"Hochul wants to gut the state's climate law after years of delaying legally required action, following a court order to reduce pollution and cut down on energy bills."
"No wonder a top gas industry lobbyist calls Hochul their top asset in New York."
"Energy bills are rising and pollution isn't dropping. That's great for oil and gas companies, utilities, and their fat cat executives-not so great for everyone else."
"New York governors have engaged in a familiar charade for years. They announce lofty climate goals for the headlines, only to retreat quietly when the cameras go away."
Governor Hochul is attempting to amend New York's climate law, which she is accused of violating. Despite a court order to reduce pollution and energy costs, she seeks to weaken the law. Hochul claims to be a protector of the environment while facing criticism for prioritizing corporate interests. Rising energy bills and pollution levels benefit oil and gas companies, while past governors have similarly failed to meet climate goals, leading to a cycle of unfulfilled promises.
