ICYMI: Last week the @dec.ny.gov finalized new rules that require big polluters to report their emissions to the state. But, this is only a first step. Emissions reporting without meaningful emissions reduction won’t move New York closer to the cleaner and safer future we deserve.

⚠️: Even with further action, New York is already behind schedule on reducing emissions and protecting our communities. The State Energy Planning Board now says our 2030 emissions goal won’t be reached until 2038. At a time of federal rollbacks, now is not the time for retreat.

This year the Legislature passed the All-Electric Buildings Act, which requires most new buildings to have only electric appliances. Now @governor.ny.gov’s administration is delaying implementation. At a time of climate protection rollbacks in DC, we need Albany leaders to keep moving NY forward.
