New Yorkers for Clean Power

NY invests billions in gas pipelines as utility prices skyrocket. Reporting from @insideclimatenews.org explores what happens as buildings use less gas.

Anshul Gupta weighs in on why we need "proactive management" to protect NYers: insideclimatenews.org/news/2302202...

#EnergyAffordability

VICTORY! As 1 in 4 NYers struggle with their utility bills, @governor.ny.gov just signed a bill to repeal the 100-foot rule, putting NY on the path towards cleaner heat, lower bills, and reduced climate pollution!

#cleanerheatlowerbills

The Legislature passed the 100-ft Rule Repeal. Now it’s time for
@governor.ny.gov to sign it into law & protect our wallets, our air & our future.

This would prevent hundreds of millions in costs from being passed on to NYers.

#CleanerHeatLowerBills

@governor.ny.gov has a choice to make: sign the bill to end the outdated 100-ft Rule — or leave NYers paying millions for unnecessary gas lines, adding to already skyrocketing utility bills.

No one should have to choose between eating and heating. Sign the 100-ft rule repeal!#cleanerheatlowerbills

🗣️Speak up for clean energy storage in the Hudson Valley on Dec. 18!

📅 Join us this Thursday at 7 P.M. at the Ulster Town Board meeting to voice your support for a proposed 250-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) project.

NYSERDA to reduce spending, advocates say it will hurt clean energy goals and low-income families Advocates across the state are unhappy with proposed cuts to the state’s EmPower+ program, which supports energy costs for low-and-moderate income households.

Families are bracing for double-digit energy bill hikes this winter, but NY is cutting the program that helps. Yesterday, @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social & advocates pushed to stop a 66% cut to EmPower+, which gives up to $10K per household for energy-saving upgrades.

Another Voice: WNY legislators did their job. Now it’s the Governor’s turn. Why should struggling families in Buffalo be forced to pay higher rates so gas utilities can keep expanding their monopoly empires? New York’s climate law requires us to slash gas

"Families across Buffalo and Western New York are bracing for hundreds of dollars in extra charges thanks to back-to-back energy bill hikes..."

Lawmakers already passed a bill to repeal the 100-foot rule. Now it’s up to the Gov, to sign it.

Opinion: NY Utilities Are Exploiting an Outdated Law to Raise Energy Bills - City Limits "Despite her focus on affordability, Gov. Hochul has yet to change any of our policies to bring down energy costs. Repealing the 100-foot rule can be the start."

Outdated laws are keeping energy bills high. The 100-ft rule lets utilities charge everyday NYers for new gas hookups we don’t need.

Cutting energy efficiency program will harm NY consumers, cost jobs (Guest Opinion by Al Stirpe) State legislators appropriated up to $300 million for energy-saving upgrades. Now, Gov. Hochul wants to cut it to $50 million, writes Cicero Assembly member.

🔋 📈 NY lawmakers approved $1 billion to fund climate action & support the clean energy sector. As energy costs rise, NYers need @governor.ny.gov to allocate $300M of that funding towards EmPower+, NY’s energy efficiency program. Read more from @alstirpe.bsky.social
