The Post Editorial Board argues that New York's energy policies, particularly Governor Hochul's rejection of fracking, have resulted in significantly higher gas bills compared to Philadelphia. New York's reliance on expensive energy imports and costly renewable initiatives, like wind power, leads to increased utility costs. The editorial suggests that the state's substantial natural gas resources are being neglected, despite recommendations to bolster gas-energy infrastructure. Ultimately, the board critiques the environmental policies as ineffective concerning climate change and detrimental to New Yorkers’ financial well-being.
New York wouldn't have to worry so much about the risk to its energy imports from a possible US-Canada trade war if Gov. Kathy Hochul had embraced fracking for natural gas, rather than declaring war on carbon-based fuels.
The Hochul-Cuomo "Climate Action Plan" is sending utility bills soaring with hidden surcharges to fund windmill construction and other wildly costly flights of fantasy.
Sure would be nice if we were harvesting the state's huge supplies of natural gas, rather than importing the fuel (and electricity) from our neighbors.
All these green gestures don't actually put a dent in climate change, but only burden and endanger working New Yorkers.
