New Yorkers' energy bills keep rising: Letters to the Editor - Feb. 8, 2025
Briefly

Gov. Kathy Hochul's green energy plan in New York is encountering backlash as Con Edison proposes significant rate increases. Critics argue that the plan is politically motivated and flawed, suggesting it lacks practicality and cost-effectiveness. They advocate for halting current initiatives in favor of more sensible energy solutions, particularly emphasizing the need for upgrades to the state's transmission systems. The article highlights frustration among residents regarding rising energy costs and the political decisions driving these changes, pointing out the historical negligence of fossil-fuel companies in addressing climate-related issues.
The energy plan for New York state needs to be halted and replaced with a sound, cost-effective program, beginning with upgrading the transmission systems.
We keep voting for the same candidates but expect a different outcome.
Fossil-fuel companies knew about the dangers of their emissions as early as the 1950s. They hid this knowledge with active misinformation campaigns.
This creates consequences for the truly insane: corporations that think they can continue to profit while creating an unlivable climate.
