Environmental Advocates NY Statement on Gov. Hochul’s Cap-and-Invest Remarks
In response to Governor Hochul’s remarks today regarding her continued delay of the Cap-and-Invest emissions reduction program Environmental Advocates NY released the following statement from Katherine Nadeau, Deputy Executive Director of Policy and Programs:
“Delay is a decision — an expensive one. Every day the Governor waits is a day we miss out on billions in investment, local jobs, cleaner air, and progress toward energy independence. And the sooner we get moving, the faster New Yorkers will reap the benefits of our responsible, forward-looking emissions reduction plan — and move toward the clean air goals we enacted in 2019.
“With every passing day of inaction, this administration is forcing us to fight climate disaster battles with our hands tied behind our backs. It’s time for Governor Hochul to take the lead and get Cap-and-Invest going.”
