We got nothing but hail with a few golf balls and dusting so far in my part which is always fun /s lol

Have you looked at solar? I heard the incentives have gone up this year.

1100 sqft 2 floors $20 but thats because I'm only paying for hot water and cooking gas thanks to a heat pump mini split system . I will never stop recommending them lol . I should probably mention electric is $110 thanks to that and an EV

Exactly what I'm getting from this as well. This is exactly the kind of double language someone would use to cast doubt on the wind turbine project without actually directly saying . A true spinner of words most likely watches a lot of faux lol

Lol nice that sounds like an achievement to me, nicely done 👍

For those that are curious these two links might be a good start for context

Chevy bolt it’s actually really simplified if you get a base model not tech heavy knobs and buttons and it’s maintenance free pretty much and super affordable. The range is not amazing between 220 -300 depending on how you drive weather etc but if that’s good enough for them and they own a driveway it’s a great car and likely to last a long time as Evs have a really low breakdown rate in general cause of less moving parts and they have the 8yr/100k mile warranty on major components but wouldn’t be surprised if it far outlasts that

Finally! some advocating for the commonsense use of some of the obscene amount of vacant commercial space

Cant wait, Moved out to NJ in part to have my own driveway to charge up and the whole affordability thing lol

Hey now NYpost is owned by a wonderful man with absolutely no ties to companies that would make him bias against renewables

Maybe its time for Con Ed to stop obstructing and disincentivizing Solar/ Wind projects

Does not help that their executives have gone to training camps to learn how to fight back against clean energy projects also

When they're on the job and there's a chance you got a cell phone in your pocket recording a civilian interaction that's absolutely whats going to be said or implied in some way. Rules for thee not for me or however it goes lol its the worst when you have family friends that entirely approve of or joke about stuff like this in the profession. Though as a fellow islander I'm sure you have probably seen this already

Ohhh yeah plenty of them have fully brought into the yellow journalism that is the NYpost and some of them have been swimming in that cesspool for a verryyy long time lol Its a perfect echo chamber when you have people in closed of social groups with nice cushy sometimes union jobs (This part kills me the most, as a long time activist/member) that also watch Fox News.

More interested in when the legal cannabis lounges kick in. Alcohol is so much less preferable to some people compared to cannabis I wouldn’t be surprised if those really take off

Give it some time vertical farming will catch up

Thank god it’s about time we start pushing this I’m tired of relying on the nut job states for food production. Bring on the self sufficiency!

sad that whatever troll farms are running these accounts have basically dictated that as the pattern of way things go on this sub, Nyc has soo much potential with clean energy and we are actually moving forward but this bad propaganda is just slowing us down by confusing the masses

A rebuild is an possible solution but not really needed primarily because of cost like you said but also its prone to other challenges throughout the project especially on big structures like schools. Ground up rebuilds are so much tougher than you would think if you havent done it yet speaking from some painful experiences at smaller scale projects lol Its not that hard to change internal things if the framework is still good.

Mini splits and if the space exists nearby go full geothermal. Also gotta really redo insulation in some of those schools
