’t have intermittent power like wind & solar”

Well, it is going to be very interesting to watch what happens to the Arrogant Communist Officials when the light go out.

They are totally worthless about doing things, all they can do is destroy things and steal from others. It is that simple.

When the helpless captives realize what has happened, the Commies might best run. (not run for office)

Indian Point Units 2 and 3 shut down in 2021 removing approximately 2000 MWe from the grid, due to Cuomo’s and the leftists fear mongering. Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant canceled shortly after completion in 1989, keeping 800 MWe from the grid. Again due to leftist fear mongering. Nope, no sympathy for New Yorkers’ self inflicted pain.

I try to never forget that a blackout or brownout could happen at any time and on any day in the week.
It’s easy to have faith that a routine period of time will keep repeating itself.

The disgusting, pandering Andrew Cuomo started a campaign against Indian Point nuclear power plant in 2015, which finally closed in 2021. In a typical leftist legal scam, the Environmental NGO Riverkeeper, lead by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aligned with Cuomo to conduct lawfare against the plant, until it finally was finally approved for closure in 2017

The plant provided 2000MW, and was 35% of NYC and downstate electricity supply.

Nothing. They’ll just blame greedy power companies, Republicans, and Trump. Their base will fall for it.

there is nothing about globull warming BS that is about climate....

everything...all of it...is about money....and making people switch from the tried and true energy ...wood, gas, oil, etc...to a whole new system which of course will cost us all a fortune....

its about money...

These energy shortage predictions are getting to be like the predicted global warming catastrophes. They never happen. Let’s see a break down.

It’s the cheating Rats in key urban areas that have stained the entire state. It’s otherwise Red throughout.

The plan over time:
1). “Smart” thermostats for every home and office which can be controlled centrally. In the winter, heating temperatures of buildings are lowered to lower demand. In summer thermostat settings are raised.
2) Rolling brownouts and blackouts during periods of high demand.
3). Shifting of power over the grid from rural and suburban areas to urban centers and from red states to blue states.
4). Blame utilities, corporations, political opponents and climate change using compliant media. Condemn and shame selfish consumers.
5). Nationalize utilities under control of central government planners. Central planners direct investment and allocate increasingly scarce power across the nation.
6). Censor press reporting of power outages then deny the shortages exist. Criminalize communication of climate misinformation.
7). Force conversion to electric vehicles, then severely restrict electric vehicle ownership and use. Limit the number of vehicles per household and miles driven per individual vehicle, cutting of vehicles when daily limits reached.
8). End private single family home ownership and rental. Force the masses into tiny apartments in cheaply constructed massive apartment complexes to save energy. Set increasingly smaller allocations of power to each housing unit and cut off power to housing units when power limits are reached.
9). End long distance transportation (aviation, trains, interstate buses) for the masses to save energy and prevent the masses from relocating.
10). Forced population control to save the planet. Limits on children. Forced euthanasia of the elderly. Ration life saving treatments in the healthcare system. Capital punishment for crimes against the state.
11). Food rationing to reduce energy required for agriculture. Rationing used to starve populations resisting central control with the side benefit of lower energy consumption.

To summarize, the plan is to increase government control over the population and then reduce the population to save the planet. Creating and energy shortages and giving government absolute power to manage increasingly scarce energy consumption is the essential component of the plan. Politicians and bureaucrats understand the end game.
