In the past hour, the Trump admin has deleted their web page that recommended setting thermostats between 75-78 during heat waves, and 85 if you are not home, after the GOP learned that Mayor Mamdani was urging New Yorkers to follow White House guidance.
Just a reminder that the average Con Ed bill has gone up 30% since Kathy Hochul took office and she just forced through another increase earlier this year while failing to invest in renewable energy options that would lower our bills.
This heat is especially dangerous for New Yorkers without air conditioning. All NYC landlords will have to provide AC to their tenants starting in 2030, thanks to our Cool Homes for All law.
Please remember that ALL NYC libraries are cooling centers. If you happen to be near one and are burning up, just go inside and take a seat. The AC is booming. You might even find a cool book 😉
