New York is running out of fuel and power — just as Cuomo planned
NY Post ^ | 8/31/2019 | Post Editorial Board

Gov. Andrew Cuomo doubled down last week on his blame-the-messenger approach to New York’s growing shortage of natural-gas supplies by ordering the Department of Public Service to “broaden its investigation” of National Grid and threatening to “find another franchisee.”

Anything, rather than admit that his own policies are at fault.

The utility has stopped taking new gas customers in parts of Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens where it can’t handle the new demand — because Team Cuomo vetoed the proposed Williams pipeline to bring in supplies from New Jersey. (Jersey is also blocking the pipeline, since Gov. Phil Murphy is appeasing the same green extremists.)

National Grid gave months of warning that it would need to impose the moratorium if fresh supplies weren’t ensured.

Con Ed did the same in advance of its recent new-biz moratorium in most of Westchester, which was also prompted in good part by the nixing of new pipelines.

This is the point of the yearslong green war on pipelines: You can’t burn gas or oil you can’t get.

But would-be consumers are, of course, furious. Which leaves Cuomo and like-minded pols blaming the utilities. Hence the gov’s “broadened investigation” — which is supposed to find, what? That National Grid doesn’t want more customers?

Watch...they will probably demand nationalization of energy production and then demand it be provided from other regions.

Cuomo is a “Fascist” and Murphy is just “batshit crazy”.

They are determined to destroy the economies of NY and New Jersey and just might succeed.

Well, ahole Democrats of both states, you got what you voted for. Suffer!

As for those who opposed these two clowns, you’d better get more organized, staffed and funded to take them down through court actions, petitions, recalls, or just plain truthful propaganda bout their Marxist, childish plans and actions.

Can make nuclear fuel from Thorium with a similar process as to make Plutonium from Uranium. But a large stack of natural thorium does not go critical.

Many reasons given as to why he would do a suicide hit on roth.

cause it was a suicide hit.

or worse he could have been grabbed and caught or shot and lived. would he ever have rolled on Michael?

was a risky thing, Michael sanctioning that type of hit.

And they wonder why people are leaving NY in droves.

A lot of the same morons who voted for this idiocy, having completely devastated NY with liberalism, are now moving on to Conservative states to feed off of them. It's not a good thing, this swamp of lefty locusts.

One of my siblings saw the eat or heat issue in Moscow, I think it was. People came to church for food and warmth, including hot water. Water heat was centrally controlled, too.

Actually, the fault lies with gullible women who are grossly ignorant

There is no cure for gullible stupidity of poorly educated women calling themselves progressive
