City and state lawmakers are amped up over a sudden rate spike that many New Yorkers are now seeing on their Con Ed energy bills—charges that could make it impossible for some to afford rent and their utilities. Brandy Bora, a corporate executive who rents a loft in Greenpoint, said her family’s Con Ed bill shot up from $300 in December to $850 last month—an increase, which, if sustained, will mean they’ll eventually be forced to move. “I don’t even know what to do,” Bora, who lives with her husband and their 6-year-old daughter, told the Daily News on Tuesday. “I literally can’t pay that.”

EVs have a bogus MPGe card showing equivalent of 100 miles per gallon. Guess who is going to subsidize all those vehicles. Nov '22 is the last chance to stop this.

Biden, AOC, Bernie, and all the rest are only doing exactly what they said they would do if elected. And you elected them. So put on a sweater, turn down the thermostat, dim the lights, and start shopping for an electric car. And by the way...put your mask on.

Green new energy is very expensive, and intermittent. Ask China. Ask Texas. Scuttling all the oil and gas, and coal projects has reduced supply, increasing prices to the utilities for oil and gas and coal needed to produce green energy.

Elections have consequences. That being said, all of New York can take solace in the fact that there are no more mean tweets.

I'll bet they all voted for Biden and now they wonder why this is happening. This is called one more example of the "Doctrine of Unintended Consequences."

People demanded Green energy and voted people who promised to give it to them good and hard. And in typical New York fashion, now they're complaining about it. What can you do? Go on welfare, get your utilities for free, and crank that thermostat however you like. You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
