Rally at NYPA for Public Renewables!

September 24 @ 12:00 pm

 
A coalition of New Yorkers are rallying at the headquarters of the New York Power Authority, 123 MAIN ST, WHITE PLAINS to demand that Hochul build 15 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.
We’re at the edge of climate disaster, & the burden of suffering will fall on the working class around the world. Meanwhile Kathy Hochul is set to roll back NYS carbon targets signed into law in 2019.
The Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act of mandated carbon targets for NY State. The 2023 NY Build Public Renewables Act made it possible to bypass for-profit energy companies so that we can meet them. WE ALREADY HAVE THE LEGISLATION WE NEED TO MEET OUR CARBON TARGETS
Kathy Hochul insists that private energy companies will take the lead in developing renewable energy production to meet our carbon targets. She also recently admitted that NYS WILL FAIL TO MEET THOSE TARGETS. But she’s blocking enactment of the BPRA to protect her energy corp. donors from having to compete with cheap publicly produced renewable energy. Her solution is to roll back the targets.
