New York Times: “As New York Energy Costs Surge, Attention Turns to Landmark Climate Law”
This article quotes a New York state senator, who references an RFF report about the affordability connotations of New York’s landmark climate law.
“State Senator Liz Krueger, a Democrat, said that the climate law was not to blame for rising energy costs. ‘That’s nonsense, and everyone knows it,’ she said. Her office cited one report that said that households making less than $200,000 a year would benefit from a core program of the climate law, which charges polluters for exceeding emissions limits and uses the proceeds to invest in renewable projects and energy-efficiency initiatives.”
