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.

Outdated laws are keeping energy bills high.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

🔌 Con Edison is asking for another rate hike. We need to lower barriers to clean energy, not raise rates that put more pressure on New Yorkers already burdened by high bills.

Public hearings start today. No registration needed just show up and have your voice heard!

Thrilled this bill passed! Utility companies shouldn’t have a blank check to expand polluting gas pipelines & force NYers to pay for it. This isn’t everything we hoped for, but it's a step toward a healthier & more affordable NY. TY to
