Reply to comment by Lower-Bad-4388 in ConEd is trying to raise gas + electric bills by $60 / month in 2023 - join a people's hearing to fight back! by MidnightCh1cken

Infrastructure isn't free. If you want green energy now (like a majority green in the next ten years) you're talking trillions of dollars in infrastructure spending.

I want that. But I also understand that there is going to be a cost. For some reason a lot of my fellow green energy proponents live under the false assumption that you can just snap your fingers and trillions of dollars in generation and transmission projects just magically appear the next day.

Yes, but at the current moment the issue with energy prices is due to price shocks from fossil fuels, trying to blame green energy is a total red herring.

And the Con Edison rate case has nothing to do with fossil fuel prices.
