Electric Vehicle Companies Send Letter to Lawmakers Calling for a Clean Fuel Standard

As leading electric vehicle (EV) charging businesses and proponents of transportation electrification, we write to express our support for Assembly Bill 862-A and its companion Senate Bill 2962-A to implement a Clean Fuels Standard (CFS) in New York. A CFS will help accelerate transportation electrification and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the highest GHG emitting sector in the state, putting New York on track to meet its goals under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).

Op-Ed: Long Island faces garbage crisis: Albany needs to act

Long Island has a garbage crisis. Its 3 million residents generate about 7 pounds of solid waste per person per day – nearly twice the national average. Roughly a quarter of that is food waste. In total, the region produces about 1.4 million tons of food waste each year. Long Island’s last landfill in Brookhaven will close in 2025, and all that food waste will have to go somewhere.

Opinion: Polluters must pay for New York’s transition to clean transportation

We have a choice to make on transportation as we transition to a zero-emission sector: We can keep using fossil fuels or we can provide incentives to move to clean fuels. We think that transition should be financed by the same polluters that led us into the climate crisis.
