Changes to NY’s Climate Act compromise market certainty for its clean heat industry. However, we celebrate the budget's #ThermalEnergyNetwork, EmPower+ and other #BuildingDecarb investments, which will deliver a more affordable, cleaner, and healthier future to NYers: bit.ly/49VhaIS

Our energy affordability crisis has a hidden driver: utilities spending billions on gas pipelines. But, as @kgeorgebagdanov.bsky.social and @panamaredhat.bsky.social tell @volts.wtf, states are increasingly implementing policies to transition us away from gas to affordable clean heat and cooling.

If the #Abundance agenda is about making life affordable and livable, labor has to be at the center of it. We don’t build abundant energy infrastructure, like #ThermalEnergyNetworks, without skilled workers, explains @ryderkessler.bsky.social in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social. bit.ly/4utk53U

🗽Investing $200M in this year’s NY state budget to expand thermal energy networks will be a “win for affordability, a win for our environment, and a win for New York’s future,” writes NYS Assemblymember Chris Burdick. #ThermalEnergyNetwork #BuildingDecarb #EnergyAffordability bit.ly/4u85PwB
