🧵 New York was supposed to have its cap-and-invest program to cut pollution and make polluters pay this year — but Governor Hochul is delaying the process. In response to the release of the first program regulation, NY Renews issued this statement.

“Ultimately, we want to see the end of the public-private partnership and the start of a fully public LIPA as laid out in the LIPA Public Power Act. But if there is a better deal for Long Island & Rockaway ratepayers from another service provider, as well as consequences…

We’re here with @LIProgress @nychange & our other member orgs to protect LI as part of the NY Renews March week of action! We’re calling on @GovKathyHochul to “release the regs” for New York’s polluters pay program (called Cap & Invest) & Fund Climate in the 2025 State Budget!

BIG NEWS: A jury has reached a verdict that Greenpeace entities are liable for over $660 million in damages in our trial against Big Oil company Energy Transfer.
This is far from over. We’re going to appeal. And we’re prepared to fight this all the way to victory.

☎️ IT'S TIME TO CALL FOR OUR FUTURE ☎️
The demand to build 15 gigawatts of public renewables has been joined by unions, health orgs, legislators, and thousands of New Yorkers. But still Gov. Hochul and NYPA CEO Justin Driscoll are silent.
It's time they hear us, loud and clear.

A start. If LIPA can recognize here that PSEG isn’t fit to carry on the power supply contract, then perhaps it can see where else PSEG isn’t fit, like maybe all of the rest. 🤔

🚨BREAKING: In a shameful move, @GovKathyHochul VETOES the critical TREES Act.
#ClimateSuperfund Act, the #CO2Fracking Ban, and other critical decisions are still on the table.
@GovKathyHochul: stop letting your legacy be climate delay as our home floods before our eyes.
.@GovKathyHochul has vetoed climate-critical legislation that would reduce tropical deforestation and ensure more of our taxpayer-funded procurement dollars go to New York businesses. The TREES Act is affordable, achievable, and necessary. We must get it across the finish line.

Today we rallied with our INCREDIBLE allies for Long Isiand’s Day of Action for #NYHEAT. @GovKathyHochul it’s time to include all of #nyheat in your budget so New Yorkers get cleaner heat and lower bills! The climate, our communities, & our ratepayers can’t afford to wait!
In 2025, NY will finally have a dedicated revenue stream for climate.
Can you join us in Albany on Jan 22nd for a statewide #FundClimate mobilization, to demand action on the interconnected climate, affordability, and housing crises?
