Hochul gets paid off and praised by the oil & gas lobby. She raises our utility bills as she causes more pollution.

Something centre-right journalists absolutely love is the "enrages environmentalists" framing

It presents climate / enviro folks as irrational, salivating and constantly infuriated idiots, whereas 'centrist' pro-fossil politicians are Very Serious, level-headed Adults In The Room

I wrote about all the ways @governor.ny.gov is failing on climate in one place so it's easy to find.
She's no better than Trump. And no, it's not about "affordability."

How dare you imply that being married to someone at the firm representing the Williams Pipeline would affect @governor.ny.gov’s judgment?

She is totally capable of being a strong female corporate sell-out all by herself.

The vibes were good last week!

But the thing about Kathy Hochul? She doesn't really like letting a good thing last.

Enjoy paying for fracked gas infrastructure and polluting Coney Island and the Rockaways, New Yorkers!

Fossil fuel-related air pollution is linked to cognitive impairment and raises risks for both major dementias: Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body dementia.

Some pollutants are fine enough to pass directly from nose to brain.

This NESE pipeline was killed 3x by NYS's Dept of Environmental Conservation, but now Trump and Hochul have raised it from its grave and fast-tracked its approval.
Building this would stir up toxic chemicals from the seabed, wreck our beaches and decimate marine life

This was a key response to their propaganda, and includes a link to the Heartland piece.

New York must say NO to the Williams NESE pipeline that would deepen our reliance on fossil fuels and raise our utility costs even higher!
More than a dozen business interests have joined National Grid in backing a controversial pipeline championed by Trump.

Some letters have "template" in the filename, "[INSERT PARTY]" in the comments, and traces of National Grid's lobbying firm.

Gov. Hochul must stop Trump’s polluting fracked gas pipelines.

The proposed Williams NESE pipeline threatens NY waters & would keep us tied to dirty fossil fuels. To make matters worse, the ratepayer would pay for the pipe through a higher monthly utility bill!

This Williams believes that protecting New York's air, land, and water is imperative.

Another Williams, however, the Williams NESE pipeline, will have the opposite effect, worsening health outcomes, degrading our harbors, and violating climate law.

All this to appease Trump?

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
it’s time to come out against the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline project that Trump is demanding.

If it’s approved it will raise utility bills, pollute the air and water, and cook the climate. ⏰
