Energy state of emergency resolution

A 25-year county resident and attorney with Citizen Action of New York strongly opposed the energy emergency resolution, arguing rising bills are driven by natural gas export demand, not the climate law, and urged the legislature to pursue a consumer advocate instead.

A Schodack resident and anti-pipeline activist opposed the resolution, arguing climate change is a crisis driving extreme weather and that renewables are cheaper than gas or nuclear; she voiced concern for her granddaughter's future.
