⌛ONE WEEK TO GO! @nypirg.bsky.social alums and friends, please join us next Thursday, 10/16 in NYC for a happy hour! Reconnect with friends and colleagues from years past and hear from our new executive director, @MeganAhearn, about our fall campaigns. RSVP TODAY: nypirg.org/events/fall2025

Hey, happy climate week! Just dropping by to say that "all of the above energy" is the "not all men" for politicians looking to defend their pro-fossil fuel agenda! Weird that they never use that phrase to defend decisions for renewables, right?!

ICYMI: Last week, the Senate voted to attack state rights and clean air protections. Statement f/ @earthjustice.org @righttozero.bsky.social calling on @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social @nysendems.bsky.social to protect NYers by passing the Clean Deliveries Act ASAP. earthjustice.org/press/2025/a...

BREAKING: Republican Senators just broke the Senate's rules in an unlawful maneuver to overturn states' zero-emissions cars standards – a major overreach on states' rights to clean their air. Make no mistake about it – they've only gained a temporary setback in the clean energy transition.

📣 We need lawmakers to pass #NYHeat to make energy more affordable and help us move off fossil fuels. Join a rally this Friday from 1-2 at the 96th Street subway station to make your voice heard. www.mobilize.us/fww/event/78...

ICYMI: Last week, the #NYSBudget was finally completed. The verdict on climate and environment? Baby steps forward in some areas. Check out the full @earthjustice.org statement: earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...

This is why the NYS legislature shouldn’t hesitate to pass the Clean Deliveries Act - a common sense bill that addresses a regulatory gap that allows for unchecked pollution from mega-warehouses. @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social @nysenate.bsky.social

A new report from @envdefensefund.bsky.social shows we need to protect communities across New York from the pollution created by mega-warehouses. www.edf.org/media/new-re...

#NYSBudget mood board, enjoy

On the first Earth Day in 1970, there was no: 🚫 Environmental Protection Agency 🚫 Clean Water Act 🚫 Endangered Species Act The following year, Earthjustice was founded by a small group of attorneys who believed that the earth needs a good lawyer.

What Emily said! Time to pass NY HEAT act and restore a bit of sanity to this system!

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed. But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem. We have a solution to make utilities affordable—it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.

Important climate fight in blue New York, where Dem assembly members can get the NY HEAT Act done--or they can, uh, pull a Schumer. www.weny.com/story/526293...

⚠️ News: NYC’s ban on fossil fuels in new construction stands after a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that building trades groups brought against it. The judge explicitly disagreed with a Ninth Circuit ruling that overturned Berkeley, CA’s gas ban www.publichealthlawcenter.org/litigation-t...

ICYMI: @earthjustice.bsky.social has the deets on the climate and environmental items in the NY Assembly and Senate budget proposals. Easy to follow chart analysis and statement here 👇 earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...

"New Yorkers expect state lawmakers to address our affordability crisis & lower their energy bills, which continue to rise every single year. Thankfully, the Senate again recognized the need for action & put the full NY HEAT Act in their budget." - @lizmoran.bsky.social, @earthjustice.bsky.social

New Yorkers need #NYHeat! "The NY HEAT Act is the clear solution to lowering energy bills, curbing future rate hikes, and saving the 1 in 4 families who already can’t afford their energy bills an average of $136 every single month." earthjustice.org/press/2025/n...

An experiment to swap steam radiators for eco-friendly, electric heat pumps at a Queens public housing complex has yielded promising results, nearly two years in.

Idk for some reason I’ve been thinking about this today. www.politico.com/states/new-y...

“Trump to New York: Drop Dead” Accurate in every way.

In this episode of New York NOW, starting at 13:45, an update on utility rates & the push for the NY HEAT Act. Listen to one man's story of how utility rates affect his family & comments by @lizmoran.bsky.social of @earthjustice.bsky.social and @profbobhowarth.bsky.social.

Hundreds in Albany today demanding #NYAssembly takes action to cut energy bills by passing #NYHEAT!

This year’s winner for best budget testimony goes to @foodandwater.bsky.social www.nysenate.gov/sites/defaul... Time for the Assembly to pass #NYHEAT!

Caught in 4k mid-yap to the Governor

It's 5PM cup of coffee season!!!!!!* *also known as budget testimony prep season

NEW: There's been a 51-percent drop in injuries an a 55-percent drop in crashes year-over-year within the congestion relief zone in just the first 12 days of the program. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/c...

