Cuomo green raw deal

While Bernie Sanders blabs socialist rhetoric and pushes the 'green new deal' with pal AOC, Cuomo is DOING IT, as he says. It appears that the objective is to deindustrialize New York State. The state's Democrats have morphed into the Green Party with their 'keep fossil fuels in the ground' agenda. Cuomo says he intends to make the high-volume horizontal fracking ban permanent; he continues to penalize the fossil fuel industry with the stated objective of driving it out of business.. His 2020 budget address exulted in spending $33 billion to fight climate change through financing wind and solar. All ain't going well, though. The bureaucracy he put in place is too slow for Cuomo. Too slow. He intends to "flip it". What does that mean? We'll soon see. Meanwhile, Cuomo's Climate Action Council (CAC) is almost assembled: greenies all, what else? They will hold hearings (Delphic, no doubt} around the state to induce capitulation to the anthropogenic global warming/climate change mandate. Madness, of course - akin to T.D.Lysenko, Joseph Stalin agriculture guru and expert on all things botanical. Backed up by Stalin, Lysenko's reign of ignorance and terror crippled Russian agriculture and genetics for 30 years. Cuomo is Stalin and Lysenko rolled into one, unless one can count the NRDC (etc) and the UN as his Lysenko. Cuomo's game plan was for the state to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by huge amounts by 2030 and 2040 and 2050. Impossible, unless rural New York is covered with glass and industrial wind turbines. And even then, it won't happen; the grid won't be able to handle it as the Australians learned when had to rely on 'renewables' for more than 10 percent of their energy. First off, the CO2 bugaboo is madness. Carbon dioxide, a trace element crucial for plant life, exhaled by all of us, ain't a problem. Madness two: a rational response to the plan not working might consider that the plan is unworkable. But Cuomo doubles down: go faster, flip it on its head, get the bureaucracy out of the way, perhaps do away with home rule (temporary suspension?), use eminent domain. After all, it's a crisis is it not, Governor?
