So you would prefer a nuclear reactor in neighborhood rather than a battery storage 🤔

Your NYSEG and National Grid bill you can't afford? They aren't the ones setting the rates. The Public Service Commission (PSC) is who approves new rate plans. And they meet monthly in the Agency 3 building in Albany, New York. I didn't know this until I attempted to visit the new ORES location in January. A handler escorted us out of the building (no one has called or emailed since) and let us know that the PSC holds PUBLIC meetings once a month in that same building. The next meeting? March 19, 2026 at 10:30AM EST. Location: Empire State Plaza, Agency Building 3, 19th Floor, Albany, NY 12223. The public is not allowed to ask questions... but it is your free right as a citizen of this state to sit in on this meeting. I believe if more of the public went to these meetings, the PSC would have to more carefully consider how they plan to destroy our lives with utility rate hikes. Additionally, none of us voted for those who sit on the PSC. It's compromised of 7 commissioners that are appointed by Governor Kathy Hochul. That should tell you all you need to know. The public needs to know the PSC does the following: they regulate electric delivery rates, gas delivery rates, infrastructure spending plans, rate increases (“rate cases”), and service quality standards. It's merely an arm of the governor's office tasked with implementing whatever green new deal, Climate Act, or carbon neutral agendas are pushed down the pipeline. We may not be able to vote out who sits on the PSC. But, I believe public participation in our government can start to change how these bureaucratic bodies treat the people of this state.

- A memo from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority warns that consumers could face significantly higher energy costs if the state continues on its current path to meet the goals of its landmark climate law. The memo, sent by NYSERDA, states that if the state fully implements regulations to meet the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act’s 2030 targets, it could add $2 to the price of gas and increase annual expenses by $4,000 for homes that use natural gas and oil. NYSERDA also acknowledges in the memo that there may not be enough energy to meet demand.

Canadian solar firms and hedge funds are snatching up our farmland in the NY north country, and smothering it with solar panels. Wintertime effectiveness: 8% of capacity. Where are we going to get the electricity to power all these new residential heat pumps with which lefty city and state regulations are replacing gas heating boilers? We're getting wintertime brownouts already.
