Rolling back NY's Climate Law will do nothing to reduce costs, because it isn't the cause of rising costs. The oil and gas status quo created the affordability crisis, and cheap, quickly-deployable renewables, storage, and efficiency will get us out of it. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

And guess what? The Governor is manufacturing a crisis while real NYers suffer from higher and higher bills due to GAS. The legislature needs to focus on reducing energy bills, not the Guv’s red herring.

It will be especially crucial for @governor.ny.gov and the Legislature to bolster funding for climate and environment: ➡️ minimum $1B for the Sustainable Future Fund to cut energy costs and reduce climate pollution ➡️$500M for the Environmental Protection Fund ➡️$500M minimum for water infrastructure

An easy one to protect communities from rapidly expanding e-commerce mega warehouses is the Clean Deliveries Act. This bill would lead to cleaner air and less traffic - building upon the success of programs like Congestion Pricing and stepping up where the federal govt is failing.

On the topic of potential federal rollbacks, there’s a bill to codify federal requirements to replace all lead service lines in NY. This is a common sense policy to adopt. Lead service lines is the greatest source of lead in drinking water, and no level of lead is safe.

If the Assembly needs a list of topics to cover, I’ve got them. To start: the legislature should protect ratepayers from large energy hogs that drive up energy costs - data centers and crypto miners. There’s a number of great bills to tackle those issues.

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed. But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem. We have a solution to make utilities affordable—it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.
