This is so weird. It’s almost like all the New Yorkers who voted for the politicians who forced this on the the peasants aren’t practicing their beliefs, in the same way as the politicians aren’t
NY won’t meet climate change goals under ‘asinine’ green energy law, business rep claims
New York’s “asinine” climate change law demanding a dramatic increase in green energy has set unattainable goals — and could trigger soaring electrical costs for consumers, a top state business advocate claims.
“It is very clear that New York will not meet the goals that are required under the statute when it comes to climate change,” Paul Zuber, senior vice president at the NYS Business Council, said during an interview on WABC 77 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” program.
Without modifications, the law will just drive more residents and businesses out of New York because of skyrocketing energy costs to build the transmission lines for renewal projects, Zuber argued.
Well, hey, all those climate cult voting New Yorkers, mostly Democrats, are just fine with paying higher energy costs, which will increase the cost of almost everything else, right?
New York is betting too heavily on wind and solar instead of a more diverse energy portfolio to juice the state that includes nuclear energy and natural gas, Zuber said.
“It especially doesn’t work when you do what many of the environmentalists want — having only wind and have only solar… When you look at it that way, it is a joke,” he said.
“The cost for the average consumer when they’re paying their electric bill is going to skyrocket because utilities have to build transition lines lines to these renewable projects, which costs money, and that cost is passed on to the taxpayer.”
I’m confident that the Democrats in the NY general assembly will pass a law which limits how much can be passed on to the consumer. Maybe allow nothing to be passed on. It would be fascinating to see the consequences of this.
“This climate change law has the potential to murder upstate manufacturing,” said Ken Girardin, the Empire Center’s research director, who published a recent study claiming state projections undercount the true costs of complying with the statute.
Hochul’s office defended her administration’s implementation of the climate change law and claimed that nearly 60% of the state’s power generation mix is now coming from clean energy sources including hydropower, wind and solar.
Well, heck, she has her fortune, so, she’s not worried about more businesses packing up and leaving, leaving a lot of people out of a job, and lots of tax money going goodbye.
