@WGRZ Can we talk more about electricity supply costs? Natural gas prices have a major impact on New York's wholesale electricity market. Delivery charges matter too, but blaming NYSEG and RG&E alone overlooks a major factor behind our bills. We need more transparency about the supply
@WGRZ An important part of this conversation is the cost of natural gas used to generate electricity. When natural gas prices rise, electricity supply costs can rise with them. NYSEG and RG&E pass through supply costs without a markup. We need more attention on volatile energy prices
@nytimes 102000 miners dead. No US deaths from wind. Coal is dirty and outdated. This is not power, itโs politics. Clean energy is the future, not the past.
@nypmetro It hurts progress when the media and certain groups continue to spread fear and misinformation. These projects matter for New York. Battery storage already works safely in NYC, offshore wind is used globally, and solar energy has been reliable for decades.
@Newsday These tariffs are only making life more expensive. Nowโs the time to double down on local energyโsolar, wind, hydro, and battery storage. The more we produce, the less we rely on costly imports. Letโs build for the future and not let misinformation hold us back
@ElectrekCo@michelle0728 Big move for energy independence. With recent tariffs, building our own power supply is a no-brainer. This project will power 120,000 homes and keep NY leading in solar. Letโs keep pushing for more solid infrastructure
@li_lifepolitics I am glad these forums are dispelling misinformation and educate the community about battery energy storage systems. It's also reassuring to hear that BESS is not only efficient but also reduces outages and emissions.
@citizensenviro This is great to see, especially for our community when costs are so high! Iโd much rather see these off our coasts than the offshore oil rigs we see in the Gulf or out west.
@nypost I'm glad the fire is contained and nobody is injured. Like others have said this would be a different story had it been an oil rig disaster. But to be fair, if it were an oil rig disaster, it would not have been reported on.
@ACE_newyork Ahh, this is cool. This is the first time we are able to create energy, so to speak.
Where can we produce/collect power when it is at its peak and then store it when we need it?
We should reduce our costs when using electricity during the most expensive times.
