NY Electric Bills are going to go sky high

[Rattler]

Cuomo is a friggin idiot who has no idea how much this will increase your energy bills.  He's trying to force everyone into solar and wind.  The investment required for either of those so called "carbon-free" sources is huge and must be replaced every 10 years or so.  Figuring that into your total cost of energy, you find you save nothing and probably pay more.  Then there's the need for land area to put this stuff.  That costs money and destroys the land it's on.  It's putting a major financial burden on people he's supposed to represent, without any improvement in the climate, because the majority of the world creating air pollution isn't even in the United States and doesn't care about their carbon footprint.

 

• NEW YORK'S REGULATORY ENLARGEMENT: Meanwhile, "Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said ... he has reached an agreement with legislative leaders over a bill to slash New York's greenhouse gas emissions, setting the stage for one of the most significant state climate victories since President Trump took office," E&E News reveals. "The legislation calls for reducing emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% by 2050. The remaining 15% of emissions would be offset, making the state carbon neutral. The bill would also require that all electricity generation come from carbon-free sources by 2040."

Solar and wind farms require clear cutting trees which is the primary reason for global warming

I bet you they will change the 2040 date when they  realize it's not possible and climate change can not be stopped its natural for the climate to change .

Don't you think there's a solution somewhere between having your head in the sand and Czar Andy's knee-jerk proposal?

On a lighter note - I thought zombies were going to destroy humanity as we know it, NOT climate change.

Yea tell the truth.  Want to protect the environment  create more  state parks  put garbage in the trash can . Less pollution in the oceans 

The idea humans are going to control the climate like the air conditioning in your home is insane it's not going to happen. May as well start doing  a rain dance .  There is not even a real scientific way to tell objectively if what we are doing is making a difference one way or the other .  And I do believe the climate is changing it always has been changing I also think humans do impact it . But is it something we can control  or worth trying to control.  No because in the long run it's not going to make a difference climate will change no matter what . 

Ps most the co2 is coming from places like china now good luck trying to tell them what to do .

The climate surrounds the planet.  If you believe climate change is man-made, every country on earth affects it.  What good does it do to penalize the residents of the State of NY with these onerous regulations and extreme costs, if the rest of the country, and the world for that matter, do nothing?

It's like being the only one on a sinking ship that's bailing and you're using a soup can to do it.  Futility defined.

Cuomo is using all of NY's citizens to pay for his quest to become POTUS.  That's never going to happen, as he's too much of a Leftist and a totalitarian.  However, that won't stop him from pushing a totalitarian, leftist agenda to prove how far he would go to appease leftist benefactors, like George Soros.

Those benefactors are pushing an agenda designed to bring western culture, freedom and liberty to it's knees.  That's what makes many intellectuals with open minds, question the entire climate change agenda to begin with.

BTW, those same leftist benefactors are also pushing for complete civilian disarmament, another ideal Cuomo embraces with extreme prejudice.  But I'm sure that's just an imagined coincidence.

Climate Change Indoctrination.  Cuomo is also pushing it.

On the bright side, it might reduce traffic congestion, as more able-bodied folks are pushed out of the state by the nonsense.  That evacuation will reduce the competition for our fish and game.  At least there is a "silver lining" to this misguided action.

It won't be worth the cost of living here.

Another idiot leftist governor in Oregon is trying the same stupid crap, but GOP members of her assembly are fighting it.  So she sends the State Police to get them.  You know how bad an idea is when you must use force to install it.  Why not just let citizens vote on it?  Oh, I forgot, it would never happen then.
