So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

New York Approves Trump-Backed Gas Pipeline The Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline had been rejected by environmental regulators three times but was revived this spring after talks between Hochul…

@governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov approved a gas pipeline that was rejected 3X for environmental concerns. The pipeline will harm NY waters and marine life, cost over $2 billion, and add $100/yr to gas bills for LI & NYC residents. Increased GHG emissions come with hidden health and economic costs.

And then we have New York. @governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov betraying NY’s climate goals as they approve Trump’s fracked gas pipeline

Wins for renewable energy and climate!

My LTE in response to Newsday’s coverage on climate, energy and NY’s Climate Law.
@governor.ny.gov needs to stand firm on NY’s climate goals and not tie our future to new, polluting, fossil fuel infrastructure 🏭

New York Is Violating Its Flagship Climate Law, Judge Rules The law required a state agency to issue major regulations more than a year and a half ago, and it had no excuse not to, the court found.

BREAKING: New York is violating its flagship climate law, a judge ruled Friday.

The Hochul administration now has until February 6 to issue major regulations to cap emissions.

On October 18, millions of Americans will gather to say NO KINGS! As Trump wields government power to censor free speech, abduct immigrants, and threaten political opponents, October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful resistance in US history

The importance of revolution wind

What is revolution wind? Connecticut's first offshore wind project, staged in New London and built off the shore of Rhode Island. 704 megawatts of clean, local power starting in 2026. A reliable power supply for 350,000 homes.

Revolution wind is 80% complete, and it will have real benefits for CT electric rates.

Impact to electric rates: revolution wind power is needed to meet electricity demand starting next year. Without it, we would pay more for electricity from other sources like natural gas. New gas pipelines cost more than $10 million per mile. New gas plants cost 3x more than just three years ago, and wouldn't be ready until the 2030s.

Last month a federal court lifted the administration’s stop work order on Revolution Wind, an offshore wind farm that will begin delivering power to Connecticut next year. We must keep up momentum on this renewable energy source that will offer clean, reliable, and affordable power to our region.

Big oil and gas have seized the moment. By betting big on plastics, they’ve found a convenient lifeline to maintain profit margins as demand for fossil fuels declines. But plastic pollution costs Americans an estimated $249 billion annually in health-related expenses

Big Tech’s A.I. Data Centers Are Driving Up Electricity Bills for Everyone

Sorry if it hurts your feelings, but tech is competing for your electricity- and YOU will pay to subsidize them. Now that zealots stopped offshore wind and are blocking battery storage and new transmission, where will YOUR energy come from if they take yours?

So NO to the fracked gas pipeline!

“Plastics endangered people and the planet at every stage, the review said, from the extraction of the fossil fuels they were made from, to production, use and disposal. This results in air pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals and infiltration of the body with microplastics.”

Inspired and energized by an amazing panel of speakers at the @engagelongisland.bsky.social Climate Solutions event! Thank you Assemblywoman Kassay for advocating for the passage of the Packaging Reduction Act! It’s time to put #peopleoverplastic !

Single-Use Plastics 101 Here’s everything you need to know about the most ubiquitous (and avoidable) kind of plastic waste: the kind made to be tossed in mere minutes.

Plastic-Free July is a powerful reminder that single-use plastics fuel climate change, pollute oceans, and harm wildlife. Avoiding single-use plastics is the best way we can prevent ongoing waste.

Thank you for sharing @beyondplastics.bsky.social
We need New York legislators to put people over plastic!

Great letter, @jenvogt.bsky.social
We couldn't agree more and hope that @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social and his fellow NYSA members will finally act to put people over plastic when they reconvene in January.

My final word, for now, on the NYS Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. We’ll be back at it when the Legislature resumes session in January!
