Andrew Cuomo pushed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act into law in 2019, as he polished his credentials for a potential future presidential run. <em>Advocates<\/em> for the Climate Action Plan admit the capital investments needed will surpass $300 billion, but Cuomo &amp; Co. simply ignored the costs, since they expected to be long out of office before reality hit home.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Albany can pretend that Con Ed and other utilities will pay the bills, not taxpayers. Except that utilities only get their income from ratepayers, who <em>are<\/em> the taxpayers. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The transition requires not just vast new wind-and solar farms, but new transmission lines and enormous investments in batteries and other power storage, because \u201cgreen\u201d energy is utterly weather-dependent. <\/p>\n<p>Shorn of subsidies, wind and solar are also far more expensive, so even if the infrastructure were <em>free<\/em>, utilities bills would still spike.<\/p>\n<p>Honesty about all this would\u2019ve sunk the plan, so Cuomo hid the truth, and the Legislature went along. Heck, Gov. Kathy Hochul is still pushing this insanity in a bid to bolster <em>her <\/em>im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te political future. So much for her vows to deliver the \u201ctransparency\u201d that Cuomo didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie for at least nixing Hochul\u2019s push to <em>immediately <\/em>ban new-building natural-gas hookups statewide, another favorite of the climate warriors even though gas is the lowest-carbon fossil fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Heastie, like anyone who seriously looks at the numbers (including all the utility execs <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>ly trying to comply with the plan) surely knows the law\u2019s mandated transition away from all fossil fuels by 2050 simply isn\u2019t achievable, not just with current <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> but any now on the horizon. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>We guess the speaker just figures calling out left-wing nonsense isn\u2019t his job. But Howard, a former Cuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointee and Assembly staffer, now has the freedom to sound the alarm.\u00a0\u201cThe Legislature, either through its silence or total lack of actions, has given this commission nearly the exclusive responsibility to reach into New Yorkers\u2019 pockets to pay for the CLCPA mandates,\u201d he thundered at a public PSC session.<\/p>\n<p>That is, Con Ed, National Grid and so on will take the early steps, then ask their regulators for rate increases to fund them, which the unelected PSC will grant \u2014 until the public finally wakes up to <em>demand<\/em> relief.<\/p>\n<p>Not that Howard\u2019s the only Democrat crying foul. Transport Workers Union Local 101 President Constance Bradley has also warned that Hochul\u2019s <em>expanded <\/em>zero-emissions plan would \u201cwipe out thousands of good union jobs.\u201d And TWU International President John Samuelsen gave the big picture: Democrats need to \u201cdecide whether they\u2019re for the working people or the elites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, since New York gets so much of its <em>tax<\/em> income from the rich, sticking the cost in utility bills instead is another burden on the poor and working class.<\/p>\n<p>Who <em>also <\/em>can\u2019t invest in home generators to keep the lights on when the blackouts hit: Empire Center experts want the current plan will within a few years leave the state up to 10% short of being able to meet peak demand.<\/p>\n<p>The sooner the state abandons this madness, the better. Consider it one more reason to vote out every New York Democrat you can come November.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
