The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act fails the residents of New York.

Our power grid is not ready for a full electrification mandate. We need a smarter energy policy that supports affordable energy, reliable energy, and energy choice.

Say no to the implementation of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.

Let Governor Hochul and your County Leaders know that New Yorkers value energy choice and do not want to take on unnecessary costs, increased outage risks, and decreased grid reliability.

As a resident of New York who values energy choice and relies on fossil fuel for safe, dependable, and cost-effective energy, I implore you to oppose any legislation that bans the use of natural gas, propane, or oil in homes and businesses. Such drastic measures are not only risky, but also unaffordable and unreliable.

This kind of legislation will cause electricity rates to skyrocket making energy unaffordable. Forced electrification is estimated to cost $20,000 - $41,000  for a single-family home, according to the Final Scoping Plan, page 193. Will my community become a disadvantaged community as a result of these policies?

The ban also makes me worry about whether my neighbors and I will have heat if the power goes out due to harsh winter weather combined with the unreliability of an overburdened energy grid. As more and more businesses and homes are forced to electrify, grid expansion and upgrades will be necessary. The New York State Public Service Commission, in Case 20-E-0197, estimates the cost of transmission upgrades necessary for renewable energy growth at $4.414 billion! Furthermore, much of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act legislation is based on technology that doesn’t even exist yet.

I should be able to choose the best energy options for me and my family. And I know the best choice is NOT ELECTRIFICATION. Even if I could afford to electrify my house, I wouldn’t want to. Electric heat is not available during electrical outages; it’s the most EXPENSIVE energy there is; and it doesn’t heat well in extremely cold weather. That's why fossil fuel bans endanger not only my family, but all New Yorkers.  Supporting legislation that further erodes energy safety, affordability, and reliability must be rejected!

Banning fossil fuels is a discriminatory energy policy—it is not diverse, equitable, or inclusive.  Instead of indiscriminately abandoning inexpensive, reliable fuels such as natural gas, propane, and oil, or artificially inflating their prices through a cap & invest tax, we should pursue a more comprehensive, all-of-the-above approach to a cleaner energy future that is affordable, reliable, and safe. Carbon emissions can be reduced without eliminating fossil fuels. Forced electrification will create more disadvantaged communities that can neither afford, nor desire these changes.

I hope you will consider my concerns and reject any legislation that bans fossil fuel as an energy choice.

Thank you.
