A proposed delay to New York’s climate goals is drawing sharp pushback, according to WETM. Lawmakers and advocates warn the move could raise costs and slow the clean energy transition.
Governor Kathy Hochul wants to push key deadlines from 2030 to 2040, citing economic challenges.
Critics argue the delay could cost households thousands and stall investment. Supporters of the law say it lowers long-term costs, while opponents warn of rising energy prices. The debate continues as part of state budget talks.
