New York is running out of fuel and power — just as Cuomo planned

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?

New York sucks - bump for later....

As soon as the deep winter hits and power demands skyrocket the word will be out;
As soon as all the electric car drivers discover the joys of alternate charging days, the word will be out;
As soon as the price of electricity goes far above the national average, the word will be out;
As soon as people begin to freeze in their homes, the word will be out.

Sell now, before the word gets out. After that it will be too late, as home prices begin to circle the drain.

They are smart. The ones 3/4 through construction will put in pellet wood systems, just to get it done.

Then NY will outlaw wood pellets.

Ok... they ain’t that smart... but their abandoned sites will sell for pennies on the dollar... to a smarter someone with the clout to get utilities to their new property.

This Winter is predicted to be severe.

If it were not for drudge clicks, half the communists outlets clicks would vanish. That is why I stopped going there last year.

Never give a communist site a click. There are other aggregator websites that let you know the source before the click.

Druge is basically an infiltrated shell of a formerly reasonable platform. It is done.

Didn’t Caracas do the same thing?

“At least he can say he isn’t Fredo.”

Maybe, but Fredo is Dumb and Andrew is not just Dumber but also uglier. Andrew does not need a face mask on Halloween. He can scare the s**t out of anybody with just one glance.

An embarrassment to all Americans of Italian ancestry are those two.

What these folks need is a good stiff winter.

Bump

"No fracked gas"
"No pipeline"
"Keep it clean"
"Stop Williams Pipeline!"

Sure, all of this can be done.
We can indulge you in your environmentalist kookiness.

Just don't bother the rest of America when you're
freezing in the winter because there no fuel or
electricity to heat your homes or businesses.

There's no electricity to charge your stupid hybrid cars.

No electricity run those subway trains I
see in background of photo.

No electricity to charge all of your phones and
other electronics.

Don't complain if you can't get hospital care because
there's no energy to run your hospitals.

Don't complain if your schools have to shut down.

Don't complain if you can't watch your favorite
leftist "news" shows like CNN MSNBC, etc.

Don't complain if have to live in the dark in your homes.
(Used candles -- they are soooo eco-friendly I hear.)

And don't bother the rest of America when you're starving
because your refrigerators don't have power.

Just stay happy in thought that you're "saving the Earth"
while watching your world return to a Dark Ages,
Medieval level of existence. Just don't bother
the rest of the nation with your problems.
We're not interested in copying the decisions you've made.

1952 conventions on TV.

I watched those, too. I felt a strong fascination for politics then and it has lasted to this day (age 73). Liked Ike.

Nearly 1 billion visitors in the past month.

Define ‘done’.

Cuomo is a foreigner.

The left is trying to create scarcity.

* * *

I never would have believed such nonsense before, but I do think you’ve got something there.

Makes sense. The rich and the oligarchs will always have enough electric power and heat.

And they stand to gain as the tools of production are steadily turned over to State control

California’s madness is now understandable.

Hmm...I shall revisit the issue with in the week.
