Energy must be a public good. Add your name to replace Central Hudson with the people’s utility: the @hvpauthority!

We passed #BuildPublicRenewables so @NYPAenergy can do what for-profit corporations won't: usher in a new era of 100% renewable energy, green union jobs, lower energy bills, and asthma-free neighborhoods.

Let's make sure our public era starts now: https://t.co/JJiP6qfoAa

Building 15 gigawatts by 2030 would create a better future for all:

👷🏼‍♂️25k green union jobs
💸 Lower utility bills
🌳 Shut down peaker plants

It will also put us BACK on the path to 100% renewables by 2040, required by law and for a future for future New Yorkers.

The biggest climate event this week isn't #ClimateWeekNYC. It's in White Plains, where @NYPAenergy is planning our future.

That's why 70 of us came to demand they build the brightest one possible, starting with 15 gigawatts of publicly-built and owned renewables by 2030.

Central Hudson agrees to pay for independent monitor, expedite monthly meter readings

We're hopeful this independent monitor will help resolve the billing issues that community members are STILL faced with!

" The @InvestinOurNY (IONY) coalition has advanced a five-bill legislative package that includes a billionaires’ tax, a capital gains tax on income above $500,000 per year, and an heirs’ tax on the ultra-rich." - @altochulo writes. #InvestInOurNY

Last week, the Public Service Commission voted to approve Phase 2 of debt relief, a $672 million program to relieve electric and gas debt that accrued during the pandemic. Thank you @UtilityProject for this handy guide to check if you’re eligible!

“Central Hudson experienced outage frequency and duration higher than the performance targets primarily due to tree contacts during minor storms. 2021 frequency and duration performance were the worst performance in the past four years.” @AARPNY

Message to @AndreaSCousins: Don't bow to the extreme right-wing @Club4Growth. No fracked gas for Bitcoin mining! Bring @SenatorParker's moratorium bill to a vote. #OffFossilFuels #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/WUr77L40iH
