New York is one of the states that is going 100% renewable energy, and doesn't even approve of natural gas lines being built. These "polar vortex" storms last a week or more, during which the solar and wind power generation will be zero. And it will last longer than any grid battery storage capacity will last. This is only a taste of what will become a regular part of life in New York, except it will happen in the coldest parts of the year.
Unfortunately, the insanity of liberals has no boundaries. I pray for the good, normal people who are stuck in these liberal hellholes without the means to leave.
