Somewhat misleading -- the 80 percent is the premium of an annual increase under NY accounting vs the more widely used international standard, assuming WA allowance price and all costs passed on. I (or NYS Energy Research and Development Authority) need to run the numbers to figure out the raw increase %

It’s time to focus on clean energy, not polluting power plants. No #BiomassBailout! Sen. Stewart-Cousins @CarlHeastie Governor Kathy Hochul Don’t waste NY’s clean energy dollars on power that is dirtier than coal. Burning wood for energy worsens the climate crisis. citylimits.org/2023/04/10/bil…

Environmental Advocates NY (EANY) is thrilled to announce that after a careful search process, we have appointed Vanessa Fajans-Turner as our new Executive Director.

Thousand-year flood events. That's our new normal. What's worse? NYers are paying right now to expand the fossil fuel infrastructure devastating our planet. We need a course correction. My #NYHEAT Act will begin our long-needed and overdue clean energy transition here in NY.

Weird that this needs to be stated, but electric congestion is still congestion and should be treated as... well, congestion. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/07/31/man…

I’m looking forward to working with NJ’s leaders, communities and businesses to bring the Community Offshore Wind project online. Together, we’ll reduce GHG emissions by 52M tons, power 500,000 homes, and do it all while creating more than 1,700 jobs and $6B in economic benefits.

Ready to ditch some of the gas and oil in your life? Great resource from NYS Energy Research and Development Authority on what $$ is out there to help you. Doreen Harris Basil Seggos🇺🇸🇺🇦 nyserda.ny.gov/Featured-Stori…

By the way, this freakin NYC Mayor- his lack of planning, notice or prep for extreme weather events poses a real threat - we invite you to Your People at UPROSE 🌻 to join in our climate adaptation planning because we need to act like the cavalry is not coming 🌻 #climatechange

Passing the #NYHEAT Act would give families relief from skyrocketing [gas utility] bills. This legislation . . . will not only reduce future gas rate hikes across the state, but will protect the planet by stopping the expansion of the fracked gas system. timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

84% of commuters come into Manhattan by public transit; only 14% come in by car (according to U.S. Census Bureau). That means 84% of people who come into the city will no longer see the benefits of #CongestionPricing due to Governor Kathy Hochul's decision yesterday.

Powerful State Senate Finance Chair Senator Liz Krueger says Governor Kathy Hochul has totally misjudged the legislature’s appetite to hand down a payroll tax on NYC employers. “I believe this would be a violation of the law from the MTA board if [they] give her the vote.“

Sen. Senator Liz Krueger rejects raising PMT, says Hochul needs to reverse herself on congestion pricing: "I don't think this was part of the conversation with the Pope, that she was going to reverse herself on one of the most important environmental decisions that we were counting on."

Lawmakers departed Albany - 5 years after CLCPA - without any significant action this year to reduce emissions or support achievement of the state's climate law. The Climate Superfund $ is earmarked for adaptation: responding to climate impacts, not lowering emissions.

MTA board said last week that certain transportation projects will get “deprioritized.” Hochul in The Bronx now: “To assume the only funding source had to be congestion pricing shows a lack of imagination,” Governor Kathy Hochul.

A new PSA on the G train’s Metropolitan/ Lorimer stop

.⁦Senator Liz Krueger⁩ is “fuming” about legislative back-ups and issue congestion at the end of session preventing bills like the N.Y. Heat act from crossing the finish line. Tune in at 7pm to hear what she’s got to say on a jam-packed, bumper-to-bumper ⁦Capital Tonight⁩.

The passage of time does not change the law and it doesn't make the climate crisis magically disappear. We are dangerously behind on the science-based mandates in CLCPA. It's time to redouble our efforts, and build a more affordable, healthier, livable future for New Yorkers.

Strange, because according to Hochul's 2022 climate plan, "the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of action by more than $115 billion."

📢 New Yorkers across the state are demanding the our legislators to take action—join us! We need #NYHEAT NOW! #cleanerheat #lowerbills
