As @alstirpe.bsky.social: writes EmPower+ is “a tool to protect vulnerable NYers from dangerous weather and unsafe homes, while creating new clean energy jobs in vulnerable communities.” can’t allow for this energy efficiency program to be cut. Read more: www.syracuse.com/opinion/2025...

🔋 📈 NY lawmakers approved $1 billion to fund climate action & support the clean energy sector. As energy costs rise, NYers need @governor.ny.gov to allocate $300M of that funding towards EmPower+, NY’s energy efficiency program. Read more from @alstirpe.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/opinion/2025...

In a year where so little progress is being made on energy affordability and climate @governor.ny.gov should sign the bill that's sitting on her desk. Repeal the 100' Rule! Cut costs for ratepayers. rmi.org/cutting-gas-...

Across NYS, thousands have benefited from #cleanenergy upgrades like insulation and heat pumps through the EmPower+ program. But recent budget cuts slashing funding from $220 M to $80 M by 2027 could reverse this progress. Read more via @timesunion.com www.timesunion.com/state/articl...

Well put, @billmckibben.bsky.social We need the Assembly to deliver #CleanerHeatLowerBills for everyday New Yorkers!

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!
