Join Renewable Heat Now and allies for a bold, creative, and powerful day of action in Albany. This isn't just another lobby day — we're showing up loud, energized, and unmissable to demand the NY HEAT Act gets passed before the legislative session ends. You won't want to miss it!

NY HEAT is the hottest climate action & energy affordability bill in the state! This legislation is practical, popular and necessary. Gas utilities keep raising rates to pay for costly new fracked gas pipes. NY HEAT is the bill we need to start the transition to clean home energy, and we need it now.
