New York City pushes the limits of green policies

Original Article

New York City has embraced a set of controversial policies that push the limits of green experimentation in seeking to reduce emissions from buildings, kitchen appliances, and cars. Critics argue the new policies are likely to be costly and burdensome for the city's millions of residents. New York City has drafted rules to slash carbon emissions from its roughly 50,000 buildings by more than 40% by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 — an ambitious goal, especially considering buildings in the city are the source of 70% of its total greenhouse gas emissions.

If anything they should be going in the opposite direction and be using natural gas as much as possible. We have a massive supply of natural gas in the south central US, and it is more efficient than electric.

As usual, they totally ignore the questions of capital availability as well as electric power availability. Both of those make their plans to be utter insanity.

I guess NYC can't lose residents fast enough that they have to help them out the door. All that will be left will be criminals and politicians (but I repeat myself).

I don't suppose Gov Murphy (NJ D) would think of instituting a retribution tax. How about a car registered in NY to pay a pound of flesh to NJ when they enter? Good for the goose...

Can't have industry, can't have farming, can't have cars or trucks. Just exactly what are NY residents supposed to do to earn a living, besides move to a saner state? Tourism is not going to cut it.

Former President Donald Trump went on the attack on Tuesday evening, slamming the 'deranged prosecutor' who is threatening a new set of charges related to the 2020 elections and who has already charged him over the handling of classified documents. It came as the federal judge overseeing the documents case in Florida signaled she could delay the trial until 2024 after hearing from the former president's lawyers that they needed more time to prepare for such complex legal proceedings. Judge Aileen Cannon told Trump's team to set out a concrete timetable for her, but added that she understood they needed more time to review evidence.

Conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin accused U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and a variety of state and local prosecutors of interfering in the 2024 election Tuesday. In a blistering post on Twitter, shortly after news broke that former President Donald Trump was a target of Smith’s grand jury investigation, Levin accused prosecutors of trying to smear Trump and disqualify him. (Tweet) Levin wrote, in part: The seriousness of what is being done to Donald Trump by local and federal Democrat prosecutors cannot be overstated. It is alarming. It is shocking.

President Joe Biden welcomed President Isaac Herzog of Israel to the White House on Tuesday, but attention quickly shifted from the importance of the allies' meeting to whether Biden would make it through the photo opportunity with members of the press intact. As cameras rolled, Biden told the president of Israel that he doesn't remember "two-thirds" of the past 75 years since Israel was established. Most of those, of course, Biden served in the United States Senate. (Tweet/Video) Biden then proceeded to make remarks to his counterpart — a critical ally of the United States in the Middle East —

Members of the progressive House "Squad" on Tuesday voted against a resolution to affirm that Israel is not a racist or apartheid state, just days after a fellow left-wing lawmaker landed in hot water for labeling Israel that way over the weekend. Nine Democrats voted against the measure, which ultimately passed, 412-9, and saw one other Democrat, Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., vote "present." Democrats who voted against the measure were Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Cori Bush of Missouri, Andre Carson of Indiana and Delia Ramirez of Illinois.

Joe Biden has allowed more than half a million migrants to enter the U.S. legally since taking office, the highest levels since the 1990s, according to unpublished data first obtained by CBS News. The president's administration has welcomed over 500,000 aliens over the past two years under programs designed to reduce the number of illegals who try to sneak across the border with Mexico. CBS News reported the increase in legal arrivals came after U.S. officials used what is known as 'parole authority' to allow foreigners who lack visas to come to America.

Back on June 8, two massive political stories broke, but ONLY one of them got covered by the broadcast networks. On June 8, former President Donald Trump was indicted by the Special Counsel in the classified documents case. That very same day, it was reported that President Joe Biden had allegedly received $5 million dollars from an executive of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, the same company in which his son Hunter was involved. Over 39 days (June 8-morning of July 18) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 527 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment.

Bud Light critics are flocking to slam the beleaguered beer brand with abuse as it resumes regular posting following a hiatus amid the Dylan Mulvaney fallout.

Bud Light's social media teams retreated into the shadows in mid-April following the backlash and the beer giant disavowed the disastrous campaign.

Republicans running the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Hunter Biden say that an FBI agent told them the Joe Biden transition team was tipped off the night before Hunter's interview with investigators. The Committee is looking into whether officers delving into Hunter Biden's tax affairs and his lying about drug use on a gun permit gave the 53-year-old preferential treatment. Two IRS whistleblowers - one anonymous, the other named Gary Shapley - have claimed that Hunter Biden was treated more leniently than ordinary Americans.

Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,”(snip) Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted(snip) you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

In an effort to reduce plastic use, New York will start fining restaurants and third-party delivery services that provide disposable utensils, soy sauce packets, and similar items without the customer requesting them. In late June, New York City announced plans to implement its new “Skip the Stuff” bill, which aims to reduce plastic use by fining restaurants and delivery services handing out unsolicited plastic items like ketchup and cutlery. Food vendors and delivery services have a moment to adapt. Actual fines won’t start being handed out until July of 2024, and until then, violators will only receive warnings, Bloomberg reports.

Don’t you just love primaries? It’s a time when people who generally get along just fine turn into Yankees and Red Sox fans on a bender during the playoffs. It’s not fun to be around, and it’s not all that much fun to be a part of. Unless it’s happening to Democrats, of course, in which case you root for as long of a fight as possible. But this year it’s not happening to Democrats, at least not yet, it’s happening to Republicans, and there’s a better than average chance it’ll screw up the country going forward.

If there was any confusion left about who Lia Thomas really is (besides being a man), this latest development settles the issue once and for all. Thomas initially gained fame for dominating NCAA women’s swimming as a “transgender” athlete. Prior to that, he had languished for years competing against his biological peers in the men’s league. Interspersed with what was being seen in public at the time was a battle behind the scenes. As multiple women have testified, Thomas invaded women’s locker rooms, flaunting his decidedly male genitalia with no care for their comfort. Meanwhile, college administrators essentially threatened the female athletes who objected, asserting that the issue was decided
