Today, opponents of #NYHEAT held a press conference with signs that read: "Save our Domestic Natural Gas." It's clear that they stand with the fracking industry. NYS Assembly, we need you to STAND WITH US. Deliver #cleanerheatlowerbills by insisting that NY HEAT be in the budget!

This is what good policy looks like! Expand bus lanes and bus-mounted cameras for faster and safer trips and improvement in quality of life! @openplans.org @fundtransitnow.bsky.social @transalt.org @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social

An analysis of the first 2 months of New York City's congestion pricing policy shows that road speeds increased and emissions decreased inside and out of the congestion zone, from Cook, Kreidieh, Vasserman, Allcott, Arora, van Sambeek, Tomkins, and Turkel https://www.nber.org/papers/w33584

What are you hiding @govmurphy.bsky.social ? We hope that you are thoughtfully reconsidering your opposition to the best policy for working class New Jerseyans in years.

Thanks Gov. Hochul! @govmurphy.bsky.social Please accept the evidence that congestion pricing is awesome policy for regular New Yorkers and New Jerseyans alike & unravel your alliance with Pres. Trump on this issue. @openplans.org @fundtransitnow.bsky.social @rpa.org @theclimatereality.bsky.social

UPSHIFT! PHLC reports that "In a big win for climate policy targeting building emissions, the SDNY upheld New York City ... Local Law 154, which prohibits the burning of fuels with high greenhouse-gas emissions in new construction." @jessedjenkins.com www.publichealthlawcenter.org/commentary/2...

The Trump admin claims clean power drives up utility bills. But energy analysts and industry execs know new solar, wind and batteries are cheaper than fossil fueled powe, and that killing tax credits for clean energy will raise, not lower, energy costs: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... #energysky

“The MTA as a whole is averaging 448K more public transit riders per day this year…The MTA ridership growth since congestion pricing went into effect is almost 50% larger than the total ridership of America’s next-largest subway system.” bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...

What’s that on the horizon? A storm? A sunrise? Or a moment that changes everything? On March 28, former US Vice President Al Gore delivers his most groundbreaking climate presentation yet. Watch it live by signing up for our online experience. #TheRealityTour #ThisIsReality bit.ly/4j0kvIG

Robert F. Kennedy can remove all the seed oils from all the food in America. It’s not going to make up for dismantling Mercury Air Toxics standards, undoing car and truck pollution restrictions, rolling back chemical safety regulations, and otherwise covering the country in fossil fuel pollution

Thanks @michaelemann.bsky.social for your tireless work. This is a great watch!

Good morning with good news: Global EV sales skyrocketed 50% in February 2025, compared to February 2024! In first two months of 2025, compared to Jan-Feb 2024, US EV sales rose 28%, while China rose 35% and world 30%. World EV transition speeds ahead! #energysky insideevs.com/news/753444/...

Tired: Drivers are going to avoid congestion pricing by flocking to highways and bridges that circumvent the zone and inundating the Bronx and Staten Island with cars. Wired: That's not actually happening.

The Regional Plan Association’s report on the beginning of congestion pricing is out! Here are the highlights: Average trip times in January were down 48% at the Holland Tunnel, and 17% at the Lincoln Tunnel. Less traffic → faster commutes!

And new homes should come with EV Chargers! @rewiringamerica.bsky.social

A new poll released Monday from Siena College found that more New York City residents approve of congestion pricing than don't, a dramatic turnaround from a previous poll by the same firm back in December.

It’s time for New York to expand congestion pricing!

Mike Bloomberg: Manhattan’s congestion pricing program is vital to the city’s economic health — and that’s good for America

Congestion pricing isn’t elitist. It’s a step towards making transportation more affordable for low-income New Yorkers. Ending it would hurt commuters who need it most. @vox.com explains how investing in public transit benefits working-class residents: www.vox.com/policy/40126...

This story needs to be better publicized. Working class New Yorkers & New Jerseyans support congestion pricing as it improves their lives. Time to stop advocating for the privileged few. Thanks @govkathyhochul.bsky.social No thanks @govmurphy.bsky.social

When 37 bt out of 40 bt of global annual emissions comes from burning fossil fuels, this is no surprise whatsoever Until fossil fuels are left in the ground, we will make no headway at all in cutting emissions Instead, we are bang on track for hothouse hell www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Awesome news LA!

