Good old clean electricity.

Definitely no use of natural gas and fossil fuels in the generation of electricity. What s great step forward!

These are the same politicians closed down the Indian Head Nuclear plant. Making us more dependent on fossil fuels for electricity generation.

Also how the fuck does it cost 4 billion dollars to update the heating system in 100 schools?

It cost 4 billion dollars to build the Buji Khalifa in Saudi Arabia

Thats $40 million per School to update a heating system?! You might as well destroy and rebuild the entire school it would be cheaper.

These NYS politician all need to be put on trail for treason with how corrupt they are.

You get substantial efficiency gains in centralizing the combustion and transmitting energy as electricity over combusting in hundreds of small, old boilers and furnaces. It's also a lot easier to deal with the emissions from a single (or at least fewer) source(s).

Edit: this presupposes you have an electric grid that can handle the increased load, which is not a given.
