Hochul first says we’ll miss our climate goals, and now she is unwilling to stand in the way of Trump’s pipelines. This is not leadership. It is capitulation.

IS THIS THE LAST YEAR YOU SWIM AT ROCKAWAY BEACH?

Trump wants to bury a pipeline off the coast of Queens, Bklyn, & Staten Island. And release cancer-causing toxins like arsenic, lead, mercury, PCBs, dioxin from under the seabed.

NY rejected this deadly pipeline in 2020.

Staten Islanders expected to pay for new pipeline that won’t bring them gas National Grid estimates a 3.5% rate hike for customers in the five boroughs and on Long Island.

Kathy Hochul made a deal with Trump and is now trying to fast track pipelines NY previously rejected. They want rate hikes and environmental destruction to please their donors in the fossil fuel industry. We want clean energy, @governor.ny.gov, not your dirty deal.

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say β€œwe can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

Sweep of Homeless Camp in Oregon Said to Be β€˜Largest in Recent History’ Federal officials began clearing a forest where dozens of homeless people live in derelict R.V.s and cars.

Federal forest officials began clearing thousands of acres of forest just outside of Bend, Oregon, where more than 100 people live in R.V.s and cars β€” a move that one advocacy group called β€œthe largest eviction of a homeless camp in recent history.”

The fate of the world depends on us getting off fossil fuels. The #NYHEAT Act stops wasteful pipeline spending & invests in clean energyβ€”saving families up to $136/month. It’s good for the planet and your wallet.

πŸ“’ Earth to Donald Trump: denying the climate crisis, cutting research funding and gutting clean air & water protections will not make America great.

From passing the #NYHEAT Act to ending plastic pollution, curbing PFAS and more, New York State must fight back to protect our environment. #EarthDay🌎

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍 On 4/22, @nypirg.bsky.social and our allies rallied in the sun at City Hall in NYC to demand that the NYS Legislature passes the #NYHEAT Act now.

I am sponsoring the Clean Fleets Act (A6254), which would deploy zero-emission state heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, I am sponsoring bills to make residential buildings eligible for NY’s Green Building Tax Credit (A6739) and to create a food waste study (A6228).

We are working to pass the NY HEAT Act, a crucial tool to fundamentally shift our state away from fossil fuels and fracking. By no longer forcing consumers to pay to subsidize outdated natural gas systems, we will be able to significantly lower CON-ED bills for New Yorkers.

We must use our state resources to protect the environment. That is why the Assembly’s proposed 2025 budget includes $500M towards the Environmental Protection Fund, $600M for clean water infrastructure, and $1B towards green building and transportation programs.

What does climate action look like in NY? It looks like:

🌎 NY HEAT Act
🌎 Stop Climate Polluter Handouts Act
🌎 TREES Act
🌎 Cap & Invest
🌎 Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act
🌎 and so much more!

Every year we delay, the task gets harder. We must act now.

This act will:

Residents at virtual town hall raise concerns after Pennsylvania Sunoco pipeline leak contaminated water Residents raised questions at a virtual town hall about the Sunoco pipeline leak in Upper Makefield Township, Pennsylvania.

Pipelines leak.

Leaking pipelines contaminate drinking water.

People with contaminated water get mad and say things like "What I want as a homeowner that's lived in this house for 19 years is for my water to be exactly the same as it was prior to this spill,"

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has doneβ€”and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.
