New York residents pay some of the highest energy prices in the U.S., largely due to environmental policies that restrict the supply of fossil fuels to the region. A May report by the Consumer Energy Alliance found that New Yorkers paid 44 percent more than the national average for energy in 2017, despite the state neighboring the natural gas-rich state of Pennsylvania.

I hate this state and city.

The worst part would be leaving friends and family behind.

There are only two reasons for a license or permit: control and revenue. New York just exercised one of those options and I hope they pay dearly for it. All that investment capital is gone and investors should be outraged.

Hopefully a lesson for any remaining “capitalist” ventures looking to do business in the Peoples Republic of NY. NY welcomes Billionaire/Globalist self declared “socialists”, but regular ol’ Capitalism? A big F.U. from N.Y. I guess they want some silicon valley type “businesses”. Maybe Bezos will throw a few billion into NY. He won’t need electricity, just the Sun and wind.

after the state refused to renew an air permit for one of the company’s natural gas power plants, shutting down the plant four days before it was scheduled to open.

Cuomo is playing election-year politics and optics. Stupid leftists here in New York cheer every step back to primitiveness, or cost increase, with glee.

Keep telling yourself too we live in a free-market and rule-of-law society, too.

I’m wondering how in the world someone thought it was worthwhile to build not just one but three solar power installations near Rochester, of all places. Panels covered by snow 7 months out of the year ain’t going to generate squat.

"New York residents pay some of the highest energy prices
in the U.S., largely due to environmental policies
that restrict the supply of fossil fuels to the region."

But according to Gov. Cuomo the energy is "affordable."
His environmental policies are keeping it affordable.
It must be "affordable" since New Yorkers are paying their bills.
They might be getting financially gouged every
month in the name of clean energy, but they're getting their electricity.

When will the rolling brownouts occur?
New Yorkers, keep voting for Democrat lunatics.
You will deserve the results of the choices you make.

***shutting down the plant four days before it was scheduled to open. ***

Do they mean they shut it down before STARTUP, the proper term.

Others side of the coin:

In a letter to CPV, DEC Regional Director Kelly Turturro wrote that the company was required to submit a complete application and obtain a federal Clean Air Act permit prior to operation of the facility. She wrote that CPV has not submitted an application for a permit nor has a permit been issues as required.

Cuomo’s longtime associate Joseph Percoco was convicted of Federal charges of bribery, etc. in conjunction with CPV permitting for construction of the power plant and it’s NG spur pipeline.
