Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy, and the public should not bear the costs of building new nuclear reactors when our existing nuclear fleet can’t even afford to operate without massive bailout subsidies from ratepayers. Tell the Gov: No new nukes! bit.ly/psc-nonewnukes

Gov. Hochul calls herself New York's first mom governor. Tuscarora Nation mother and Haudenosaunee Envi Task Force delegate Rene Rickard-Printup has a reminder: Mother Earth is the first mother. Her message? No new nuclear in NY. bit.ly/MomNoNukes @agreeny.bsky.social

A mothers' duty is to protect the environment

The aged nuclear facilities that are active today were built without our consent and some have run well past their intended lifespan. Today we see contaminated sites like the West

New York wants to build new nuclear plants but won't say what they'll cost. When advocates asked, the records came back redacted. A new bill would pause new construction to study the real price before billions are committed. Peekskill scientist Courtney Williams makes the case: bit.ly/3QixfSi

What Doesn’t Governor Hochul Want New Yorkers to Know About the Costs of Nuclear Power?

Passing the Moratorium Act would pause new nuclear projects for 2-½ years

I haven’t posted about this week’s gutting of our NYS climate law just bc it’s so wrenching to witness the destruction of the rule of law on a national level + the maiming of a life- and climate-saving law on a state level. But that’s not emotional maturity so here’s a thread re: what happened. 🧵

All of New York’s operating nuclear reactors, the likely sites of new ones, and some of the largest proposed data centers in the country are on traditional Haudenosaunee homelands. Indigenous nations do not consent to NY’s nuke ambitions. Read more: www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

Decades of industrial poisoning at Massena — PCBs, fluoride, cyanide — left Superfund sites. Now developers want to build again, and Indigenous leaders say enough.

Gas is up 32% in a month and Hochul wants to roll back our Climate Law. Energy experts are clear: the path to affordability and independence runs through renewables, storage and efficiency. Not fossil fuels! Our ED Jessica Azulay breaks it down in @gothamist.com today. Read more here: bit.ly/3OjcQeS

NY energy experts, advocates say Iran war shows need for Hochul to implement climate law

Gov. Hochul’s reliance on fossil fuels may end up costing more than renewables, clean energy advocates say.

In just the 7 years since we passed the Climate Law, there have been 3 global oil and gas crises, skyrocketing prices for heating, electricity, and transportation. Rolling back CLCPA and doubling down on fossil fuel reliance is the opposite of an affordability strategy. gothamist.com/news/ny-ener...

We must defend our Climate Law not only in the legislative realm but also in the regulatory one. A group backed by fossil fuel interests asked NY's Public Service Commission for a hearing on the Climate Law. This could weaken the law. Send this letter by March 30! actionnetwork.org/letters/angr...

Angry about your energy bills? Here's what you can do right now.

New Yorkers’ electricity bills are some of the highest and fastest rising in the country (with gas heating bills not far behind). That's real, and it's not your fault. The reason? Decades of dependen...
