Dear Editor:
I’m one of the people who has to choose between buying food or keeping the heat on in the winter. I have electric heat, and it’s very expensive. It’s not good when I have to keep my home freezing cold just to save money. Don’t the politicians understand this?
It’s troubling to read about the Democrats’ green new deal while our already high electric bills keep going up. Don’t they understand supply and demand? If you force everyone to use electricity, the price will go up.
And will they even be able to create enough power with their windmills and solar farms? Places that have already tried this—like California and Texas—are having blackouts and rationing. Is this what’s going to happen in New York?
One thing I’ve learned over the years is not to trust the government, especially the politicians who run it. From what I’ve seen so far, I have zero confidence that their green-energy dream isn’t going to jack up my rates even further. They should give up this electrification nonsense, and we’d all breathe a little warmer.—Bryan Nadler, Mastic
