  • Hochul’s Energy Infrastructure Development Plan: Rhetoric, Not a PlanOctober 6, 2026
    My most recent post argued that  it is time for New York to decide what the future energy system should look like.  On September 22, 2026, Governor Hochul announced an Energy Infrastructure Development Plan (EIDP) as part of her Clean, Highly Affordable, Reliable, Grid Expansion (CHARGE) agenda. The announcement says the EIDP will provide “an … Continue reading "Hochul’s Energy Infrastructure Development Plan: Rhetoric, Not a Plan"
  • Time to Decide What New York’s Energy Future Should Look LikeOctober 5, 2026
    I have not updated my Reasons to Pause the Climate Act page in months. In the meantime, the evidence that the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (Climate Act) approach is unworkable keeps piling up and has reached the point that I think it is time to decide what New York’s energy future should look … Continue reading "Time to Decide What New York’s Energy Future Should Look Like"
  • Horseshoe Solar – Unacceptable Solar Project ImpactsOctober 2, 2026
    On September 29, 2026, the New York State Senate Minority Conference’s Energy Roundtable focused on Solar, Wind and ORES was held at the Onondaga Town Hall. One of the speakers, Janet Glocker, talked about the Horseshoe Solar project and graciously agreed to share her presentation with me. Horseshoe Solar is another example of a project … Continue reading "Horseshoe Solar – Unacceptable Solar Project Impacts"
  • Independent Intervenors Tell NYPA: Reliability Must Come First in New York’s Clean-Energy TransitionSeptember 30, 2026
    On September 2, 2026, the five Independent Intervenors—Roger Caiazza, Morris Cox, Richard Ellenbogen, Francis Menton, and Constantine Kontogiannis—participated in the New York Power Authority’s annual Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (“CLCPA”) conferral process. New York Power Authority’s (NYPA’s) conferral process is intended to collect information and stakeholder views on the State’s progress toward CLCPA … Continue reading "Independent Intervenors Tell NYPA: Reliability Must Come First in New York’s Clean-Energy Transition"
  • Explaining the Grid Does Not Acknowledge the Need for DEFRSeptember 26, 2026
    Matt Estes’s recent Explaining the Grid Substack post, “Wind and Solar will always, without exception fail us when we need electricity the most,” correctly objects to an overly broad claim about renewable generation. Existing wind and solar facilities plainly do produce useful energy and can reduce fuel use, emissions, and—at some times—system stress.  But the … Continue reading "Explaining the Grid Does Not Acknowledge the Need for DEFR"
