"Get ready for the lights AND heat to go out" -via @nypost

#CLCPA #NYActsOnClimate by sacrificing #ReliableEnergy #GridReliability #AffordableEnergy in the name of #ClimateAction under #GreenDogma by ignoring #ReliableCarbonFree #NuclearPower nypost.com/2023/02/09/get…
"Québec last week avoided a blackout, despite the frigid Arctic cold snap, by importing electricity from New York. But it may be out of luck next time, along with the Empire State itself, thanks to the green rush to kill reliable sources of power."
The #CLCPA mandates that 70% of New York’s power come from renewables by 2030, and 100% carbon-free sources by 2040. But, New York’s doesn't have to lose reliable generating capacity to serve load when #solar or #wind plants can’t deliver.
"In other words, the state’s electric grid is growing ever more unreliable — even as the state is also pushing for far greater reliance on electric heat." Reports from @NewYorkISO have got more persistent and dire. nyiso.com/-/press-releas…
"The official [#CLCPA] plan... is for backup to be provided by 'DEFRs — dispatchable emissions-free resources.' Those are clean-power backup sources — but no such thing exists yet." See the DEFR needed deployed in 17 years @NewYorkISO's "2021-2040 Outlook" nyiso.com/-/the-outlook-…
@NewYorkISO "Yes, Hydro-Québec has agreed to supply the Big Apple with 1,250 megawatts of clean electricity. But @empire_hanley points out the deal 'does not obligate Hydro-Québec to provide power in winter.'" empirecenter.org/publications/a…
"California’s brownouts last year are a glimpse of the green-energy nightmare awaiting New York. This madness also guarantees soaring electric bills even when the lights are on, as wind and solar still cost more than traditional power generation." nypost.com/2022/09/09/cal…
"New York deserves a realistic energy plan before it’s too late."

We, partnering with labor groups, proposed exactly such a plan to provide for a prosperous and sustainable future with abundant, reliable, clean energy. #BrightFutureNY @GovKathyHochul nuclearny.org/bright-future/
Act now by asking @GovKathyHochul to not follow #Germany and #California, heed the warnings of @NewYorkISO + New York State Reliability Council; and course correct New York towards a prosperous & sustainable future. nuclearny.org/action/

With the goal to catalyze more rapid and coordinated action across the full technology value chain, @ENERGY's #NuclearLiftoff establishes a common fact-base for the private sector for critical clean energy technologies. #BuildNuclearNow 1/x liftoff.energy.gov/wp-content/upl… Image
Regardless of level of #renewables deployment, to achieve net-zero in the U.S. by 2050 requires ~550–770 GW of additional clean, firm capacity. Modeling results indicate demand for 200+ GW of new nuclear capacity. #AdvancedNuclear 2/x Image
Multiple system-level decarbonization modeling exercises over the last 2 years have concluded that, especially with estimates for #renewables buildout that account for limitations from #transmission expansion and #LandUse, significant new #nuclear power would be required by 2050. Image

"The past few weeks have seen a radical change in the outlook for nuclear energy... France... European Union... the change in tone is remarkable..." nationalreview.com/2021/12/the-ne…
"[T]he arrival of a force of fierce female fission freedom fighters on the political battlefield is having a real impact, reshaping the nuclear message into a form congenial to progressives."
"[In 2016] Trump defeated Clinton in the presidential election. While many of Clinton’s disappointed supporters sought solace in blaming the defeat on racism, sexism, or Putin, a cold, hard look at the electoral map told a different story."

PRESS RELEASE: New York Negates All Wind & Solar Deployed Statewide by Closing Indian Point Reactor 2. More Fossil Fuels, More Pollution Without Nuclear Energy nuclearny.org/ip2-press-rele…
"By shutting down just one half of this nuclear plant, New York did more damage to the climate than destroying every wind turbine and solar panel in the state."
Those who rallied for the shutdown are still pondering how long it will take to "replace" the electricity from Indian Point with renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE). Data from the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) reveals that replacement power is gas.
