‼️ConEd and @Governor.ny.gov want to raise our bills AGAIN? Not without a fight 😡

This weekend we rallied with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social to tell Hochul & her cronies to #StopTheCon 💰 and #MakePollutersPay

Tell them New Yorkers won’t pay more for dirtier energy: sunrisenyc.org/stopconed

@nycdsaecosoc.bsky.social deserves so much of the credit for the Build Public Renewables Act—which, by several measures, is the biggest, most ambitious and promising climate law in the nation.

If you're in NYC and climate is your thing, ecosocialists.nyc is probably the DSA working group for you.

When @governor.ny.gov tells you she wants affordable clean energy, don’t believe it. She’s doing Trump’s work for him, selling you out to the gas companies raising your bills.

NY needs to #BuildPublicRenewables, not pipelines!

On Tuesday, NY elected an ecosocialist mayor. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

In the Assembly, Zohran fought to #BuildPublicRenewables. Now as mayor, he'll fight to make our lives affordable AND sustainable.

The climate crisis is here and it’s not going away.

NYC wasn’t built to withstand climate chaos. It’s up to us to build a sustainable, resilient city where tragedies like this never happen again.

A 39-year-old man died after he became trapped in a flooded basement in Brooklyn, as sudden heavy, record-setting rains brought flash flooding to the New York area, the police said.

Example of this why this is wrong: Zohran was key in stopping a billion dollar fracked gas plant Asthma Alley. One tactic was introducing the Clean Futures Act, which would banned it. The bill helped create pressure that got the plant rejected. It didn't pass, but didn't need to, because we had won!

Gift link, if you want to see precisely how the establishment keeps shooting itself in the face with regard to younger people with charisma and vision.

"This lively young fellow has some good ideas, to be sure, but wouldn't it be better if he waited his turn" is a recipe for stagnation.

When will @governor.ny.gov stop sucking up to Trump and start building the livable future New Yorkers need?

Hochul is selling out our future for fossil fuel profit. We don’t want back room pipeline deals and expensive bills - we need public renewables!
Inside Climate News headline: Federal actions make New York's energy future more uncertain At a Brooklyn church in early September, the advocacy group Public Power NY hosted a People’s Hearing for Public Renewables, where officials, environmentalists and a few dozen New York residents discussed the state’s renewable energy plans and expressed disappointment with Hochul’s progress. “We have a movement behind us that is fighting for something better,” said state senator Jabari Brisport, who represents a district in Brooklyn. “We have a governor who wants to drag her feet.” New York’s Climate Act requires the state to achieve a 40 percent reduction from 1990 levels in economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and an 85 percent reduction by 2050. The act also requires that 70 percent of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2030. Residents were advocating for the New York Power Authority to build 15 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, which they view as necessary to meet the state’s goal of net-zero emissions from the electricity grid by 2040. Currently, the utility plans to build 7 gigawatts of renewable energy, despite state law requiring it to fill all gaps in electricity generation left by the private sector. “Hurricane Ida completely destroyed my district,” said former Democratic U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, whose district included White Plains and Yonkers. “We need a governor with human-centered leadership… and if not, we need a new governor.”

Our fossil-fueled grid is heading for blackouts as soon as NEXT YEAR. This is why we can’t wait to build a full 15 gigawatts of public renewable energy. ⚡️

We can’t trust private companies to invest in the public good. We need public power.

While @governor.ny.gov ties us to toxic gas plants and destructive pipelines, the rest of world builds clean, affordable energy at record rates. Hochul and Trump aren’t just walking us backwards, they’re sprinting.

Are we going to keep falling behind, or #BuildPublicRenewables?

Nothing says clean energy like 42 fossil-fuel guzzling private jet flights, right Justin??? 😵‍💫✈️

Instead of building public renewables so New Yorkers can actually afford their energy bills, NYPA's CEO is more focused on flying private (in a major Amtrak corridor‼️)
LoHud headline: New York Power Authority champions clean energy. Its executives fly in a private jet. By Thomas C. Zambito The New York Power Authority has embraced the state’s clean energy goals, vowing to lead the charge against climate change by investing in renewable energy, reducing the state’s planet-warming carbon emissions and replacing its gas-powered vehicles with EVs. But NYPA regularly flies its top executives, media personnel and board members to monthly meetings, press conferences and ribbon-cuttings on a $7.5 million plane that burns tens of thousands of gallons of carbon-spewing jet fuel every year. The plane has been used to fly executives on short hops of an hour or less from Westchester County Airport to airports in Albany; Rome, New York; and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. NYPA President and CEO Justin Driscoll flew 42 times over 21 days during a time period of just over a year with 23 trips of less than an hour, including four between Westchester and Albany, a two-hour drive. “It seems like Justin Driscoll is more concerned with the speed of his travel than the speed of building public renewables,” said Michael Paulson, the associate director of the Sane Energy Project and a leader of the Public Power New York campaign to get the state to build more renewables.

We're trying to make ends meet. @governor.ny.gov & Trump are trying to fast-track a new pipeline that will pollute our water and send our bills even higher.

We won't accept a plan that makes life more unaffordable. Join us and fight back! ecosocialists.nyc/join-us
Gothamist article headline: New Yorkers to foot bill for pipeline pushed by feds, new report says costs will rise The federal government isn’t just encouraging New York to build a new pipeline that’s already been ruled a threat — it's also making you pay for it, and a new independent analysis claims the project will cost 17% more than estimates from the utility company. The once dead project was revived in July after the Trump administration announced its strong support for building new fossil fuel infrastructure. The pipeline is on a fast-tracked review after the Department of Environmental Conservation closed its 45-day public comment period last month despite rallies calling for more time as well as public hearings. Con Edison customers are already paying around $50 more per month than they did three years ago. Over the last two years, National Grid customers are paying over $40 more on monthly bills. A report released this week by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, an energy research think tank, estimated the pipeline’s price tag at least $1.25 billion. That’s 17% more than National Grid’s estimate.

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power.

Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

Governor Hochul didn't want to hold an in-person hearing on
NYPA's renewable energy plan. So we held one ourselves.

New Yorkers are speaking loud and clear: We must build public renewables at the speed and scale that the climate crisis requires.

Fortunately, our pressure forced open public power public comments again. So it's time for New Yorkers to flood those inboxes, and make them double it again.

Let's show this country how to build a future we can look forward to--no matter who’s in the White House.

Our movement of New Yorkers, labor unions, and elected officials like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social that passed a revolutionary law to build public renewables--owned by and for the public, not corporations.
Thanks to the Build Public Renewables Act, developing 15 gigawatts of public renewables by 2030 would create 25,000 green *union* jobs.

While Trump torches the climate and attacks the burgeoning renewable energy industry, New York has the tools to fight back.
Over 16,500 Jobs have been lost *so far* because of Trump's assault on renewable energy. But New York can lead the country in saving our future *and* creating jobs.

🧵New York could have 25,000 union jobs building a future for the next generation.

Or we could let Kathy Hochul and Donald Trump pour pipeline poison on our planet.

So if you're in New York, send a comment at publicpowerny.org/take-action to ensure we're leading. On Labor Day, and every day. ⤵️
