Coming Soon: New York City Council Scorecard

Most elected officials say they are for the environment, but who is making sure what they say is what they do? The New York League of Conservation Voters is holding members of the New York City Council accountable for their legislative records through our 2008-2009 Scorecard. To be released in the coming days, the Scorecard will examine how Council members voted on a variety of sustainability legislation, from transportation to energy efficiency and climate change.

U.S. House Passes Landmark Climate Legislation

The American Clean Energy and Security Act, sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman and Edward Markey, represents the most critical piece of federal legislation to date dealing with America's energy consumption. Through the implementation of a cap-and-trade program, the legislation will revitalize our economy through job creation, protect national security interests by decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, and protect our planet by lowering our carbon emissions.

A Clean Energy Future

Shaping a new energy policy for the 21st century will be one of the most important tasks of our state government as it will have a monumental impact on our environment, quality of life and economic well being.

Find out more about our energy future by visiting the NYLCV's Education Fund's Energy Portal.
