Do they think we're idiots!

For those unfamiliar with industry jargon, the term “OREC adjustment” refers to Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificates, a classic green cost-shifting scheme in which local, state or the federal government pays wind developers an agreed-upon fee for each megawatt of power they build and deliver in locations favored by those governments. Those fees end up being worked into the utility rates paid by electricity consumers as part of an array of hidden charges on their monthly bills.

It just doesn't work economically without Fed, State incentives. And then fleecing the taxpayer. Look at Solar and EV's. Same issue.
 
Now it is becoming deadly for human life. You know, folks who rely on electricity for oxygen. You ever see somebody with a beeping machine telling them the battery only has 30 minutes left? Let that sink in. No care in the world except this downright sick agenda.

**New York Wind Power: Long Island's 2030 Energy Vision**

1. **Expanding Offshore Wind Energy**: In a groundbreaking move, Long Island is set to harness about half of its energy needs from offshore wind power by 2030. This is a significant leap forward for New York wind power, especially since offshore wind is not yet a major energy source on the local grid. LIPA's comprehensive roadmap includes not only offshore wind but also solar power, battery storage, and cutting-edge green technologies.

2. **Sustainable Energy Costs**: New York residents should anticipate a modest 2% yearly increase in their power supply charges, a necessary step for integrating sustainable energy into the state's grid. LIPA's leadership, under CEO Tom Falcone, assures that these costs are within manageable limits, signaling a promising future for New York wind power.

3. **Offshore Wind Industry Challenges**: The offshore wind sector in the U.S., pivotal to New York's green energy plans, faces financial headwinds. Orsted, a key player in the industry, has had to reassess major projects, casting a shadow on the Sunrise Wind project, crucial for Long Island's 2025 energy goals.

4. **LIPA's Strategic Shift**: Aligning with New York's green energy ambitions, LIPA is on the cusp of a major transformation, potentially becoming a fully public utility. This shift in governance aligns with the state's vision for a more sustainable and resilient energy future.

5. **2024 Budget and Phasing Out Fossil Fuels**: Reflecting New York's commitment to renewable energy, LIPA's 2024 budget indicates a slight increase in monthly bills, with a strategic plan to retire fossil-fuel plants by 2030. This move is a critical step in reducing the state's carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.

6. **Boosting Battery Storage and Solar Power**: In a significant push for renewable energy, LIPA plans to massively increase battery storage and solar installations. This surge in solar power and battery storage capacity underscores New York's commitment to leading the way in green energy.

7. **Import and Export of Power**: New York's energy landscape is set to change dramatically, with a decrease in power imports and an increase in the state's ability to export power, thanks to projects like Propel New York. This shift emphasizes the growing self-sufficiency and sustainability of New York's power grid.

8. **New York State's Offshore Wind Contracts**: The state has committed to a substantial 8,400 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030, with Long Island playing a key role. However, challenges such as community opposition and financial hurdles from developers pose potential risks to these ambitious plans.

9. **Planning for Wind Variability**: Recognizing the intermittent nature of wind power, LIPA's strategy includes robust backup resources to ensure consistent energy supply during periods of low wind. This foresight is crucial for maintaining a reliable and sustainable energy grid in New York.

This overview provides a glimpse into the exciting future of New York wind power, highlighting Long Island's pivotal role in the state's green energy transition by 2030.

Especially considering the first encounters with LIPA, this screams BOHICA!!!

So does this statement suggest that the Northport and Port Jeff Power Plant and the Offshore Platform in the LIS will be decommissioned? Sounds like it to me. Or maybe repurposed and the LIS will have some Windmills by 2050.
 
and they can fail to secure the radiactive waste. Gotta satisfy radical islamists somehow !
Seriously, Lawnguyland is still suffering from the panicked libs that shut down Shoreham. But didn' the "powers that be" here in the good ole USA just lessen funding for the mini reactors? Brookhaven still hasn't irradiated anyone (so far as we know.) France derives most of its electricity from nuclear reactors (71%). The beautiful people I saw in Paris, Nice, Marseille, etc. did not have bleeding gums, hair loss, etc. etc. So far hydrogen fuel cells haven't revolutionized the automotive industry. Yet. But could larger scale hydrogen fuel cells power us ? Regardless, the electric grid still has to be greatly expanded if we are going to continue to downsize the use of fossil fuels.

And then I saw “backed by government”. Ugh. Article did not discuss how much energy (fossil fuel, electric created by fossil fuel) it takes to make one gallon of this stuff.

Currently, it appears calm as these international corporations wait to benefit from an increase in our tax dollars. However, it's likely only a matter of time before the cycle of destruction resumes.
