Cracks in the NY Climate Act Facade

After five years of hype a couple of recent reports show that New York’s Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (Climate Act) is not going as planned.  Maybe there is hope that the ill-considered net-zero transition plan can be halted before it does irreparable harm to the state.

Clean Energy Standard Biennial Report

The Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (Climate Act) requires that the Public Service Commission (PSC) issue a review for notice and comment that considers “(a) progress in

meeting the overall targets for deployment of renewable energy systems and zero emission sources,

including factors that will or are likely to frustrate progress toward the targets; (b) distribution of systems by size and load zone; and (c) annual funding commitments and expenditures.”  The recently released Clean Energy Standard Biennial Review Report (“Biennial Report”) fulfills some aspects of that requirement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
