The fossil fuel industry and utilities seem to have noticed the for sale sign @governor.ny.gov has put up in Albany and responded accordingly.

It's important to remember that natural gas (and all fossil fuels) are gradually destroying our livable climate.

But also, sometimes the gas system is deadly very quickly.

4. There's a villain in the story and it must be told that way. Fossil fuel's climate denial fraud and dark money corruption are full-on villainous and we should say so.

Will the Micron project ever exist? Who is to say, but we're already pressuring a 91 year old woman to abandon her home.

Pretty disgusting.

Unbelievable betrayal of New Yorkers as @governor.ny.gov caves to Trump's drill baby drill agenda in approving the NESE fracked gas pipeline.

I hope she's ready for a lot of rage because that is what's coming.

It's time for New York's climate movement to get serious about fracked gas pipelines. That's why we're asking folks to pledge not to vote for @governor.ny.gov in the Dem primary if she approves the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline.

Take the pledge!

Send a strong message to @governor.ny.gov that you won't accept surrendering to Trump. Take our pledge not to vote for her in the primary if she approves Trump's pipelines!

Four years ago today @governor.ny.gov killed two massive proposed fracked gas power plants (Danskammer and Astoria) just after she took office.

Hard not to think about how far she's fallen on climate since then, seeking to delay just about any action to move off fossil fuels.
