What a ridiculous lawsuit....it's not like they were forced to use fossil fuels, it was the only game in town, and NYC wouldn't exist without it....Might as well sue the people of NY for using fossil fuels, and the city fathers as well....including himself!

In October 1975, President Gerald Ford gave a speech denying federal assistance to spare New York City from bankruptcy. The front page of the Oct. 30, 1975 New York Daily News read: “FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD.”

In this case, I don't think it would involve the White House. If it did, I know President Trump would (rightfully) say the same thing .

He is trying to get us away from corrupt and stupid money practices. As far as I'm concerned, it can't happen fast enough.

" I know President Trump would (rightfully) say the same thing"

"He is trying to get us away from corrupt and stupid money practices."

We've let the wolf into the henhouse!

He is all about money and looking to escalate WIII (a nuclear war) into which we will be dumping Trillions of dollars to recover from, ( if we can).

The man is a loose cannon, with a lit fuse!!

Time to take this conversation to the breakroom.

Hey Dave, it's a good article but if all the other coastal cities follow suit, could lead to the collapse of an empire that was built on fossil fuel along with all the other countries that are dependant on the fossil fuel.

If they want to put blame on any one person it would have to be Rockefeller and Standard Oil, (back in the day) 100yrs +. Otherwise, they have no ground to stand on! (Pun intended)
