Will Washington’s Groundbreaking Climate Law Inspire Other States? The Evergreen State is creating a road map for phasing out fossil fuels while boosting renewable energy

Until Jan, NY looked set to implement cap-and-invest this year... Then, Gov. Hochul put the release of key regulations on ice.

“She effectively killed her own climate program,” said Michael Richardson, an organizer with @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social.

Will Washington’s Groundbreaking Climate Law Inspire Other States? The Evergreen State is creating a road map for phasing out fossil fuels while boosting renewable energy

Washington's cap & invest law has generated more than $3 billion for clean air, water, & energy projects.

In NYS, though, Hochul hasn't released cap & invest regulations. Third Act Upstate NY's Michael Richardson:

“She effectively killed her own climate program...She’s killing it with delays.”

NYC public schools in low-income Black, Brown, and immigrant communities are crumbling — with toxic conditions and climate threats hitting them first and worst. Enough is enough.

#GreenHealthySchools protect our kids, support educators, and deliver justice.

Commentary: Revise state energy plan to double down on public power Just when we most need strong leadership to reach our climate goals, the draft plan proposes to weaken New York further.

By Michael Richardson, co-facilitator of Third Act Upstate NY and a @publicpowerny.bsky.social co-chair.

"Now, when New York most needs determined leadership on climate and energy policy, the draft 2025 state energy plan is a testament to the state’s failure to meet the moment."

While the Governor held a secretive nuclear industry summit inside, we joined with Haudenosaunee Nations, climate organizations, and community members to highlight the costly risks of her nuclear energy plan, and call for a renewable future.

We need major changes to NY’s State Energy Plan:

No more nuclear energy.
No more public dollars for private data centers.
No more sacrificing Indigenous lands for corporate profits.

@governor.ny.gov, don’t stop with this $1B climate investment!

We can’t let Trump force through toxic fossil fuel pipelines, and expensive nuclear energy plants that threaten New Yorkers.

Fossil fuel billionaires created this mess--Let's hold them accountable!

NY Renews Statement on NY Sustainable Future Program (Sept 21 2025).pdf

Yesterday, Trump referred to climate change as a “con job.”

Today, NY made a $1B investment in climate.

@governor.ny.gov must continue to fight back and embrace NY’s Cap-and-Invest Program to raise vital climate revenue for NYers!

Mold. Asbestos. Poor ventilation. Outdated heating + cooling. NYC schools are suffocating our kids and school staff.

NYC public school infrastructure is in crisis. We must do better for students and school staff.

✅Create 321,000 Green Jobs
✅Slash DOE Energy Costs in Half
✅Make schools fully electric & fossil fuel-free

New York’s recently released State Energy Plan is a defeatist document that paves the way for expanded fossil fuel infrastructure. Send a letter to @nyserda.bsky.social to say: New Yorkers deserve better.

Proposed EPA policies threaten NY's climate law Plans to gut climate policies and car emissions regulations will make it very difficult for New York state to meet its greenhouse gas emissions targets.

If federal emission standards are discarded, NY won't be able to make restrictions on GHG emissions from vehicles, which will make it impossible to hit our Climate Act targets: bit.ly/EPArollback25

Sounds like NY needs to launch its pollution cap program, @governor.ny.gov!
