Capacity to provide wind backup was covered. It was offset by natural gas turbines. But I’m sure that Ms. Cortex would never allow gas turbines to be built because they are not green!

NYers will probably have to do without electricity when the wind doesn’t blow.

According to this article, having electricity isn’t that big a help anyway:

New Yorkers will get used to it.

I did not expect that, because natural gas turbines produce CO2.

It's NATURAL gas. If GOD didn't want us to use it, he wouldn't have made it.
