Just in time for millions of new electric stoves: NNew York has “No Plan B” for the power plants they’re shutting down
“At an IPPNY convention in the fall, DEC commissioner Basil Seggos was asked how the state planned to “bridge” the gap until renewable power comes online.
“Listen, I don’t think there is a plan B, alright,” Seggos said. “And I mean that seriously about our opportunity right now, I don’t think we have a plan B. I think that we are on the edge right now when it comes to global climate change and emissions, I really firmly believe that. So we have one shot to get this right. That’s what makes this so challenging.”

Several of Biden’s business associates appear on the list of witnesses whom Lunden Alexis Roberts plans to have appear in court, including convicted fraudster Devon Archer, who notably served with Hunter Biden on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Also on the list of witnesses are close confidant Eric Schwerin, financial adviser Edward Prewitt, and New York City art gallery owner Georges Bergès.
The court filing indicates that Roberts’s legal team has its sights trained on Biden’s controversial business dealings. If the case goes to trial, public testimony from Biden’s associates could shed new light on his financial activities, which are actively being probed by Republican lawmakers. The witness list includes several individuals whom the House Oversight Committee has sought to question as part of its investigation into potential influence-peddling by the Biden family.
Biden is asking the court to reduce his child support payments, saying he can no longer afford the $20,000-per-month settlement to which he agreed shortly after his father announced his presidential run in 2020. The case could go to trial this summer if the parties can’t reach an agreement.

The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned.
The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter.
“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.
The whistleblower, who supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, hasn’t publicly identified the first son as the subject of the case that he says is being brushed under the rug, but congressional sources confirmed it.

Pennsylvania has settled a federal election integrity lawsuit
.. saying that it has removed more than 178,000 ineligible voter registrations and promising greater transparency in its future housekeeping efforts.
As part of its settlement with conservative legal group Judicial Watch, Pennsylvania and several of its counties will publish information related to voter registration, including the total number of active voters; total number of inactive voters; and total number of voters removed from the voter rolls due to death, failure to respond to an address confirmation notice, and failure to vote in the two most recent federal general elections.
Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,555 votes.

Jonathan Turley: The blackout on Biden corruption is truly ‘Pulitzer-level stuff’
This week, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) tried to do the impossible. After he and his colleagues presented a labyrinth of LLC shell companies and accounts used to funnel as much as $10 million to Biden family members, Donalds tried to induce the press to show some interest in the massive corruption scandal. “For those in the press, this easy pickings & Pulitzer-level stuff right here,” he pleaded.
The response was virtually immediate. Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.”
For many of us, it was otherworldly. A decade ago, when then-Vice President Joe Biden was denouncing corruption in Romania and Ukraine and promising action by the United States, massive payments were flowing to his son Hunter Biden and a variety of family members, including Biden grandchildren.
However much you hate them, it’s not enough.
