FROM BRUCE BLAKEMAN: Kathy Hochul’s Green Energy Scam is not only a threat to your wallet; it is now a public health threat poisoning our communities. Look at East Hampton: a utility-scale battery fire dumped 2.2 million gallons of toxic runoff straight into Long Island’s groundwater, and Kathy Hochul promised the public there was no danger. She lied. Independent testing confirmed dangerous PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ in our water supply. But what’s worse than a Green Energy Scam turning into a toxic chemical disaster? A Governor who covers it up—hiding the dangerous test results for over a year to protect her green narrative.
From radioactive waste in Niagara County to the botched Grumman cleanup in Bethpage, Kathy Hochul has proven she will sacrifice public health and clean water to protect her ‘Green Energy Scam.’ As Governor, I will put an immediate halt to all battery storage facilities across New York State until safety is guaranteed and state regulators are held accountable. Hochul’s Green Energy Scam ends on Day 1, and I’ll cut your utility bill in half. New Yorkers deserve a Governor who protects their wallet, their water quality, and their safety—and Kathy Hochul has failed on all levels,” Nassau County Executive and candidate for Governor of New York Bruce Blakeman said as toxic chemicals were located in East Hampton’s water following a battery energy storage facility fire – despite Kathy Hochul’s repeated claim there was no threat to public drinking water and continued support for large scale battery storage facilities.
