These diversions are inconsistent with New York State regulations aimed at ensuring the proceeds of the auctions would be spent on new programs to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If the Senate proposal is approved, the diversions will total $269 million—nearly 30% of the $925.8

I sometimes ask students to guess what state produces the most wind power. And not just that, but Texas is by far the biggest producer of oil, with a governor who has pledged to protect the industry from climate regulation at all cost. It’s not as if the state’s extensive use of wind power is just a historical fluke, either.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (left) visits a hybrid power plant where “green” hydrogen is made using wind power and fed into the gas grid. It plays a smaller role in electricity generation yet has been called the bridge fuel to the age of renewables – a flexible power source needed to complement variable wind and solar power.
