Following Trump's election, New York Governor Kathy Hochul enacted significant climate legislation aimed at holding oil and gas companies accountable for their emissions. Key laws include financial contributions from these companies for climate impacts and restrictions on building schools near high-pollution areas. Hochul also revived congestion tolls and committed $1 billion to greening the economy, while ensuring New York would pursue renewable energy goals regardless of federal policy shifts. However, some proposed measures, such as carbon pricing and reducing gas heat, have faced delays, prompting calls for renewed commitment to these climate strategies.
Hochul's climate policies aim to hold fossil fuel companies accountable while advancing ambitious clean energy goals, despite setbacks from Trump-era regulatory challenges.
Amidst the political climate shift after Trump's election, Hochul quickly reestablished significant climate initiatives including a new toll for congested driving to fund green projects.
