Kathy Hochul's 'Affordability' Excuse for Building a Gas Pipeline Doesn't Even Make Sense

The centrist Democrat insists that we must first accelerate the destruction of the environment to save it...eventually.

Over the past 15 days, Governor Kathy Hochul has: fought the orders of a state judge who said she must enforce the state's climate laws; announced she was going to delay the implementation of the state's move to all-electric buildings; approved a climate-killing pipeline that will run through New York Harbor from the South Shore of Staten Island to the Rockaways, five years after it was originally denied; and allowed a cryptocurrency outfit to keep running a dirty fossil fuel plant to mine digital currencies.

Why is she doing this? What's the point? According to her office, it's not a ruining-the-planet approach, it's an "all-of-the-above approach" in the name of "affordability."
