Hochul’s NY HEAT Act: A Cool Proposal to Cut Energy Costs, Skip Costly Fossil Fuel Fiascos
The Renewable Heat Now campaign and our allies across New York celebrate Governor Kathy Hochul’s inclusion of major pillars of the NY HEAT Act.
All included in her State of the State proposals to bring New Yorkers the cleaner heat and lower bills we need.
These provisions, which will free utility ratepayers from being forced to fund costly gas pipelines and enable New York to move to cheaper and cleaner heating alternatives, have been targeted by gas and oil industries’ relentless lobbying and misinformation campaigns.
We are thrilled to see the Governor announce key actions to protect New Yorkers from escalating heating bills and the worst impacts of the climate crisis. We will redouble our efforts to work with both Governor Hochul and the legislature to ensure they withstand any attempts to prevent a safe and affordable gas transition from inclusion in the final budget.
