NatGas Use in NY Power Plants Expands, Despite Cuomo/Hochul

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his successor Kathy Hochul have blocked new natural gas pipelines from the "fracked gas" fields of neighboring Pennsylvania. They seem to be congenitally allergic to fossil fuels. Haters of natural gas. Cuomo also hates nuclear energy. He insisted on shutting down the Indian Point nuclear power plant that once provided 25% of New York City's electricity. All that juice has to come from somewhere. Thus far, one type of energy is standing in the gap to increase electricity production and prevent mass blackouts: natural gas-fired power plants.
