Elections coming? Reality coming?

At least we're getting a break from having this junk rammed up our @$$. For now.

New York cancels major offshore wind energy solicitation

The state cited federal disruptions and market uncertainty in canceling its request for upward of 4,000 megawatts from offshore wind.

New York State on Friday cited "federal disruptions" and "market uncertainty" in canceling its latest and largest request for new offshore wind energy, months after several bidders had already pulled out of the process.

Nixing the solicitation puts an end, for now, to a plan that foresaw potentially thousands of new wind power arrays in deep waters off New York and New Jersey.

In a statement Friday, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which administers the state’s clean energy programs, said it "would not be prudent" to move ahead with its prior request for proposals for upward of 4,000 megawatts for offshore wind "given the current level of uncertainty" in the nascent, and troubled, U.S. offshore wind market. The bidding closed without an award "at this time," NYSERDA said.

These folks had a strong presence at a NJ show this year.

They'll be back. Right now,NYC has mandated ALL NYC Co-op buildings convert to electric by 2030. Supplying that energy is going to be interesting.

More like a disaster.

Interesting, Con Ed has my entire street dug up and are installing new gas pipes into our buildings I may have to move to Fla and have @MOJOE adopt me, or rent @Chevy1 She Shed.

Beating the future prohibition of natural gas hookups ?

Actually the law puts emissions caps on most all buildings with some exceptions. The emissions coefficients used to calculate total emissions vary based on the fuel type skewed against fossil fuels . Most buildings avoid the fines by being under the emissions threshold set for the first benchmark year (2024) with a lowering of the threshold for 2030 when many buildings have to start paying fines for exceeding the emissions threshold limits.
In terms of gas, no new hook-up for Bldgs less than 7 stories starting 2023, 2027 for new buildings over 7 stories. For existing buildings you can keep using gas , keeping in mind the threshold limits and penalties.
The cost and practicality to convert many of the existing buildings can be prohibitive, especially if occupied -a lot easier said than done- many owners will just pay the fine
