New York Bans Gas in Your House, Pays for Gas Pipeline to Micron

New York's so-called leaders banned natural gas hookups in new homes (see NY State has Fallen – Gas Stoves & Peaker Plants Banned in Budget). Gov. Kathy Hochul also froze new data centers across the state (see NY Gov. Hochul Goes BANANA, Bans Data Centers for at Least 1 Year). So it's more than a little rich that a county agency in Onondaga County just agreed to pay nearly $13 million to run a brand-new natural gas pipeline to Micron's giant chip plant in Clay, just north of Syracuse. And what do those chips power? Data centers. Just not in New York, apparently. Gas for Micron, but not for you. Data centers for other states, but not for this one. The hypocrisy is thick enough to spread on toast.
