Well, New York City morons, you elected Gov. Howler and Comrade Mayor, (title altered*)

so I hope you enjoy their plans for you.
Even if we stipulate that increased energy efficiency in New York buildings is a good thing, the emissions-reduction targets are financially burdensome and unrealistic. Cuomo’s appointees at the New York State Public Service Commission have mandated that buildings must slash their energy use by 600 trillion BTUs by 2030. But as economist Jonathan Lesser points out in a recent report for the Manhattan Institute, the New York Independent System Operator has projected that those energy savings will be about 51 trillion BTUs—or about one-twelfth the required amount.
Opposition to nuclear energy has compounded the problem. The Cuomo administration negotiated the premature closure of the Indian Point Energy Center, but city documents show that shutting the state’s nuclear plants will mean more reliance on natural gas. In California and New England, carbon-dioxide emissions increased immediately after nuclear plants were shuttered, with gas-fired generators replacing the nukes.
...
De Blasio justifies his new building rules with claims that New York can make massive cuts in energy consumption—but at 8.6 tons per capita, New York’s
CO₂ emissions are already the lowest of the 50 states. Nevertheless, de Blasio and Cuomo want to slash that figure to a paltry two tons per capita, a move that would put New Yorkers of 2050 on par with today’s residents of economic powerhouses like Gabon and the Dominican Republic.
But fear not: Comrade Mayor will never get cold in winter, or hot in summer: the rules are different for the commissars(after all, they're important).  Neither will Gov. Howler(he's rich and important, too).

The rest of you can freeze in the dark, because that's what it'll take to even try to meet their targets.
