Biden administration \u201cclimate\u201d and energy policies amounting to thousands of pages in regulations and hundreds of billions of dollars in grants and subsidies to uneconomic energy projects have been swiftly reversed. Examples in just the past few weeks include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The announcement by the Department of Energy just yesterday (May 12) of no fewer than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/articles\/energy-department-slashes-47-burdensome-and-costly-regulations-delivering-first-milestone\">47 regulatory reversals<\/a>, covering everything from ovens. to dehumidifiers, to clothes washers and driers, to shower heads, to dishwashers, and much, much more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-energy-department-clean-energy-wind-solar-batteries-hydrogen-fossil-fuels-cf1dff9ee771c566765e9ca3e3599d91\">Rescission of hundreds of grants <\/a>from the Department of Energy for so-called \u201cgreen energy\u201d projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similar <a href=\"https:\/\/shelterforce.org\/2025\/03\/14\/epa-terminates-already-awarded-climate-funding\/\">rescission of hundreds of grants from EPA<\/a>, supposedly to fund \u201cgreenhouse gas reduction\u201d and \u201cclimate justice\u201d initiatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/epa-launches-biggest-deregulatory-action-us-history\">Commencement by EPA of a process to undo the \u201cEndangerment Finding\u201d<\/a> \u2014 a regulatory action that underlies essentially all climate and energy regulation by that agency \u2014 and some 30 other climate and energy actions of EPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And these are just examples. There are many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, you would think that the blue states might take the hint. As a blue state, you had thought that you were embarking on an energy \u201ctransition\u201d with the full backing and support of the federal government, complete with its vast powers and its infinite checkbook. Sure, this was going to cost trillions of dollars; but it was almost all their money, not yours. If somehow it all didn\u2019t work out, you were not going to be the main one on the hook. Now, all that has changed. In the blink of an eye, there is no more support to be had from the infinite deep pocket. Not only is the federal government no longer your partner and financial sugar daddy, but it is even taking steps to obstruct and hinder your efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So going forward, is there any point? As a lone blue state, you don\u2019t remotely have the resources to expunge fossil fuels from your energy system on your own. Maybe, would it be best just to lie low for a few years and wait for the next friendly administration in Washington?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, if you are New York, that is not how you react. Your religious fervor is such that you are now prepared proceed totally on your own to defy the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Even as the federal government is telling New York to take a hike, here are some of the latest antics on the climate front from New York officials and climate activists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The State\u2019s 2025-26 budget just got enacted on Friday, May 9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/new-york-passes-budget-with-over-1-billion-investment-in-decarbonization\/#:~:text=New%20York%20Governor%20Kathy%20Hochul,the%20rollout%20of%20electrified%20transportation.\">ESG Today reported excitedly on Monday (May 12)<\/a> that the budget includes <em>\u201cover $1 billion investment in decarbonization.\u201d<\/em> Excerpt: <em>New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the state\u2019s 2025-2026 budget on Friday, which included more than $1 billion in climate change-focused investments, including funding to lower emissions from buildings and accelerate the rollout of electrified transportation. . .. Key climate-focused allocations in the new budget include $450 million targeting reductions in building emissions, including investments in energy-efficient retrofits and clean heating technologies like heat pumps, more than $200 million for thermal energy networks, $250 million to support electric school buses, fast-charging stations and a NYSERDA rebate program for installing EV charging stations, as well as $200 million for renewable energy expansion and grid modernization.<\/em> Nobody is impolite enough here to mention that $1 billion is chump change in the effort to get rid of hydrocarbon fuels. If you were serious about the effort, the number would be more like $1 trillion. But don\u2019t worry, nobody reading this stuff has sufficient numeric competency to understand that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New York City Comptroller Brad Lander \u2014 who is also a candidate for Mayor in the current election cycle \u2014 fancies himself a leader in the climate movement. Lander put out <a href=\"https:\/\/comptroller.nyc.gov\/newsroom\/as-trump-assaults-climate-progress-on-earth-day-comptroller-lander-pushes-forward-toward-net-zero\/\">a statement on April 22 <\/a>(\u201cEarth Day\u201d) setting forth his position: <em>New York City Comptroller Brad Lander decried threats from the Trump administration to dramatically roll back climate progress and stood with climate activists from New York Communities for Change, 350 NYC, and Fridays for Future to announce new actions by the Comptroller\u2019s Office to reduce New York City\u2019s emissions. . .. [T]o stand strong against federal rollbacks, Comptroller Lander is demanding more from the asset managers who manage funds for the New York City Employees Retirement System (NYCERS), Teachers Retirement System (TRS), and Board of Education Retirement System (BERS).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a prior statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netzeroinvestor.net\/news-and-views\/we-will-not-retreat-one-inch-nyc-pension-funds-double-down-on-climate-commitments\">on March 26, reported in Net Zero Investor<\/a>, Lander vowed that the City <em>\u201cwill not retreat one inch\u201d<\/em> on its climate program, despite the actions of the Trump administration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our local environmental activist groups brook no dissent from climate orthodoxy. On March 31, a group of four climate activist organizations sued the State government in an effort to force faster progress on greenhouse gas reduction goals. From <a href=\"https:\/\/nysfocus.com\/2025\/03\/31\/new-york-climate-law-lawsuit-hochul\">New York Focus, March 31<\/a>: <em>Four environmental and climate justice groups filed a <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/earthjustice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250331_final_petitionandcomplaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>lawsuit<\/em><\/a><em> Monday in a state court, claiming that New York is \u201cstonewalling necessary climate action in outright violation\u201d of its legal obligations. By not releasing economy-wide emissions rules, the suit alleges, the state Department of Environmental Conservation, or dec, is \u201cdefying the Legislature\u2019s clear directive\u201d and \u201cprolonging New Yorkers\u2019 exposure to air pollution \u2026 especially in disadvantaged communities.\u201d It\u2019s the first lawsuit to charge the state with failing to enforce the core mandate of its 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, or clcpa: eliminating nearly all of New York\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, there is plenty of bluster from local politicians and activists. But despite that, I can\u2019t find a word as to how they plan to meet the greenhouse gas reduction and green energy mandates of the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, now that all federal backing is withdrawn. As just one element, there was supposed to be 9000 MW of offshore wind built to replace on-shore fossil fuel power plants. Now the Trump administration is obstructing the offshore wind development. I haven\u2019t been able to find a word from New York elected or energy officials on how they plan to transitions the energy supply if they can\u2019t build the offshore wind facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we move forward with our officials in a state of bluff and bluster and denial, and no plan of any kind to meet the impossible mandates of the Climate Act. We all know that this is doomed to failure, but it will likely be a couple of years before we see the failure unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first 100+ days of the second Trump administration (it\u2019s now actually 113 days) have seen a near total abandonment of the fantasy that this one country\u2019s government can change the weather and \u201csave the planet\u201d by suppressing use of hydrocarbon fuels and impoverishing the people.
