BREAKING: Republican Senators just broke the Senate's rules in an unlawful maneuver to overturn states' zero-emissions cars standards – a major overreach on states' rights to clean their air.
Make no mistake about it – they've only gained a temporary setback in the clean energy transition.

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed.
But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem.
We have a solution to make utilities affordable—it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.
