why aren't all 9 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public
record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 2 checkable

Prediction Open · timeframe May 2043
Hazlip: Long Island will connect 6 to 10 GW of offshore wind
“Probably six to 10 gigawatts of offshore wind connecting to Long Island over the next couple of decades.”
Prediction Didn’t hold up
Hazlip: Upstate New York will host an early large-scale green hydrogen facility
“We think upstate New York is already gonna be home to the, one of the first large-scale clean, green hydrogen production facilities in the country, and that's because of the abundance of the clean energy in that area.”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Hazlip: New York will need 20 to 40 GW of battery storage
“New York has a six gigawatt goal. You know, our modeling suggests, you know, New York will need anywhere from 20 to 40 gigawatts of just basically four hour duration batteries.”
Opinion
Hazlip: Hydrogen is a viable multi-day storage alternative to batteries
“We also see power generation applications, and so using hydrogen as an energy storage medium to be able to run power generation for longer periods of time than lithium ion batteries, right? So multiple days when the wind's not blowing, the sun's not shining we…”
Prediction Open · timeframe Dec 2050
Hazlip: New York needs 20 GW of added transmission by 2050
“We see about 20 gigawatts of additional transmission capacity, you know, through to 20 50, both within and connecting New York to other regions.”
What-if
Hazlip: Long Island would need 15 GW dispatchable clean power without transmission
“If you didn't have that, you would need about 15 gigawatts of dispatchable emissions-free resources on Long Island.”
Assertion Supported
Hazlip: Community Offshore Wind secured New York Bight lease for 3+ GW
“We're, you know, extremely happy, proud to partner with RWE and secure the lease area in the New York Bight that can host over three gigawatts of capacity, and that joint venture is called Community Offshore Wind.”
Disclosure
Hazlip: Community Offshore Wind plans first phase online around 2030
“So, ah, we're planning to have our first phase of community offshore wind online by, ah, around 2030, ah, so about seven years from now.”
Assertion Supported
Hazlip: Long Island has roughly 5 GW of generation capacity today
“Now, there's only about five, five gigawatts of generation capacity on Long Island today”
