Instead of fracking on the Southern tier which along with a sane tax policy would fuel a manufacturing/business renascence in upstate New York, they will build windmills on the ocean.
This is the heart of liberal policies. High taxes, high costs, suffocating regulation then squalor.
Same here in New Mexico but worse! The state is #3 in oil and gas production and this year alone has $1.3 billion in surplus in the treasury and funds 45% of state government. The new far-left radical environmentalist governor, Michelle Lujan-Grisham, has declared war on the industry with new regulations and most recently an attempt to shut down new wells because they must flare methane until pipelines are available to move it. Natural gas is so cheap that some producters are paying to get it off the lease (oil is what brings in the $$). And with gas so cheap, she and her Rat cronies who control all state government passed legislation that will require NM electric companies to rid themselves of fossil fuel generation by 2045 and instead rely only on solar and wind generated power. The cost to our poor consumers will be much greater. It remains to be seen how long they will put up with it when the bills get higher. And BTW, she is trying to get the next legislature session to change the way the industry is regulated - currently the commissioners are elected, she wants the power to appoint them. Does this sound anything like the way Venezuela started its downward spiral?
