Denial Is the Natural Order of Things in the Empire State
New York State is in a state of denial regarding its dependence on natural gas, refusing to admit the facts of life and committed to preaching its virtues.
Watching what’s happening in Lynbrook, New York reveals the Empire State’s most critical problem; its absolute denial of reality. Here’s what I mean, from a CBS News story Friday:
Forty business districts throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties are impacted by a National Grid moratorium on new gas hookups…
CBS2 demanded answers from the state and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and got action.
National Grid, which declared a moratorium on gas hook ups because an application for a new gas pipeline was rejected by the state in May, is now under the microscope. The state Department of Public Service is using the complaints to expand an investigation of the utility.
There, in a few words, are captured the essence of the foolishness that is New York. Don’t do anything meaningful to address the problem; initiate an exercise in denial by investigating one of the victims of your own short-sighted policies intended to demonstrate your superior virtues.
