Renewable Energy Sector Hails New York State’s New Climate Plan
Investors, developers and users of renewable energy at an industry conference in New York this week were buzzing about the state’s ambitious plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050.
“New York is leading a path forward with public policy that signals to the capital markets and developers to deploy projects to achieve its ambitious goals,” Susan Nickey, managing director at Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc , said on Wednesday. New York state lawmakers passed the legislation early Thursday morning.
If Governor Andrew Cuomo signs the bill into law as expected, New York would become the second U.S. state to aim for a carbon-neutral economy. California Governor Jerry Brown signed an executive order last year to make that state carbon-neutral by 2045.
Damn straight skippy. We are talking about serious government subsidies, minimal accountability and massive profits to be made by these people. Our tax dollars at work. I can hear them salivating from 2,600 miles away. Haven't had a rice bowl this big since the Obama shovel-ready jobs fiasco in 2010 - anyone remember Solyndra?
