Why Lights Will Go Out in NYC

Sooner or later, if you keep electing leftists who take global warming BS seriously, the lights will go out. In New York, it is likely to be sooner.

Envirofascist Governor Andrew Cuomo blames the people who provide energy for the problems caused by his refusal to leave them alone. Specifically, he has ordered the Department of Public Service to “broaden its investigation” into National Grid.

The utility has stopped taking new gas customers in parts of Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens where it can’t handle the new demand — because Team Cuomo vetoed the proposed Williams pipeline to bring in supplies from New Jersey.

Months in advance, National Grid warned there would be a moratorium. So did Con Ed in Westchester, for the same reason; they need new pipelines. Cuomo won’t allow them because the polar bears or whatever.

Blocking pipelines comprises only a small part of Cuomo’s war on energy. He senselessly made a fracking ban permanent in 2014. He has forced the shutdown of Indian Point, which provides 25% of NYC’s electricity, starting next year. Crazier still,

In 2015 he pledged to run the state on 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. New York actually lost ground on that front last year, but he just upped it to 70 percent — and 100 percent by 2040.

It is not conceivable that New York could run on 100% green energy given currently existing technology and energy requirements.

Remember the New York City Blackout of 1977? Riots raged. There were over 1,000 cases of arson. Stand by for an ongoing reprise if moonbats are not removed from power.
