...to date, relative to this project there exists no environmental impact statement, no feasibility study, no prototype, and no demonstration project to show how this can be done, let alone any detailed cost analysis to show...

The fatal flaw is that New York City requires dedicated resources to replace existing generation when it is needed to keep the lights on. 

You’re going to have to hold a new auction. And the prices that will be bid will be as high or higher than those just demanded by these developers.

The proposed wholesale shift to unwanted technology without proper accounting of costs will be under intense scrutiny this year. 

Hey, these are just “suggestions.” Go ahead and spend twenty years and a few hundred billions of dollars trying to build it out. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. If it doesn’t, try something else.

In the political climate of Albany it is not clear how to get policy makers to consider the risks of ignoring the issues raised.

It is irresponsible to put out a plan to achieve the CLCPA’s goals while at the same time preventing New Yorkers from understanding the impact on their energy bills and the economy.

The climate cultists on the Climate Action Council think that they can just order this up, and then it will happen.

I also predict that if the ideologues continue control the implementation process then  costs will sky rocket, that there will be a catastrophic blackout that causes death and destruction, and that blanketing the state with...

The State’s obsession with being a climate leader is pointless.  Worse there is no recognition that the pursuit of zero emissions has unintended consequences and will likely cause more harm than good.

This report highlights multiple feasibility concerns that must be addressed to have any hope of this working.  I believe that it shows that implementation on the schedule proposed will prove impossible. 

I’m not fooling myself into thinking that this will have any immediate impact. I will say that among all the other speakers, not a one addressed or attempted to refute any of my points.