As the federal administration moves at breakneck speed to put corporate polluters over everyday people, Governor Hochul missed a chance to ‘set the standard for the nation’ by cutting energy costs & protecting the climate. See a statement from @lizmoran.bsky.social earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...

Statement f/@earthjustice.bsky.social on @govkathyhochul.bsky.social #NYBudget. A lack of vision from the Governor, while the federal admin executes their vision to line the wallets of wealthy corporate polluters. earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...

Long Island, the former Congressman’s home base, is definitely not vulnerable to climate change or anything. They haven’t dealt with major storms or flooding or weather damages. 👍

Governor Hochul’s rollback of her climate commitments will harm NYers. Cap and invest has the potential to put money back in people’s wallets and key investments into their communities. Delay helps polluters, not people. AND the legislature needs to step up with policies like #NYHEAT.

@lizmoran.bsky.social is right 👇 “With the incoming federal administration, we’re especially going to need the [New York] Assembly to stand up for their constituents and make sure they pass policies that cut energy bills, create good jobs and address the climate crisis."

Enormous news — @govkathyhochul.bsky.social signed the climate superfund bill into law today! Landmark law will #MakePollutersPay for climate damage, raising $3 billion/year! Huge thanks to the movement that made this happen! When we fight, we win. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2024/12/26/n...

A true sign this app is catching up with X/twitter - starting to see crypto influencer accounts on here.

Farmers across NY—small, mid-sized, co-ops, and family-run—deserve fair opportunities to thrive. The #GoodFoodNY Bill ensures public dollars support our local producers. Take action to get it signed into law: bit.ly/GFNYaction2024

not great!!!! new construction is where it is cheapest to design and build with heat pump systems. letting builders put in fossil furnaces now that the state will have to subsidize replacing later?? bonkers pet peeve: why is every story about this issue illustrated with a gas stove pic

“New Yorkers have made their voices loud and clear. They want Gov. Hochul and the Legislature to address the cost of living, and that’s why NY Heat is the solution that needs to be the top priority for the governor as she approaches her budget.” - @lizmoran.bsky.social bit.ly/41xo3gg

Good morning happy Friday my first email of the day to an esteemed colleague was “yuck. Knowledge is a punishment.”

ICYMI: Bitcoin’s latest surge is great for miners — not so much for the environment via @marketplaceapm.bsky.social "...it’s taking on line gas plants that have actually been shuttered and bringing them back online just for the purposes of cryptocurrency mining." www.marketplace.org/2024/12/05/b...

Geeking out over polling crosstabs this evening, wbu

Just a note that "all-of-the-above" being pushed for energy, especially in present day, is just a ploy to keep the dirty and expensive fossil fuel industry alive - not to keep your bills cheaper or to reduce climate pollution.

Important thread about how this western NY fossil fuel company is using ratepayer dollars to fight policies that will lower energy bills for their customers and reduce climate pollution. Same old playbook. @govkathyhochul.bsky.social shouldn’t fall for it.

👀 Recent disclosures show National Fuel urged its corporate customers to back its long-term plan for continued use of gas. After prodding from advocates, the utility admitted the letter was funded by ratepayers, saying it aimed to “provide educational information.”

This happened as Trump tapped a crypto advocate to head the SEC - a body that is supposed to protect investors. There are still trials for crypto CEOs that contributed to the crypto crash a mere 2 years ago that lost customers MILLIONS. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/year-...

Good time to remind people that Bitcoin comes along with outrageous energy consumption fueling the climate crisis, increased energy bills for regular people, constant noise, and air and water pollution. Yet another case of a select few profiting off harming the majority.

Hey, so are you wondering what's up with NEPA, our nation's keystone environmental law? Well, a LOT. Pull up a chair and I'll break it down for you. p.s. I just got here from the other place and am starting over from scratch! Retweet (or whatever the right word is) if you think this is helpful.

Big business, oil and gas, using their same old playbook: blame consumers for the climate crisis. But the billions they've spent lying about the reality of climate change and delaying action? Not their fault! @govkathyhochul.bsky.social signing #climatesuperfund should be a no brainer.

I applaud Governor Hochul for restarting Congestion Pricing, which will provide critical funding for public transit that makes life more affordable for the 85% of commuters (NYC residents and visitors) who rely on it every single day.
