I would argue that knowing how to achieve the goal; deciding if it is worth it compared to other goals; and thinking about the pathway are all important gateways to building support and overcoming that resistance.

As someone who used to work in the City of New York and at a muni (Seattle City Light), I don't think that NYC has the capacity to run a utility rn. I've heard the critique that CCAs are a half measure, but municipalization is and always will be hard. We can aim that way but there are so many steps.

So, I don't know anyone in this admin but I did talk CCA with some NYC staffers 4-5 yrs ago. Some bitterness then over Westchester County excluding Yonkers. CCA could get a higher renewable content or even RECs attached even to gas, but it depends on whether PPAs and RECs are additional in NYS.

It was fun, but we stopped riding it once my daughter became a teenager, and my wife refuses to ride any tandem, so we sold it to a nice older couple who needed the step-through. 😀😀😀
