Renewable Energy Siting Reform - Let’s Make Progress Now

A diverse coalition of environment and clean energy groups has written to state Senate and Assembly leaders urging negotiation with, and support for, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed power plant siting law reform bill. While there is some resistance within the legislature to adding another important policy reform measure to the current budget negotiations, supporters of the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth & Community Benefit Act stress the need to move quickly to achieve the aggressive climate goals passed in last year’s legislative session.
