It's true. Once @billmckibben.bsky.social explains what's in this graph, it will make your green heart rejoice. (Hint: the yellow to purple blobs) 💚 open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

“New York cannot keep walking itself up to the start line with a solid plan, only to back out of the race at the last minute.” Interesting perspective here from NYSERDA’s chief of staff during the scoping plan years: acadiacenter.org/climate-and-...

Not much more to say is there

Kind of incredible how far ahead of the rest of the country California and Texas are on battery storage. CA hit 12 GW of storage on the grid at one point this weekend (42% of load); Texas 8 GW (16%). New York and all of the other ISOs/RTOs are functionally at zero.

🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 Recent media coverage, op-eds, and letters to the editor from @nyrenews.bsky.social and our coalition members at @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social and PUSH Buffalo:

@governor.ny.gov wants to delay releasing state regulations to lower GHG pollution by 5 years. This is going to cost NYers up to $9,000 in energy bills, 150,000 jobs, and up to $60 billion in lost revenue. Bottom line: our leaders need to govern, not delay doing their job.

Yesterday, 500+ NYers flooded Albany to protect the state’s Climate Law from @governor.ny.gov’s changes. Nearly 30 lawmakers joined advocates in calling Hochul out on secret negotiations & delaying getting off fossil fuels that get more expensive by the day.

We’re making some noise in Albany today. New Yorkers are united: Don’t touch that Climate Law! ✊🔥 #DeadlineHochul #DefendTheClimateLaw #NYBudget2026 @governor.ny.gov @nyrenews.bsky.social @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social @citizenactionny.org

Have you signed up for the call relay in support of the ASAP Act? The Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act is the State’s key to deploying clean, affordable energy–ASAP! Make sure our leaders hear from you--sign up for a slot today! Sign up & information: tinyurl.com/ASAP-Call-Re...

Read @liatro.bsky.social's takedown of @governor.ny.gov's false choices & empty promises to families in the @timesunion.com: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti... If Hochul really cared about kids and families, she would implement our climate laws and unleash cheap, clean solar energy across NY.

NY Renews and its hundreds of organizational members have a simple message: do not manipulate the climate law. Any effort to weaken, delay, or alter NY's climate law will threaten the health, safety, and affordability of communities across the state. www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

If policymakers are serious about affordability... energy efficiency, electrification and grid modernization can reduce long-term system costs while protecting consumers from fossil fuel price shocks. www.adirondackexplorer.org/adirondacks-...

The attacks on NY's climate law are coming from all sides. Please take action before 3/30 to tell the state: Protect our communities. Deny a fossil-fueled petition to dismantle NY’s climate law: act.nyrenews.org/tell-ny-to-d...

@nyrenews.bsky.social praises the Senate Majority for “standing behind solutions that make energy more affordable.” The Senate Majority's one-house budget supports energy affordability initiatives and strengthening consumer protections in utility oversight.

“Energy costs are on the rise due to the state’s reliance on volatile global oil and gas markets, not its landmark climate law.” www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

New Yorkers are tired of polluting, costly fossil fuels. Join NY Renews, @renewableheatnow.bsky.social & partners as we mobilize in Albany to defend and implement our state’s landmark climate law and deliver energy affordability for more households: bit.ly/3-25-2026

Gov Hochul, saying the quiet part out loud...

Grandell Logan, a Tonawanda Seneca spokesman, said the [STAMP] project threatened the environment and the tribe’s way of life. “The noise from this data center alone will irrevocably change the soundscape of the area,” he said. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/n...

"The [Hochul] administration wants to dilute methane’s impacts over a period of 100 years—a position favored by the gas industry because it makes fracked gas appear less pernicious than it actually is." www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/commentary-new-york-not-cook-books-methane-22075651.php

Ouch

ICYMI: The Gov is continuing her misinformation tour around NY’s climate law. Last time we checked, NY’s rising energy costs were thanks to our dependence on fossil fuels and their aging infrastructure, not the climate law — which the Gov hasn’t even implemented. (She’s supposed to!)

Organizations & Indigenous leaders are calling on @governor.ny.gov to reject new nuclear in NY. The Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force & 200 advocacy groups say the state should invest in renewables & energy efficiency, not costly new reactors. bit.ly/4bfc6yR & bit.ly/4upI83Q

The @buffalonews.com editorial board gets it 💪 "New Yorkers deserve cleaner, healthier air. State leaders should unleash their powers of consensus-building to make sure that happens." buffalonews.com/opinion/edit...

🚨 NYDN: @senatorharckham.bsky.social Sen. Liz Krueger, and Sen. Kevin Parker stand up for NY's climate commitments and put @governor.ny.gov on blast. The climate law isn't making energy prices spike — that would be the fossil-fueled status quo. www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/12/k...

🌎📣Following the 5th anniversary of the signing of the #RenewableRikers Act, NYC-EJA is proud to announce our newest report, “A Reset for Renewable Rikers”, a look at the possibilities for Rikers to be transformed into a sustainable renewable energy and composting hub for the City of New York.

We are in Albany today with our friends with @nyrenews.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social and IONY NY - many issues, one fight!

