NY Anti-Coal Efforts
Maybe not the best thing to do when you are concerned about rolling blackouts due to increased cooling demand during a heat wave: "Mayor Gives $50 Million to Anti-Coal Campaign" (NYT). To do what? "Expressing frustration with the paralysis at the national and international levels on setting policies to combat climate change, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced on Thursday that he would donate $50 million to the Sierra Club’s campaign to shut down coal-fired power plants across the United States." (Emphasis is ours.)
Why don't they turn off their air conditioning for a couple of days, just to see what it's like first?
