Blue state Governor Kathy Hochul of New York should stand up to Trump as he wrecks the climate for oil & gas billionaires.
She can save NYers money, create jobs and cut pollution by:
✅ signing the climate superfund act
✅ setting strong cap & invest regulations
✅ passing the #NYHEAT act

Ugh. NY Governor Hochul is continuing Cuomo’s huge failure to build utility-scale wind, solar, batteries and transmission.😬
As other states and nations rocket forward on renewables,
New York is currently stuck at only about 5% wind & solar on the grid.🤦
Incompetence & deference to gas interests.🤬
