Exclusive | EPA chief Lee Zeldin blasts NY green energy law as 'delusional' and a 'catastrophe'
"New York's lofty climate goals don't come equipped with any feasible plan to actually achieve them. The consequence is that the people who can least afford the economic pain are the ones who get targeted and harmed the most."
"This is a left-wing recipe for an energy and economic catastrophe. The idea that we can replace baseload forms of power with intermittent power like wind is simply delusional."
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin criticized New York's Climate Act, branding it "delusional" and a dangerous scheme that could lead to economic catastrophe. His comments followed the Trump administration's halt of the Empire Wind Power project, complicating New York's efforts to meet its ambitious emission reduction targets. Zeldin points out that the law lacks a practical plan for achieving its goals, which include significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on renewable energy sources. He stresses the need for revisiting the legislation to prevent economic harm to disadvantaged citizens.