The NYSERDA memo “purporting to show unacceptable costs of implementing CLCPA … is based on a specific Cap & Invest program design that has not been shared with the public … with a completely unrealistic carbon price. … the analysis simply cannot be treated as a serious contribution to the debate”

👀 New letter from 29 NYS Senators (>2/3 of the Dem caucus) to Hochul this morning: “We categorically oppose any effort to rollback New York’s nation-leading climate law… and urge you to stand strong in the face of misinformation that seeks to blame the CLCPA for the energy affordability crisis”

New York has 12 seasons. We're currently in Governor Hochul's Spring of Deception when it comes to NY's Climate Law 🙃 12seasons.nyc

URGENT: Send a letter to NY Assemblymembers to defend NY's climate law! One-click letter below: act.nyrenews.org/email-assemb...

100% true — climate justice, lower energy bills, and a robust clean energy economy go hand in hand 🤝

NEW: 75 organizations send letter to @mayor.nyc.gov & Speaker @speakermenin.bsky.social calling for investments in Green, Healthy Schools! This proposal would create 321K green union jobs over five years; save the city millions in energy costs; and put us on a path to upgrade 500 schools by 2030.

📣 Today, our members joined the @nyrenews.bsky.social coalition at City Hall to fight against Gov. Hochul’s continued rollback of NY’s climate commitments, especially as the Trump administration guts national environmental protections. It’s time for NY to transition to affordable and clean energy!

@nyrenews.bsky.social's response to NYSERDA memo claiming cap and invest would raise costs for NY households: "Governor Hochul: Don’t pull a Trump and destroy New York’s climate law." Third Act Upstate NY is on the NY Renews coalition steering committee. www.nyrenews.org/news/governo...

✊Protect Immigrants. Tax the Rich. Make Polluters Pay. On March 10, NY’s climate, housing, immigrant, health, labor, & economic justice movements are coming together to show Albany collective power. @nyrenews.bsky.social @investinourny.bsky.social Are you joining us? RSVP: bit.ly/defend-ny-3-10

On March 10, we're going to Albany with @investinourny.bsky.social & @maketheroadny.bsky.social to tell Gov. Hochul: DEFEND NY, FUND OUR FUTURE! In a time of crisis, we need bold action to protect immigrants, make polluters pay, and tax the rich! RSVP link in bio and here: bit.ly/defend-ny-3-10

New York is violating its own climate law. It's time to make polluters pay and invest that money back into New York communities to lower energy bills, create tens of thousands of jobs in renewable energy and building upgrades, and create green, healthy homes. act.nyrenews.org/3b-sfp-clcpa...

A new report from our friends at @nyrenews.bsky.social shows how important and effective the Clean Air Initiative would be for reducing pollution while helping New Yorkers save big.

The climate crisis is pummeling NY. While @governor.ny.gov claims this budget will help protect us from federal cuts and high taxes, she is abandoning the programs that would actually protect us from deadly heat, rising seas, and high energy bills: www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

See you tonight at 6 pm for our mass call! act.nyrenews.org/ny-renews-20... New Yorkers deserve a clean, safe, and affordable future. ✅Lower energy bills ✅Green healthy homes ✅Good union jobs

Jewish New Yorkers unite in calling on @governor.ny.gov to be a climate leader! 1,100+ signed a letter. In her address today, she showed vision & leadership on many issues. “We offer you hizzuk (strength) to make NY the climate leader we know it can and should be.” dayenu.org/media/new-yo...

As a “mom from Buffalo,” @governor.ny.gov has put forward some policy goals that will positively impact the lives of children and families. But what kind of future will NY kids face in a state where toxic fossil fuels continue to destroy our planet? www.nyrenews.org/news/ny-rene...

Governor Hochul pays lip service to the affordability crisis in New York, but without bold structural solutions, her words fall flat. We need real leadership and a plan to tax the rich to fund the needs of working families, not more empty platitudes.

Our strike begins today! Show your support for nurses fighting for safe staffing, healthcare benefits and a fair contract! #NYCNurseStrike #SafeStaffingSavesLives #PatientsOverProfits

Ty, @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social! "NY recognized the urgency of climate action... when we first passed the CLCPA. Ever since, fossil fuel interests have been trying to wear down our resolve to see our climate commitments through. We cannot give in to them." www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

New York’s private healthcare CEOs pocket millions in salaries and bonuses, while frontline nurses are overworked and burned out from the staffing crisis. We support @nynurses.bsky.social as they get ready to strike for safe staffing and respect! #NursesCareforNY #PatientsOverProfits

Thank you, New York. 💚 Together we’ve built a decade of victories. Here’s to the next 10. #NYRenewsTurns10 #ClimateJobsJustice act.nyrenews.org/donate-nyrc

We make polluters pay. We invest in community-led projects. That’s real climate justice. Join us for the next decade. Donate here: act.nyrenews.org/donate-nyrc #NYRenewsTurns10 #ClimateJobsJustice

HUGE win. Congrats to @nyrenews.bsky.social, PUSH Buffalo, and all the orgs that worked so tirelessly for this victory! @governor.ny.gov just signed a bill to repeal the 100-foot rule, putting NY on the path towards cleaner heat, lower bills, and reduced climate pollution!
