A longer piece on the NY results from banning gas pipeline construction.
I want people to see the results from this green new deal type program.

As you all know, the game plan of climate activists is to restrict and ultimately ban the use of carbon-based fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas. Don’t worry, those will all be replaced in due course with perfectly clean and free “renewables.” You won’t even notice that it is happening! At least until your price of electricity triples or you can’t heat your house any more.
I’ve long said that the politics of energy will change significantly when people start to get hit with reality in the form of soaring prices or shortages. An early example of the latter is starting to take shape here in New York. ...
Back in 2014 Governor Cuomo got the ball rolling by banning “fracking” for natural gas in the state. But of course, they “frack” in a big way right next door in Pennsylvania, and it’s just a hop, skip and a jump by pipeline to bring that gas over here.
So, since 2014, the big goal of the fossil fuel opponents has been to block any new pipelines to bring in the gas from Pennsylvania. Earlier this year their focus was a pipeline proposed by the Williams Companies to cross New York Harbor and bring natural gas from Pennsylvania to growing communities in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. For example, check out this website of something called the “Sane Energy Project,” which sought to “Ban Fracking” and “Stop [the] Williams Pipeline.” Here’s a picture of one of their many demonstrations:
...
So how are things going out there in Brooklyn, Queens and the rest of Long Island?
The issue of natural gas has suddenly sprung back into the news over the last week, but for a new reason — people are starting to scream that they can’t get natural gas hookups. From the New York Daily News, August 27, “Homes, businesses in limbo as National Grid denies natural gas service”:
..
So far, it’s only 2600 potential customers who have been denied service; and the left leaning sources of local news (Daily News, NY1) somehow are going along with the pols’ story that they have nothing to do with this and it’s just National Grid exercising its muscle.
