Another winning election strategy. Add this to banning airplanes, meat and all the other nutty stuff the Green New Deal demands.


The same New York Times campaigning to take away everyone’s air conditioning has a 6250 ton cooling system in its own building, reports FrontpageMag.


The NYTB's cooling load is served by a 6250 ton chilled water system while heating is provided via high-pressure steam purchased from the utility. Air distribution is achieved via variable air volume boxes for interior zones and fan powered boxes with heating coils for exterior zones. The floors occupied by the New York Times Company utilize an UFAD system, the first of its kind in a New York City high-rise. There is a cogeneration plant provides 1.4 MW of electricity for the building year-round. 
A $1 Million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) helped offset the initial investment in a cogeneration plant. 
You don't need air conditioning. But the New York Times needed your tax money to help fund its 6250 ton system.

  1. Don't overlook that spiffy key word~ cogeneration!
    That would be burning natural gas I am guessing... So they don't suffer from brownout like the rest of the lesser peeps in the area...
    I wonder if the natgas possibly is 'locally sourced'?! Well, regionally maybe... OMG, from fracking those shale plays!!! Ewwww!!! hahahaha
