Fossil fuel, utility lobbyists targeting Gov. Hochul with big spending, new report shows There was a 52% increase in lobbying spending from the energy sector.

Hochul gets paid off and praised by the oil & gas lobby. She raises our utility bills as she causes more pollution.

Hochul enrages environmentalists with shift to ‘all of the above’ energy policy
Democrats are focusing on affordability over climate goals as midterm elections loom.

Gov. Kathy Hochul once blocked two gas power plants and championed New York’s trailblazing effort to combat climate change.

But as she prepares for what’s expected to be a tough reelection battle next year, Hochul (D) has steered a monumental pivot on energy policy.

On Friday, Hochul approved a new gas pipeline championed by President Donald Trump and cut a deal that will keep a gas-fueled cryptocurrency miner running for five more years. The two decisions have sparked outrage from the progressive environmental wing of her party — with three climate-focused groups pointedly endorsing her primary opponent this week.

Something centre-right journalists absolutely love is the "enrages environmentalists" framing

It presents climate / enviro folks as irrational, salivating and constantly infuriated idiots, whereas 'centrist' pro-fossil politicians are Very Serious, level-headed Adults In The Room

Opinion: When it Comes to Climate, Hochul is No Better Than Trump - City Limits "New York needs a governor who respects the will of the vast majority of voters who want climate action, and whose elected representatives already passed climate laws on their behalf."

I wrote about all the ways @governor.ny.gov is failing on climate in one place so it's easy to find.
She's no better than Trump. And no, it's not about "affordability."

Hochul Approved Permits That Could Help Clients of Her Husband’s Firm

How dare you imply that being married to someone at the firm representing the Williams Pipeline would affect @governor.ny.gov’s judgment?

She is totally capable of being a strong female corporate sell-out all by herself.

What the Air You Breathe May Be Doing to Your Brain

Fossil fuel-related air pollution is linked to cognitive impairment and raises risks for both major dementias: Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body dementia.

Some pollutants are fine enough to pass directly from nose to brain.

This NESE pipeline was killed 3x by NYS's Dept of Environmental Conservation, but now Trump and Hochul have raised it from its grave and fast-tracked its approval.
Building this would stir up toxic chemicals from the seabed, wreck our beaches and decimate marine life

New York must say NO to the Williams NESE pipeline that would deepen our reliance on fossil fuels and raise our utility costs even higher!

Gov. Hochul must stop Trump’s polluting fracked gas pipelines.

The proposed Williams NESE pipeline threatens NY waters & would keep us tied to dirty fossil fuels. To make matters worse, the ratepayer would pay for the pipe through a higher monthly utility bill!

This Williams believes that protecting New York's air, land, and water is imperative.

Another Williams, however, the Williams NESE pipeline, will have the opposite effect, worsening health outcomes, degrading our harbors, and violating climate law.

All this to appease Trump?

it’s time to come out against the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline project that Trump is demanding.

If it’s approved it will raise utility bills, pollute the air and water, and cook the climate. ⏰
