9.28.20 - Siena Poll shows broad support for NYISO’s Carbon Pricing proposal
'The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) today, along with the Siena College Research Institute, released a new poll of New Yorkers which found a large majority of respondents are in favor of incorporating a social cost of carbon dioxide emissions into competitive wholesale energy markets.'
'The NYISO designed a pending carbon pricing proposal that will help the state reach its statutory clean energy goals. Carbon pricing uses market-based price signals to achieve reductions in emissions from fossil fuel-based generators while strengthening investment signals for clean generation. Multiple studies find that instituting carbon pricing would help New York meet its clean energy goals faster and more cost-effectively, while reducing emissions and maintaining grid reliability.'
