I’m hoping the court will ask the Democrats if they have made their own lives carbon neutral. If they still drive fossil fueled vehicles and take fossil fueled flights
Democrats urge court to force costly New York climate change law
A group of New York Democrats is siding with environmentalists in a court fight with Gov. Kathy Hochul over costly provisions of a new climate change law, drawing criticism from business groups who say it will saddle energy consumers with higher costs.
In a new filing in the state Supreme Court, 17 Democratic senators and assembly members ask justices to order the state Department of Environmental Conservation to issue draft regulations to implement the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a 2019 that requires New York to take aggressive steps to reduce its excess greenhouse gas emissions.
The lawmakers who signed onto the amicus brief included Bronx Democrats and state Sens. Nathalia Fernandez and state Gustavo Rivera, along with Queens Assembly members Jessica González-Rojas and Diana Moreno, among others.
No one is surprised, right?
But the move by Democratic lawmakers to intervene in the legal fight over the climate change law drew strong criticism from business groups, who say the move will saddle energy consumers with higher costs.
“This amicus brief is completely out of touch — and frankly, unconscionable,” Justin Wilcox, executive director of Upstate United, said in a statement. “At a time when New Yorkers are already struggling with rising costs, these lawmakers are going out of their way to advocate in court for a position that would effectively force many struggling families to shoulder steep new energy and transportation expenses just to heat their homes and commute to work.”
Wilcox said the most “troubling” aspect of the court filing is that it “makes clear that these lawmakers understood the cost of the CLCPA when they passed it, and they understand the costs their legal position would impose — and are willing to move forward anyway.”
The Democrats do not care at all.
The AGW crowd should be cheering Trump on for his war with Iran. Hormuz is shut down and the world is consuming 20 percent less oil and natural gas. What a win for the AGW crowd.
In fact Ukraine is now replacing the USA as the number one arms dealer in Europe as their interceptors are even more effective than the USA’s Patriot system. The guy Trump shouted down in the White House as someone who had no cards to play is now supplying the Middle East and Europe with attack and anti-drone weapons because they had to evolve or die. Israel is installing the Iron dome in the UAE. The UAE has left OPEC to pump more oil and to side with winners. IE. Israel, Ukraine and questionably the USA since the American left now hates all of the Middle East which is now firmly besties with Israel and the USA.
Fun times ahead. This is why outsourcing our national security to foreign countries to make an extra buck was the most egregious thing America could have done. Canada, Australia and the EU are suffering a fate far, far worse than the USA but if the American left has its way we will soon join them. Perhaps not. It depends on the Mayor of NYC and Seattle. How long will it take them to bankrupt NYC and Seattle. A microcosm of what the Democratic party wants for America.
People have been forecasting the demise of NYC for 50 years.
Real estate prices are sky high
You are still disappointed
New Census data reveals a massive migration shift as high-tax states lose residents to the booming Southeast and Sun Belt

Lol
NYC lost 1% of its population in 2025
Meh
There was about normal outward migration the loss came mainly due to reduced inward international migration
The outward migration has not reduced housing costs. So many people want to live here that median Manhattan rent is over 5000 dollars. I think most people who live here would be happy if a lot left and rents dropped
US national gas price now $4.55
The average NY state electric bill is about $17 per month. The average NC electric bill is $150
People in NY must pay $250 per year more????
But because avg income is $20000 more than NC
Yearly electric cost is not significantly
an issue
And NY has duper generous fiscouts available
I get 2, 1 for elderly and 1 for having very low useage. My bill avg is $12 per month. It hit 30$ in Aug with AC
“Average income 20,000 more….” And that average income gets eaten up by an above average cost of living
Jl,
The highest disposable income is in WA, NY, CT, MN, MA, AK, NJ, MD, CO, IL… median ~ $20,000. Alaska is the only RED state…
The lowest disposable income is in HI, MS, ID, SC, NV, MT, TN, AR, AL, LA… median ~ $9,400. HI and NV are BLUE states…
There is no evidence that the blue states with high overall income spend it all on cost of living.

The average electric bill in New York is actually around $269 per month, which translates to about $3,228 per year. This is significantly higher than the national average.
Put down the pipe, retard.
of course the democraps want the courts to create a new law to push their agenda. that’s how they’ve done it since the 60’s. they can’t get one agenda passed by voting. they all have to be forced, illegally, by courts.
