NY Gov. Cuomo Says He’ll Block All New Gas-Fired Elec Plants

We're simply at a loss for words. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is not a dictator, or is he? Cuomo said on a recent campaign stop that he will unilaterally, illegally, block all new "fossil fuel" powered electric plants in the state, including clean-burning natural gas-fired plants. The man is delusional. He doesn't have that power--unless the sheeple that live in NY allow him to get away with it. We New Yorkers must rise up and stop this megalomaniac before he plunges NY into the ash heap of history. During a campaign event last Thursday, May 10, in Manhattan, Cuomo said with respect to new gas-fired electric plants: "I have not approved any new ones, and I won’t." He also said that the state currently has gas-fired plants "all over the state" and that the "long-term plan is to close them." Breathtaking arrogance! We've checked the state Constitution and we don't find anything in it that vests the governor with the power to ban specific types of businesses in the state, whether for energy or otherwise. Where does he get off?...
