This extreme and reckless reconciliation bill would be a devastating blow to New York’s clean energy future. The bill Speaker Johnson is attempting to jam through in the dead of night will mean higher gas and electricity costs and the loss of thousands of jobs for New Yorkers. Lawmakers who vote for this bill will have to explain to their constituents why they voted to cut good energy and manufacturing jobs and raise home energy costs in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. We commend Representatives Garbarino, Lalota and Lawler for standing strong for clean energy tax credits, and now we need them to step up again – along with the entire NY congressional delegation – to ensure they don’t end up on the cutting room floor.
NYLCV is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action. We're non-partisan, pragmatic and effective.
