FROM SENATOR TOM O’MARA: “It should be hitting home for every policymaker about just how unaffordable and devastating this state has become for everyday New Yorkers, largely due to decisions, policies, and agendas coming out of Albany. That’s especially true when it comes to New York State’s direction on energy policy. Many of us have been saying it for years now. The ‘Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act’ as it was set in motion by Albany Democrats seven years ago is not affordable, feasible, or reliable. It has already delivered a heavy price tag for ratepayers and taxpayers, small businesses and manufacturers, school districts, farmers, and entire local economies. It is not achievable. It is not responsible or rational. It lacks critical foresight and common sense, and it unreasonably risks energy grid reliability and affordability. New Yorkers need relief from the CLCPA mandates now.”
