9.25.24 - An electric power line to make New York greener
As the world gathers for Climate Week NYC, New York is rightly focused on its own fight against climate change and environmental injustice.
New York’s climate goals, including having 70% of the state’s energy come from renewable sources by 2030, are bold and aggressive. Unfortunately, recent reports have found that we are unlikely to hit these targets on time, calling into question whether these bold initiatives are achievable at all.
