Hey, happy climate week! Just dropping by to say that "all of the above energy" is the "not all men" for politicians looking to defend their pro-fossil fuel agenda! Weird that they never use that phrase to defend decisions for renewables, right?!

BREAKING: Republican Senators just broke the Senate's rules in an unlawful maneuver to overturn states' zero-emissions cars standards – a major overreach on states' rights to clean their air.

Make no mistake about it – they've only gained a temporary setback in the clean energy transition.

This is why the NYS legislature shouldn’t hesitate to pass the Clean Deliveries Act - a common sense bill that addresses a regulatory gap that allows for unchecked pollution from mega-warehouses.

On the first Earth Day in 1970, there was no:

🚫 Clean Water Act
🚫 Endangered Species Act

The following year, Earthjustice was founded by a small group of attorneys who believed that the earth needs a good lawyer.

Time to pass NY HEAT act and restore a bit of sanity to this system!
$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed.

But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem.

We have a solution to make utilities affordable—it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.
