Gov. Cuomo thinks he can rise to the presidency on the back of energy consumers

[Madmallard]

The summer is almost done. Many of us who live in the Northeast are not looking forward to winter. The progressives are sticking it to us.

Thanks to what The Wall Street Journal calls an “energy blockade,” we face an energy crisis.

Here's the story: NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has banned fracking, the drilling technology that releases natural gas from shale buried deep underground. There's a vast supply in New York, and it’s cheap, but you are not allowed to go get it.

And, Governor Cuomo is blocking pipelines that would deliver natural gas to the rest of New England.

Ah, witness the power of the greens, and the governor's presidential ambitions. Even though natural gas emits much less carbon, environmentalists hate it…it is, after all, just another wicked fossil fuel. Governor Cuomo thought green would play big in national politics!

So here we are, a month from a chilly fall. Coal-fired power plants are shutting, and the nuclear plant at Indian Point is scheduled to close. Energy costs in the Northeast are way above neighboring regions.

And we are not allowed to go get the cheap natural gas that lies in abundance under our own feet. And we're not allowed to pipe it in from elsewhere.

That is indeed an energy blockade...

Governor Cuomo thinks he can rise to the presidency on the back of long suffering energy consumers. Perhaps he needs to re-calculate. Winter is coming, and New Englanders will have little patience with politicians who make life expensive because they think they are “saving the planet.”

Rob Astorino for Governor..
all for opening Fracking, our Guns, no Political Correctness, no common core..made a promise to his Westchester people to not raise County taxes in the highest county in the lands..7 years and he's still holding the promise. FUCK CUOMO and his gang of mob degenerates!

..remember this when you vote people..and please PLEASE tell everyone you know.

@4excal, when will Rob announce his gubernatorial candidacy? Until then he is just a local politician asking for my money who I don't get to vote for.

BTW I will support him if he become the Republican candidate, I did last go round.

Any idea as to his running mate? If it is Sheriff Moss I can put my 4'x8' Astorino / Moss campaign sign back in use!

Take Action on Climate Change -- Show Your Support Today
Dear Fellow New Yorker,

In response to the United States withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo joined California Governor Edmund G. Brown and Washington Governor Jay Inslee to launch the U.S. Climate Alliance, a coalition of states committed to taking aggressive action on climate change.

If Washington will not act on climate change then New Yorkers must. Will you show your support for the U.S. Climate Alliance and the fight to protect our climate?

Add your name in support of protecting our climate

As the federal government abdicates its responsibility and ignores basic science, states across the nation are picking up the mantle of climate leadership. Since launching last month, the U.S. Climate Alliance has grown to include 14 member states and territories, representing more than 30 percent of Americans.

The coalition builds on New York’s ongoing efforts to advance energy efficiency, renewable energy programs and make our world a better place for our children, including:

• Launching the Clean Energy Standard: The most comprehensive and ambitious clean energy mandate in the state's history, the Clean Energy Standard requires that 50 percent of electricity in New York come from renewable energy sources like wind and solar by 2030 and sets ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to reduce emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030

• Leading on Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative: New York has partnered with eight other eastern states to reduce power plant carbon emissions 50% by 2020 from 2005 levels while creating jobs, reducing electricity bills and providing $5.7 billion in public health benefits.

• Pioneering Offshore Wind: New York approved the nation's largest wind energy project off the Long Island coast in 2017 and made an unprecedented commitment to develop up to 2.4 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030.

• Supporting Clean Transportation: New York is building a statewide electric vehicle charging network, and providing substantial rebates to consumers and communities to encourage the purchase of clean, efficient, high performance electric vehicles.

• Supporting Climate Smart Communities and Clean Energy Communities: New York is providing critical resources for local action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and implement clean energy projects.

The reckless decision to leave the Paris Accord will not change New York’s strong commitment to achieving our climate goals. Add your name now if you’re ready to fight and protect our climate

There has never been a more important time to join this cause. Together, we will continue leading the fight against climate change and protect our future – no matter what happens in Washington.

Quick math: 14 States and 30% of the population completely stopping all CO2 emissions could account for roughly a 4% decrease in world wide total output.
The efforts listed above would represent considerably less as a percentage of the total world wide output. So basically...a drop in the bucket at the considerable expense to taxpayers.
Pandering this is. Nothing more.

He will look like a fool when his green plan backfires, but all the snowflakes who support him wont care since they do not understand economics and only care about the handouts

He raps now too?! I didn't know they had microphones in the dark middle ages

Neo-Liberals are willing to let loose: murderers, child rapists, gang-bangers, and home invaders into our neighborhoods while hating victims and the hardworking police, if Neo-Liberals do not mind unsafe streets, they likely will not care about the cold, all they know is they LOVE retarded Liberal policies.
