Don’t buy the propaganda from the climate extremists that Governor Kathy Hochul’s signature on a bill forcing homeowners to pay for natural gas hookups was a win for the environment. In actuality, it’s exactly the opposite.
The environmental extremists have long been trying to end the use of natural gas in New York. It’s a bonehead policy position. They ignore the fact that it’s the expanding use of natural gas that was primarily responsible for the sharp decline in America’s carbon footprint over the past two decades, while other nations around the world were increasing theirs. The reason we’ve cleaned our air is that natural gas offered a cleaner alternative to dirtier coal and oil.
But that wasn’t enough for the extremists. They wanted no fossil fuels at all and unrealistically called upon us to rely on wind and solar to meet our energy demands. They were lying back then when they said these alternative fuels could keep our lights on and now they’re having to backtrack on all their unrealistic time frames that are not even coming close to being matched…
