Something centre-right journalists absolutely love is the "enrages environmentalists" framing It presents climate / enviro folks as irrational, salivating and constantly infuriated idiots, whereas 'centrist' pro-fossil politicians are Very Serious, level-headed Adults In The Room archive.ph/0PsH4

Hochul enrages environmentalists with shift to ‘all of the above’ energy policy
Democrats are focusing on affordability over climate goals as midterm elections loom.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has infuriated progressive environmental groups by embracing an "all of the above" approach to energy policy, including support for a new gas pipeline. | Seth Wenig/AP

Gov. Kathy Hochul once blocked two gas power plants and championed New York’s trailblazing effort to combat climate change.

But as she prepares for what’s expected to be a tough reelection battle next year, Hochul (D) has steered a monumental pivot on energy policy.

On Friday, Hochul approved a new gas pipeline championed by President Donald Trump and cut a deal that will keep a gas-fueled cryptocurrency miner running for five more years. The two decisions have sparked outrage from the progressive environmental wing of her party — with three climate-focused groups pointedly endorsing her primary opponent this week.
