From The Manhattan Contrarian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0By Francis Menton<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I spent the day with my excellent collaborator Richard Ellenbogen cross-examining witnesses at the New York Public Service Commission\u2019s hearing on whether the pending rate increase request of our utility Con Edison should be approved. We had a lot of fun. Although the hearing was theoretically open to the public, they had no live video feed, and you had to register in advance to attend in person. It looked like everybody there was an interested party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the close of the hearing, we were invited (along with everybody else) to file a post-hearing brief by next Friday, December 12. The hearing provided us with lots of good material, and we will be putting together a good scathing screed as our contribution. You can look forward to a post on the subject next Friday or Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But meanwhile, the short version is that the witnesses put up by Con Edison and the Department of Public Service to support their settlement proposal claimed to know absolutely nothing about our objection. Don\u2019t feel bad for us. That\u2019s actually a damning admission, because the proponents of the rate increase need to establish a rational basis for it. If instead it is deemed \u201carbitrary and capricious,\u201d it will fail. Our position is that the rate increase is arbitrary and capricious because it provides ratepayer funding for mandates that have been admitted by the state to be \u201cinfeasible,\u201d and that will not happen during the period of the rate increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the single most striking example (among several), we had cited and quoted in our Statement of Opposition to the rate increase a 6 page letter submitted in August 2025 by the state Attorney General on behalf of the state government in a court proceeding, asserting that the goals of the 2019 Climate Act for emissions reductions by 2030 were \u201cinfeasible\u201d and would impose \u201cextraordinary and damaging\u201d costs on New Yorkers. We had asked for witnesses to address the issues raised in our Statement, and particularly how much ratepayer money was getting approved to then be wasted on infeasible goals that would not be met. Con Edison and Department of Public Service each put up about ten witnesses to answer our questions. But when asked, not one of them would admit familiarity with the state letter or that they had read it. Not one of them would answer whether the rate increase proposal contained ratepayer funding to support goals that the state itself had conceded were \u201cinfeasible,\u201d or would agree to quantify how much ratepayer funding was to be wasted on chasing infeasible goals. And then it went on downhill from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But meanwhile, there has been other news on the New York Climate Act front. On November 25 a Washington think tank called the Progressive Policy Institute put out a Report with the title \u201cNEW YORK’S CLIMATE CROSSROADS: ASSURING AFFORDABLE ENERGY.\u201d<\/a> <\/strong>The Report takes serious note that New York\u2019s \u201cclimate\u201d regime is in big trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not greatly familiar with PPI. Although they do not appear to be from the lunatic fringe, they are definitely a left-wing group, and from reviewing their website<\/a>, they clearly share the fundamental belief of the Left that the government can, and therefore must, solve all human problems. And with the word \u201cprogressive\u201d is in their name, they are not seeking to avoid association with the crazy wing of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet PPI has definitely taken a step outside the reservation here. With the orthodoxy enforcement that has been pervasive in the left-side climate space for two decades or more, there has been almost no criticism from that perspective of any or all efforts to achieve a forced march to climate net zero utopia. So it is no small event that PPI has now gone on record telling New York that its grand climate plans are crumbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, they don\u2019t use exactly those words. But they also are not scrupulously avoiding reality in the way of, say, the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll give you a few choice excerpts. Here is the opening line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York has established some of the nation’s most ambitious decarbonization targets, positioning itself as a leader in climate policy. However, the immense economic burden and practical challenges of implementing these mandates threaten their political viability. As the costs of this transition fall heavily on ratepayers and working families, a critical tension emerges between state-level climate objectives and the everyday financial realities faced by New Yorkers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just yesterday the official party line was that the \u201crenewables\u201d wind and solar were cheaper than hydrocarbon fuels for generating electricity, and therefore if your bills were going up it could only be because of nefarious deeds of some combination of evil actors, like the utilities or the oil companies, or maybe Donald Trump. So that opening statement from PPI represents a very significant shift toward reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 2019 New York Climate Act:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An assessment of New York’s progress against the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act), using the state’s own metrics, reveals a clear and undeniable pattern of failure across its most critical mandates. . . . New York is not on track to meet its targets. Progress on offshore wind and energy storage, two cornerstones of the state’s grid transformation strategy, is severely behind schedule. This poor performance is not an anomaly but a symptom of deeper, systemic pressures that are converging on the state’s energy system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then PPI goes so far as to describe the current situation as a \u201clooming crisis\u201d of both grid stability and and affordability, brought about by the state\u2019s own poorly-conceived policies and mandates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Looming Crisis: A Collision of Supply, Demand and Cost: New York is not on track to meet its targets. Progress on offshore wind and energy storage, two cornerstones of the state’s grid transformation strategy, is severely behind schedule. This poor performance is not an anomaly but a symptom of deeper, systemic pressures that are converging on the state’s energy system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, guys, welcome to the right side of history. Now that we have this crack in the dyke of left-wing unanimity for strict net zero mandates, perhaps the flood will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
