These blackouts and brownouts aren't happening because we don't have enough energy.
They're happening because Con Ed has put shareholder profits over basic grid maintenance for decades.
We need #PublicPower! ✊⚡
Reminder: As Con Ed sends out these blasts, they are also expanding a fracked gas pipeline in Astoria and a massive pipeline from the Bronx/Westchester border down to the South Bronx
Plus dumping millions of $ into their LNG facility in Astoria
And customers are paying for it
Stay safe everyone.
In this heat wave, parts of NYC have experienced blackouts or brownouts. Con Ed is also reducing voltage to select parts of the city to preserve the grid.
We need to nationalize all energy infrastructure and transition to 100% renewable energy. #PublicPower
