🔌 Con Edison is asking for another rate hike. We need to lower barriers to clean energy, not raise rates that put more pressure on New Yorkers already burdened by high bills.
Public hearings start today. No registration needed just show up and have your voice heard!

New bill in New York legislature would ban all new fossil fuel projects, stopping the Williams fracked gas pipeline.

"New York City is divesting our pension funds from the fossil-fuel companies who caused this crisis and we’re suing them for refusing to act when they knew the damage it would cause to cities like ours."

It is a myth that natural gas is a bridge to decreasing global warming. The Williams pipeline is risky and unnecessary

The building of the risky and unnecessary Williams fracked gas pipeline would be “a monumental step backwards” in fighting climate change: @NYCComptroller

"If fracking is bad for the environment and banned in NY, why should Empire State Plaza in New York's capital be lit by fracked gas from Pennsylvania?"

"After all, if we're going to be green, it's going to be electric...At this point, we’re moving to that direction, and we are consciously doing it."
No new pipelines. Climate friendly energy instead.

Big petition delivery calling on @NYGovCuomo to walk his talk on the #GreenNewDeal and stop the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline. Climate leaders don't build pipelines.

"it's not just about national politics. The national-level energy for a #GreenNewDeal could boost efforts in cities and states. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, for example, has been pushing a Green New Deal in his state."
@NYGovCuomo #FossilFreeNY @350...
The Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline is unnecessary. The truth is that there is no need for this gas — period.

Is this in New York City's future? Yes, very likely if the Williams fracked gas pipeline gets approved.

But now each of these dozens of agencies will have to go through the process. Given New York's byzantine politics, it will doubtless take a while, but the activists who have been pushing for this, and the governor's staff, deserve real credit.#divestny #fossilfreeny 5/5
Breaking & Big: Bill to study closure of all oil and gas power plants in New York City to be announced today. Deadline Dec 31, 2019.
#FossilFreeNY #FossilFree #ClimateAction @Costa4NY @AlexCKaufman @350...
After the #IPCC report, #NewYork must do more than banning #fracking to go #FossilFree.
🔥 Start by banning all new and proposed gas plants and pipelines.
☀️ Accelerate to 100% renewables
@EricWeltman #FossilFreeNY ...
Guess who still hasn't even divested from #coal? The comptroller of the third largest pension fund in the USA: @NYSComptroller Tom DiNapoli.
King Coal indeed.

“New York comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has an enormous amount of divestment power that can both support the climate change fight, and boost investment returns for retirees.” @davidsirota

This is an endorsement @NYGovCuomo should turn down: The State Business Council wants more risky and unnecessary fracked gas pipelines and power plants.

A mega polluting gas plant in New Jersey to provide electricity to New York? Backwards move.
@NYGovCuomo has the power to deny permits, stop this plant and go with renewables instead.

New York pension fund member and retirees out $20,000 each because state comptroller did not divest from fossil fuels a decade ago. That's a lot of money.
