Welcome to New Yorkifornia​

Man. In case New Yorkers needed any more cheerful news besides crime rates, taxes and the nails-on-a-blackboard voice of the creature they actually elected governor, there’s more fun in the pipeline. Sometime this month Kathy Hochul is going to get a piece of legislation that has the potential to make the next big Buffalo blow look like a sequel to Snowpiercer.
NY’s 22 member Climate Action Council (that should be enough to send chills down a sane person’s spine) has been collecting “public comment” on the long-awaited scoping document they released a year ago. The gist of which is pretty radical in itself.

…New York’s 22-member Climate Action Council has released its long-awaited blueprint for how the state can achieve the requirements of the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, or CLCPA.
The CLCPA mandates that New York reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) statewide by 40% by 2030. By the same year, the law mandates that 70% of all electricity generated in New York be renewable.
…“A third of the greenhouse gas emissions in the state are coming from heating our homes and our buildings,” Howarth explained. “So we need to move away from fossil fuels and we need to do so aggressively. We need to take up beneficial electrification.”

The CAC’s implementation plan calls for eliminating the use of fossil fuels, including natural gas, oil and propane in any new home construction by 2025. For multi-family homes and commercial buildings, fossil fuels would be prohibited by 2030.

The plan also calls for an ambitious retrofitting of existing homes.

“We’ve got 6 million homes in this state that need to be retrofitted, so that’s a challenge,” Howarth said.

Wait until they acknowledge they only way to meet these standards is to kill most NY'ers...

Shhh. You aren't supposed to know that. Serious depopulation is the only way to meet their wild emissions goals.

I have to be to my new job in TN in 1 month, so does that count as depopulation? If so, I support depopulation even more now.

I hear that. About three more years till I retire, and then we are outta here.

Much better to do it now. In 3 years you can probably catch a ride with the migrant caravan. There won't be much left here by then.

Yes, the people being driven from their homes is considered one aspect of depopulation for the State.
Whoever is left can then wall off Albany and NYC and fill them with concrete to complete the needed depopulation.
Bonus points if the resulting parking lots are turned into huge multi-screen drive-ins.

If this doesn't get struck down in the next year or so, I'm 100% leaving this state. I know I keep saying it, but I'm hedging my bets this time and getting my ass in gear. Been decluttering what I can so in a few years I don't have to think about things -- just pack and go if they don't want to call my bluff.

I was talking to some people in the gym, and this conversation went similar to this board. One older guy told me "Why the fuck aren't you in Tampa? You're single and built. No kids, no wife. Get the fuck out of this state, man!"

But our governor doesn’t want you to go away. Please stay for her.

As discussed previously this will trash this state. I want out too. My oldest son just said he doesn’t plan on staying here and my youngest hates this state. I think when they are both done with school we may leave as well. I have to see where that is and where my pension will be at.
