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.
Thank you for your concern Mr Teach.
New York ranks #8 ih highest median income, even after integrating into our economy of 100s of thousands military aged migrant men.
North Carolina ranks #18 in highest median income. Hopefully your position will improve with the “smart people” moving into your new research triangle.
All you care about is money you selfish dog. There’s a lot more that makes a happy and good society and having the highest median income like maybe loving your family loving your country and loving your God.
In January of 2024, the median home price in New York City was $785,000, while in Raleigh, North Carolina, it was $442,852, while it was $398,896 in Charlotte. So yes, New Yorkers get paid more dollars, but do they actually live better?
Hey, it’s New York.
Fuck’em. Go occupy something.

Bwaha! Lolgf
It looks like it is far easier for politicians to make promises and commitments than actually keep them.
Thank you for your irrelevant post, Mr. Johnny. New York, depending on which study, also has the 2nd or 4th highest cost of living in the county, eating up that “median income”. New York City also ranks between #1 and #4 of the highest cost of living cities.
The state bird of North Carolina is the Cardinal but the bird of New York is the Eastern Blue Bird.
Your argument is invalid.
NY could just use their dictatorial powers to shut down the whole state until the targets are met. Or they could arbitrarily announce new unmeasurable targets to preplace the previous arbitrary unmeasurable targets and declare that they have met success. But then people might stop taking them seriously.
