As she runs for a full term in office, Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing data-gathering hybrid cars in a green push for New York City that also includes more energy efficient buildings.
Hochul said such efforts represent “a major step forward” for the state in meeting its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050 per legislation codified in 2019. limiting the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate emission highlights the need for states like New York to take action against climate change in ways big and small, according to Hochul.
“We’re going to continue working to make sure that we don’t stand on the sidelines. I think we kind of send out our message here today to the Supreme Court. This is New York. Do what you want, but we’re going to do everything we can to protect our lives, our families, our bodies, as well as our planet’s future,” Hochul said Tuesday. who has vowed to take a more pro-business approach to energy policy if elected this fall.
The new climate initiative includes a modified Prius that will drive around New York City equipped with rooftop air monitors.“We have to reverse the state’s ban on the safe extraction of natural gas,” Zeldin told Fox News earlier this week. “We can be exporting not just to other states, we can be exporting energy to other countries. We can create jobs and generate revenue and revitalize communities. We can help pay for what is a plan for the largest tax cut in the history of the state,” he added.
