The Cuomo administration today will make perhaps its most fraught environmental decision since the 2014 fracking ban. My story with @michaeladno: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/15/nyregion/williams-pipeline-gas-energy.html …
State 80x50 goals require that we reduce use of gas by 2050 -- in 30 years. However, utilities recover costs for gas services and mains over 65 to 85 years. Thus, any new gas infrastructure installed today will become a stranded asset long before its cost is recovered. Who pays?
