New York Backtracks On Green Agenda As Energy Costs And Reliability Bite
In an article titled: ‘Blue States Backtrack On Green Agenda As Energy Costs And Reliability Bite’, Climate Dispatch mentions New York’s dismal attempt at climate ‘lawfare’. Will the energy reality factor arrive in the UK before net zero has upended the whole system?
– – –
As the only climate case that has made it to trial, New York’s case was a total and utter failure. In a recent dismissal, the state’s highest court found the case insufficient based on:
The City cannot have it both ways by, on one hand, asserting that consumers are aware of and commercially sensitive to the fact that fossil fuels cause climate change, and, on the other hand, that the same consumers are being duped by Defendants’ failure to disclose that their fossil fuel products emit greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.”
States are reversing aggressive green policies as energy costs, reliability, and failed climate lawsuits force a rethink. [Talkshop comment – not thinking in the first place?]
Ironically, New York recently bet on fossil fuels to combat reliability concerns.
After years of blocking pipeline proposals, Governor Kathy Hochul approved the Northeast Supply Enhancement project to avoid projected downstate shortages.
In her own words:
“As Governor, a top priority is making sure the lights and heat stay on for all New Yorkers as we face potential energy shortages downstate as soon as next summer.”
The state’s backtrack doesn’t just stop at pipelines. It is also trying to slow-walk implementation of its own landmark climate law, which requires a 40 percent emissions reduction by 2030 and 85 percent by 2050.
. . .
Bottom Line
The political ground is shifting beneath the most climate-ambitious states. These climate 180°s are the inevitable outcome of aggressive climate targets that were never grounded in the realities of cost or reliability. When energy bills rise and grids struggle to keep up, states return to the fundamentals of what works.