Congestion Relief Zone tolling is on track to generate $500 million in its first year! This will fund projects like making more stations accessible, installing modern signals, buying zero-emission buses, and more. See the numbers: www.mta.info/press-releas...

⭐ $48M in transit funding ⭐ 1M fewer vehicles ⭐ 50% fewer traffic injuries ⭐ 1.5M more visitors to the congestion relief zone By the numbers, #CongestionPricing is already a clear success for NYC — and we deserve to see those benefits continue.

The narrative that #congestionpricing hurts the working class is Newspeak. It ask wealthy commuters to pay for inconveniencing the rest of us and helps working class New Yorkers get to work faster and safer. Is George Orwell Duffy’s speechwriter?

Trump wants to bring back the traffic, and we’re fighting back. We’re joining tomorrow's 3 p.m. rally led by @misernyc.bsky.social to defend congestion pricing and fight for a better NYC. The more voices, the stronger our message. 📍 Be there. 📞 Keep calling Gov. Hochul at 518-474-8390.

👇 Public transport commuters are out shouted by defenders of a few wealthy car commuters. Our interests need to be represented. Thanks @govkathyhochul.bsky.social and no thanks @govmurphy.bsky.social. #congestionpricing @transalt.org

@govmurphy.bsky.social fights for the wealthier 11% of NJ commuters who drive into Manhattan rather than support the 89% who use public transit. He defends the wealthy over his working class constituents and the climate. @firstladynj.bsky.social @theclimatereality.bsky.social

The UK Biomass industry is not renewable or sustainable. It should not be subsidized at all.

What say ye @govmurphy.bsky.social ?

The energy transition is unstoppable. @rockymtninst.bsky.social will soon need to add to this chart the pessimist claim “the us administration’s policies will kill the growth of renewables”. What will be the optimist’s reply?

Thanks for showing us how it is done @sciencemoms.bsky.social. Best Super Bowl ad ever.

EVs are replacing ICE vehicles because they are better in every way. The Trump administration can continue investments in EV technology and production or US car companies will become uncompetitive globally and produce the equivalent of Soviet Ladas in comparison to EVs.

Congestion pricing is the best thing to happen to working class New Yorkers and New Jerseyans in a long time. The benefits will increase as the MTA invests! @firstladynj.bsky.social please convince @govmurphy.bsky.social that his climate and working class credentials are in free fall.

This is why we love BlueSky! Well intentioned folks supporting others in the search for facts - in this case @jessedjenkins.com - to make the world a better place. No trolls messing with the vibes. This was the promise of the internet. We hope it lasts!

An alternative question is “Will Republican legislators fight for their constituents and industry in their districts (and for future generations) or prioritize fealty to the leader?”

I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

This is super important! It’s the foundation of the strategy to electrify everything and clean the grid to cut climate and air pollution. Thanks @janrosenow.bsky.social for reminding us! @rewiringamerica.bsky.social

NY Must pass #NYHEAT this year to meet the climate crisis knocking on our door and the affordability crisis devastating our communities. Please seal the deal @leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social and @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social

The #BuildPublicRenewablesAct mandates that NYPA produce enough renewable energy to meet NY's climate goals and succeed when private markets underperform. We need 15GW, not 3GW. A plan to supply 20% of the need falls short of our definition of excellent news. @publicpowerny.bsky.social

The mayoral primary is on June 24. It's time to find out who's ready to fight for our future! Join us on Thursday, February 6th, from 6:30 - 8:30 PM as we ask the tough questions about climate change, creating good jobs, and building a fairer society for all New Yorkers.

@govmurphy.bsky.social wll go down as one of the worst climate governors New Jersey has had. Worse, he continues to prioritize the wealthy over working class New Jersey folks dependent on public transit that is getting better. It's great his time is coming to a close.

Transportation accounts for 26% of statewide climate pollution and creates massive negative health outcomes. It's making commutes faster for all, including working class New Jersey residents. Time to support workers and stop opposing #CongestionPricingNow @govmurphy.bsky.social

Hello BlueSky! This is our 1st post! Our mission is to communicate & take action to fight the climate crisis. Last week's Chapter Meeting featured @nicolekelner.bsky.social, who shared how to communicate about the climate crisis through art. We aspire to communicate as effectively as Nicole!
