The NY State Energy Plan hearings culminated on Long Island at the close of September.
There, All Our Energy’s Executive Director, George Povall, takes on THE PROCESS, the plan, and what nonsense of “all of the above” REALLY means.
Many Thanks to Jen Rand from @nyforcleanpower.org for this video!

This is why, @govkathyhochul we will not accept a pipeline in exchange for offshore wind- You can’t stop the illegal orders run on feelings, opinions, and dictatorship. You allow the pipe, he reneges- you got nothing, New Yorkers get bigger bills for dirty energy instead

How are you enjoying being the forced buyer of last resort for skyrocketing -priced fossil fuels?

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · Aug 21

You're living through a major technological revolution right now and it has nothing to do with AI.

The United States is in danger of missing it and getting left behind because our corrupt President wants us to be buyers-of-last-resort for fossil fuels owned by his paymasters in KSA and Russia.

China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky

And the repeal of the 100 ft rule, which drives much of the overbuild in gas pipes causing these rate increases sits on her desk unsigned. “If only there was something she could do”.

Sorry if it hurts your feelings, but tech is competing for your electricity- and YOU will pay to subsidize them. Now that zealots stopped offshore wind and are blocking battery storage and new transmission, where will YOUR energy come from if they take yours?

Opinion from those radicals at the American Lung Association. We need 40% more electricity in just a few years to meet tech demand. But without offshore wind WHERE WILL THAT ENERGY COME FROM? It’s gonna get dark, expensive, and damaging if we are forced to rely on the dirty energy of the past.

Pundits have been showing up everywhere in an obvious coordinated attack to get you to forget NATURAL GAS IS CLIMATE CHANGE and is the second most expensive energy after nuclear. Not clean. Not green. Just toxic, explosive climate harmful gas.

Today hundreds of us marched over the Brooklyn Bridge with dozens of orgs, officials, &families, to tell Governor Hochul to stop the unneeded, dirty, and expensive NESE pipeline. It endangers our communities, waters and marine life off NYC, Far Rockaway, and Long Island. #stopthewilliamsnesepipeline

Plastics production steals trillions of dollars from your health. Yet our leaders cower to the fossil fuels and plastics industry, Packaging reduction in NY is so common sense, the “common sense” touting politicians refuse to address it.

Key for speaking NY state politics:

When a politician, lobbyist, or media outlet talks about “affordable energy” pretty much that actually means “more expensive and dirtier energy”.

All Our Energy @allourenergy.bsky.social · Aug 5

Tell Governor Hochul to sign the repeal of the 100 ft rule at bit.ly/end100ft The NY Senate & Assembly passed it in June to end very expensive ratepayer-subsidized new customer hookups that keep us tied to the old fossil gas system & the huge rate increases you the ratepayer pay, to keep it afloat!

You’re next! Demand is exploding but we cancelled enough offshore wind energy to power all of Long Island-2.4 million homes(3690 MW). Fossil gas = 8 years 2x cost, nuclear 20 years and 3+ times the cost. Zealots fighting transmission upgrades kill options. Let’s get offshore wind back on track!
