New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has approved permits to expand the capacity on a large BI-state pipeline, despite years of pushing green policy such as prohibited on the use of natural gas in new construction.
The administration of Hochul has registered with permits to expand the capacity in the Iroquois Pipeline-a crucial route of 414 miles from St. Lawrence County-Nabij De Border with Cornwall, Ontario, over the adirondicut, below Long Island Sound. And forken in the direction of Commack, Long Island or Hunts Point, Bronx.
That step comes if the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Ministry of Environment admitted that the approvals “are not consistent with” the limits of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the state that have been imposed in recent years, according to the New York Post.
Hochul said this week that just like she tries Institute $ 500 “Inflation Refunds” For families with the middle-to-layer income, that money goes “right the door” to consolidated Edison (Coned).

Coned, the most important utility provider in New York City and Long Island, is planning to implement 11.5% increases of electrical rates and 13% increases from the gas rates – in the amount of around $ 500 per year – unless the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) board, according to FOX-5.
The PSC is already under pressure from Hochul to check the salaries of coned executives in the midst of chattering about the speed increases. The actions of Hochul come after years of harsh action against the production and consumption of fossil fuels by Democrats in New York.
In 2019, then-gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act of the then Sen. Todd Kaminsky, D-Long Beach, which removed the state from fossil fuels and established a Net-Zero goal in 2040.
Two years later, the State closed the mass production facility for Indian Point nuclear energy on the Hudson River opposite Haverstrawaw.
Cuomo said at the time that he had been concerned about the safety of the factory for years. “It is not part of the Hudson River and in the vicinity of the most densely populated area in the country … This is a victory for the health and safety of New Yorkers, and brings us a big step closer to achieving our aggressive beauty energy goals. “
Albany Democrats, led by Hochul, have since banned ovens and gas heating in new construction.
The governor also announced one “Cap and Invest” Program to force large oil to invest in green energy to be paid for emissions. According to the post, a report from the PSC also indicated that Coned and colleague National National Grid were also “barely able to deliver enough (energy)” during a recent Arctic storm that temperatures near 0 degrees Fahrenheit to the Empire State brought.

Regarding Hochul’s efforts to control Coned, the Republicans agreed that the tariff increases are outrageous and that specific step would not help.
“Natural gas is a proven, reliable source of energy and essential for consumers in the northeast,” said the minority leader of the state of Will Barclay. “The green dreams of extremists of the environment are useless if people cannot heat their houses in mid -February. It is incredible to see radical liberals protesting against a necessary measure with which New Yorkers can stay warm in the winter. But reliability, affordability and common Sense have never been priorities of the New York climate cult. “
In addition, the Natur-Gas-rich southern southernmost of the state-of-one area of ​​200 miles that runs roughly from Jamestown to Hancock along the border with Pennsylvania-rated by a ban on fracking, the state legislators of which represent the area, still have not successfully reversed fought.
This, even if communities only a few miles south in Pennsylvania, natural gas continues from the same Marcellus Shale range on their side of the line.

Hochul added to the ban by further banning a new, safer form of fracking with the help of carbon dioxide instead of liquids.
While the former government of Pennsylvania Tom Wolf performed a moratorium on the fracking of State Parkland, there has been no fracking activity to talk about the NY-17-Gang for many years.
After then-gov. David Paterson announced the original Fracking – Moratorium of the State in 2008 – later an outright prohibition under Cuomo – some villages in the southern layer of which the economies were dependent on energy production. To separate themselves to Pennsylvania.
