Our mission is to replace fracked gas infrastructure with 100% democratically controlled, renewable energy in New York State. We build every campaign through a lens of racial, social, and ecological justice.
This is what is at stake today for New York vs Trump. @governor.ny.gov which side are you on?

"We find it to be really revealing that National Grid is willing to move mountains, to accept more gas so they can build more infrastructure, but when we ask them to do a plan for retirement of gas and energy efficiency, they always tell us that it’s years off." - Sane Energy @insideclimatenews.org
Gas Leaks Can Have Significant Spillover Impacts on Neighboring States, Study Finds - Inside Climate News
New York is poised to see an expansion of its gas infrastructure. This could have far-reaching implications.

Update: Governor’s office tells me this funding will be disbursed over the next five years. That’s $200 million a year — <1/10th of what was expected to be raised through cap and invest
Here is Hochul’s $1 billion for climate — the “Sustainable Future Program” in capital projects budget.
At first read, this does appear to be an entirely new pot of money (not cobbled together from existing sources) — an olive branch to climate groups as she hits brakes on cap and invest
