Senator Mattera Discusses Energy Portion Of Senate Democrats' One-House Budget Proposal

During the debate on the New York Senate Democrat’s One-House budget proposal, Senator Mario R. Mattera (2nd Senate District - New York State) discussed his opposition to the energy policies that will harm our ratepayers. Most damaging in this costly proposal is the inclusion of the HEAT Act that will effectively BAN natural gas and eliminate fuel choice in New York State. The Senate Democrats can say that this is about protecting our environment (which is something we all support) but we need a realistic plan not an ill-conceived ban. What the Senate Democrats are really doing is bringing New York down a path that will hurt our families and businesses and force many hardworking men and women to the unemployment line. New York State needs to study green hydrogen, geothermal–thermal networks, sewage heat recovery expansion, carbon capture, nuclear, and retooling our power plants so that we have a clear path that will protect our state and our environment. It also needs to provide training before we eliminate any jobs that our workers have trained for. We need to put this rushed and harmful approach to our energy needs on PAUSE. WE NEED A PLAN - NOT A BAN!
