"The scaremongers were wrong. Over its first 14 months, the congestion pricing system has exceeded even the high hopes of many supporters. It has reduced traffic, improved the quality of life and even provided a boost for businesses. Talk of killing it has faded."

The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of global oil. In 2025, the global EV fleet avoided the equivalent to 70% of Iran's exports through it.

Producing more oil doesn't fix oil vulnerability. Electrification does, permanently.

New Study Finds Distributed Solar and Storage Could Save New Yorkers Nearly $1 Billion a Year, Cut Energy Bills Statewide | Coalition for Community Solar Access […]

A new study from CCSA finds that expanding solar and energy storage in New York could save $1B in annual energy cost savings for ratepayers by 2035.

Read about the study and the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act, legislation that supports NY's solar deployment:

The article states that other utilities in Finland continue to use a small amount of coal. It would be more accurate to say that Finland’s utility company Helen’s last power and heat plant shut down.

The attached article does not challenge the talking points of those opposed to affordability. #NYHEAT is common sense legislation which will reduce costs for New Yorkers while fighting pollution.

Today, opponents of #NYHEAT held a press conference with signs that read: "Save our Domestic Natural Gas." It's clear that they stand with the fracking industry. NYS Assembly, we need you to STAND WITH US. Deliver #cleanerheatlowerbills by insisting that NY HEAT be in the budget!

Gutting clean energy incentives would drive up electric bills Rising energy costs are a problem in the U.S. Ending Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and ramping up fossil fuels would make it even worse.

The Trump admin claims clean power drives up utility bills. But energy analysts and industry execs know new solar, wind and batteries are cheaper than fossil fueled powe, and that killing tax credits for clean energy will raise, not lower, energy costs: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Congestion Pricing is a Policy Miracle Which is exactly why Trump wants to get rid of it

“The MTA as a whole is averaging 448K more public transit riders per day this year…The MTA ridership growth since congestion pricing went into effect is almost 50% larger than the total ridership of America’s next-largest subway system.” bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...

"Make America Healthy Again" is dead There is nothing RFK Jr. can do at the Department of Health to make up for what's happening at the EPA.

Robert F. Kennedy can remove all the seed oils from all the food in America.

It’s not going to make up for dismantling Mercury Air Toxics standards, undoing car and truck pollution restrictions, rolling back chemical safety regulations, and otherwise covering the country in fossil fuel pollution
