It is astonishing.

Meanwhile….

Where are they getting the fuel for the electricity ?

Fossil fuels, natural gas, coal.

I can’t with this stupid shell game.

Renewables have a storage and demand problem that isn’t getting solved anytime soon. That coupled with the fact that New York is a heating dominant climate means that the energy deficit in the winter is hard to make up.

Is there like, a switch near my outlet I can toggle to switch the electricity that comes out of it from fossil fuel to renewable?

I would imagine wind, solar, and hydroelectric would generate a higher proportion of the required energy vs. Heating with oil and gas.

This is NOT the case currently or in near term future.
