Haven't the democrats done enough damage?
Time to vote them out of office.
'Insane energy policies are set to burn Democrats in New Jersey, New
York'

'New York’s state Public Service Commission just OK’d big National Grid rate increases that’ll hike many upstate utility bills by $600 a year — fueling outrage Democrats will soon feel.
Downstate, Con Edison is seeking an 11.4% hike to electric bills and
13.3% gas hike — largely thanks to green-energy mandates that Gov. Kathy Hochul embraced along with the rest of the party.
The “climate agenda” is delivering pain we’ve long warned of, in New
York and New Jersey.

Across the Hudson, electric bills as much as tripled this summer — and
could cost Democrats the Jersey governor’s race.
“Once they realize that Democrats’ bungled energy policies are to blame
for their exploding utility bills as well, it could blow November’s race
wide open,” warned Bethany Mandel last week.
Yes, GOP Gov. Chris Christie shares in the blame for the Garden State’s madness, but it started with the Democrats before him and accelerated
under Dem Gov. Phil Murphy, who let the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant
close in 2018 and aggressively shut down fossil fuel-powered electricity sources.
New York’s worst-in-the-nation Climate Action Plan began under Gov.
Andrew Cuomo but then Hochul doubled down on closing reliable
natural-gas power plants and pretending expensive — and less reliable — solar and offshore wind installations could not only replace them, but
make up for growing electric demand.

Both states are using more electricity than ever — even as “decarbonization” prevented supply from growing to match.
Even without soaring power demands for data centers and AI, green
policies that push ever-more consumers to need electricity for cooking,
home heating and vehicles put added strain on the grid.
Hochul’s belated push for new nuclear reactors upstate comes too late to
stop the crunch; even “clean power” advocates admit the high risk will cause chaos for New York’s power grid.
Democrats who locked both states into this idiocy certainly should pay
the political price.
Murphy barely won re-election in 2021; Hochul came shocking close to
losing in 2022 — and all the issues that boosted Republicans then
remain.
Now Democratic policies are delivering soaring utility bills in both
states — and voters will know who to blame'
