New York State is 35 million acres. You don't think 0.2% of that, including rooftops of existing buildings, might be useable for solar/wind/battery storage? And again, NY already uses tons of out-of-state energy.

No, I don’t. Even if it were possible to acquire that much land, and it isn’t, the land isn’t suitable for solar.
