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

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

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.

.@LizKrueger 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 @CapitalTonight.

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,” @GovKathyHochul.
Peter Iwanowicz retweeted
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.

Powerful State Senate Finance Chair @LizKrueger says @GovKathyHochul 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.“
Peter Iwanowicz retweeted
Sen. @LizKrueger 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."

84% of commuters come into Manhattan by public transit; only 14% come in by car (according to @uscensusbureau).
That means 84% of people who come into the city will no longer see the benefits of #CongestionPricing due to @GovKathyHochul's decision yesterday.

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.

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 @UPROSE to join in our climate adaptation planning because we need to act like the cavalry is not coming 🌻 #climatechange
Ready to ditch some of the gas and oil in your life? Great resource from @NYSERDA on what $$ is out there to help you. @Doreen_M_Harris @BasilSeggos nyserda.ny.gov/Featured-Stor…

I’m looking forward to working with NJ’s leaders, communities and businesses to bring the @Community_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.

Weird that this needs to be stated, but electric congestion is still congestion and should be treated as... well, congestion.

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.

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.

It’s time to focus on clean energy, not polluting power plants. No #BiomassBailout! @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul
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/bi…

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 @nyserda) need to run the numbers to figure out the raw increase %
When discussing accounting for methane emissions Seggos said, “The cost numbers that we have now been able to develop are of concern & they should be to anybody who wants to see a successful program launched.”
UU agrees and supports a 100-year accounting. webcache.googleusercontent.c…
