Join us to build the kind of future we need:

A 2040 where New York runs on 100% renewable energy, built by a new era of union jobs. The wind and sun make our bills go down, our air safe for children to breathe, and our future safe to imagine.

We can build this future. In fact, we passed a law to make sure it happens, called the Build Public Renewables Act. Now, the publicly owned New York Power Authority (NYPA) has the power to do what corporations won’t: build energy for the good of the people, the way New York Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt created it to.

But under Governor Kathy Hochul, NYPA isn’t living up to its potential. Thanks to Hochul's handpicked, controversial NYPA CEO Justin Driscoll, we’ve been stuck with a consultant-crafted public renewables plan won’t result in even a quarter of the public renewables we need to get our climate back on track.

So, movement has united from Asthma Alley to the Hudson Valley, Brooklyn to Buffalo, and AOC to UAW, to demand the next step we need: 15 gigawatts of new, publicly owned renewables by 2030. That’s 25,000 green union jobs, the end of "peaker" plants polluting black and brown neighborhoods, and the kind of leadership that will carry this whole country's climate forward.

Fortunately, this plan is only a draft. Now, NYPA must collect public comments to determine the shape of the final plan, and hold a series of public hearings across the state.

Which is where you come in. It’s time put the “public” back in “public power” and get the public renewables era started off right. Let’s pack these hearings and demand Driscoll and Hochul turn this plan into what we need: 15 GW by 2030. 25,000 green union jobs. Lower bills and lower asthma rates with every smokestack replaced.

It is time for New York to harness public power for the public good, here and everywhere. It is time for New York to lead the way.
