You don’t know anything about NY politics. Thats irrelevant.
The previous governor was from NYC and Westchester, and shutdown the primary source of base-load electricity for that region. The plan here is that lots of solar farms will replace actual farms, which is deeply unpopular in rural areas and will kill the tax base, as localities won’t be able to set assessments independently. The other thing is to import more electricity from Hydro Quebec. (Which is a weird environmentalist play)
I think heat pumps are great, and invested in one myself. But inflicting needless pain in millions of people is, like I said, bad public policy. And the counter reaction will roll this back and have a worse net impact on the State.
