"The reaction from environmental groups was blistering. @senecalakeguardian.bsky.social accused Gov. Kathy Hochul of 'abandoning the Finger Lakes,' weakening the state’s climate law, and siding with a 'fossil-fueled Bitcoin mine.'"

BREAKING: Just weeks after a court ruled @governor.ny.gov violated the climate law, she's at it again by approving an expensive, costly, and dangerous pipeline project. Gov Hochul, you have a responsibility to make life safer, cleaner, and more affordable in NY — and you're failing miserably.

Climate leaders don’t ignore state climate law.
Maybe Governor Hochul should show her leadership by implementing the state’s Climate Law, lowering our bills, and making big corporate polluters pay instead.

Last time we checked, a climate leader doesn't:
- Violate NY's climate law
- Indefinitely delay a pollution cap program
- Drag her feet on public renewables
- Fast-track fossil fuel pipelines
- Green-light energy bill rate hikes
