Show Notes

New York Governor Kathy Hochul proposes revising the states 2019 climate law, citing excessive costs for everyday people. The law, aimed at cutting pollution, is now deemed too expensive due to unexpected factors. Hochul joins other Democratic governors in easing back on green policies to prioritize affordability. Supporters in her party and farm leaders agree that the current targets are unrealistic and would burden consumers. A memo from her office projects a significant increase in gas prices and home heating fuel costs by 2031. Environmental groups argue that the law actually leads to cheaper energy long-term through a smooth transition to renewables. With Democrats divided, these changes could spark debates as budget talks continue in Albany.
