Nearly 30 lawmakers and hundreds of advocates from across New York State rallied in Albany last week to urge the Assembly to pass the New York Home Energy Affordable Transition (NY HEAT) Act. The legislation, designed to address the state’s escalating energy affordability and climate crises, promises to lower energy bills for struggling households and accelerate the state’s shift to clean energy.
The NY HEAT Act has garnered broad support from environmental advocates, community leaders, and lawmakers, many of whom have been calling for its passage for months.
Michael Hernandez of Rewiring America is one of those advocates and he appeared on Radio Chatskill.
