Will New York Relent On Their Climate (scam) Goals As Energy Skyrockets?

It’s bad enough that even PBS noticed

Are changes coming to New York’s climate law?

A recent state memo is creating a political tempest over New York’s ambitious climate change law.

The New York State Energy Development and Research Authority, or NYSERDA, estimates a speedy transition to non-carbon energy sources could hike upstate residents’ electric bills by thousands of dollars a year.

Republicans pointed to the memo as a sign of failed policy. Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to delay the law. Environmentalists see it as a huge setback in the fight against climate change.

It is a failed policy. But, the Elites do not care, because their lives aren’t really harmed. How many of the “environmentalists” actually live in NY? Hochul? She just wants to play games through the next election.

But now, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she wants to adjust that timeline, in the name of affordability.

“I’ve said for a long time, affordability is my number one priority,” she said. “We’re seeing now that people are reeling under the effects of policies that could not have been foreseen in 2019 when this was passed.”

Hochul blames the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and the Trump Administration’s rollbacks of green energy subsidies.

Of course she blames Trump. Without massive subsidies “green” energy is expensive. Why doesn’t the NY state govt pay for those subsidies for their citizens?

Then, NYSERDA, an agency in her state government, released a memo in late February, forecasting that Upstate homeowners could see their heating bills rise by roughly $4,000 by 2031 if the law is implemented as is.

So, probably like $8000. Anyhow, the next part is f’ing hilarious

But environmentalists and experts say that is misleading.

“This calculation is based on nothing. It’s based on hypotheticals, right?” said Michael Hamersky, the executive director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center at Pace University’s Elizabeth Haub School of Law.

The whole climate scam is based on nothing. On hypotheticals. On computer models and crystal balls.
