New York energy policy is now being determined through elitist mobocracy as policy-makers everywhere attempt to appease virtue-signaling trust-funder types.

New York energy policy is a complete disaster. Energy In Depth has a great piece up noting the insanity and pointing out what Andrew Cuomo recently told Politico:

“I don’t build any fossil-fuel plants anymore, and I banned fracking, and I have the most aggressive renewable goals in the country.”

EID also demolishes Gov. Corruprocrat’s plan to divest the New York State Common Retirement Fund from fossil fuel investments, a move that could cost New York State’s pensioners more than $1 trillion.

Meanwhile, a group of trendy types from Cooperstown motored a half-hour south to Oneonta to oppose a natural gas decompressor facility there on the theory businesses being forced to burn oil in the winter should go solar rather get the additional natural gas they need. It is, in both cases, an elitist mobocracy that is setting New York energy policy.

The role of the Park and Rockefeller families in influencing New York energy policy through the funding of Walter Hang and various shill organizations is well documented on these pages. It is an elitist mobocracy at work. Our friend Jim Willis at the invaluable Marcellus Drilling News carried a great story the other day illustrating how it works at the local level.
