Couldn't be more apparent why we should double down on climate action here in nys - thanks @nyrenews.bsky.social

As people across the state observed Thanksgiving & Native American Heritage Month ended, member PUSH Buffalo published an op-ed noting that efforts to implement NYs Climate Law will fail if we don’t make the connection b/w climate justice & Indigenous sovereignty

Polluters Have Their Claws in These Democratic Governors Two new reports highlight New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s ties to polluting industries. But she’s not the only one with that problem.

Last week, @nytimes.com wrote on ties between @governor.ny.gov & the fossil fuel industry; this week our new report w/ @mapthepower.bsky.social & Strong Economy 4 All shows that the problem is bigger than just her husband. Read more via @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social

Hochul stalls climate action amid multi-million dollar lobbying effort by fossil fuel industry - Little Sis Polluters seeking to undermine New York's climate response have spent millions of dollars on lobbying firms that have deep ties to state government and have hosted high-dollar fundraisers for Governor...

READ OUR LATEST REPORT: NY polluters have increased lobbying by 52.3% since @governor.ny.gov took office — while NYers saw gas bills rise by an average of $288/year & utilities posted record profits. This is what blocking climate action looks like. Read more: bit.ly/PolluterLobb...

What Mamdani's Win Means for Climate Action Affordability and climate action, can go hand in hand, argues Mamdani.

“NY has the power to do something about climate change, both practically as a city with 9 million people with a larger budget than not only most states, but many countries," said NY Renews Exec Director Stephan Edel in TIME Magazine on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win.

group of 80 people assembled in Syracuse with pro renewable energy, anti nuclear energy banners and signs

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.

NY Renews responds to the 2025/2026 NY state budget: $1B for climate is a good start. But Cap and Invest could bring in up to 12x that *annually* for lower energy bills, cleaner air, and tens of thousands of good jobs.

The Summer of Shutoffs By isaac sevier and Winston Yau

The summer of shutoffs is here. The left’s answer must advance climate, affordability, and managed decline together.

"Public power can begin to build us out of this deep contradiction between the well-being of Americans and the deregulated system."

@sevier.io with Winston Yau @cplusc.bsky.social:

BLM rushes review of Oregon lithium project following Trump’s executive order A proposed Southeast Oregon mine’s been under review for three years. Now the Trump administration is giving people four days to comment before proceeding.

This is insulting. Trump's BLM issued a rushed 5-day comment period on a 103-page environmental assessment for a massive and controversial lithium mine proposal in Southeastern Oregon.

THANK U to everyone who participated!  Our message to @governor.ny.gov @leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social : #ReleaseTheRegs on Cap-and-Invest and #FundClimate in the budget for climate justice in NY!

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

What Trump’s Tariffs Could Mean for Your Utility Bill Even if oil is exempted from the tariffs the president plans to slap on Mexico and Canada, experts predict a rise in electrical costs. Diversifying both energy sources and models—like offering public ...

The looming tariffs on electricity will spike people's bills almost instantly. That's a disaster. But as we told @newrepublic.com, “we already pay a tariff because of how much corporate profit is priced in, compared to what the price would be under public power.”

☎️ TIME TO CALL FOR OUR FUTURE ☎️

The demand to build 15 gigawatts of public renewables has been joined by unions, health orgs, legislators, and thousands of New Yorkers. But still Gov. Hochul and her CEO Justin Driscoll are silent.

It's time they hear us, loud and clear: bit.ly/callforourfuture
