New York’s big new bet on nuclear energy
Gov. Hochul, a Democrat, diluted New York’s climate law this year amid struggles to build large-scale renewables. Now, she’s looking to nuclear power.

So, so many good humans behind this shift, doing research, advocacy, mediating and witnessing where the decisions are made, undertaking non-violent civil disobedience to call attention to this issue, even disrupting the Comptroller from time to time. Direct action works.

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA. Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out www.science.org/content/arti...

5) NYC does not need this gas. Countless expert testimonies showed that the gas is not needed. The metro area has not had a supply problem for several years, and our state as a whole is reducing our need for gas. Governor Hochul is bowing to the fossil fuel industry and private utilities.

4) Nobody in New York wants this. Hundreds of local electeds, thousands of New York citizens, and nine municipalities all registered their clear clear objections. Governor Hochul is doing the bidding of the gas industry, not listening to her constituents. www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/art...
