This bill will end the worst of those handouts, including $330 million in tax breaks for: Oil and gas used to operate fracked gas infrastructure – even though New York banned fracking itself in 2015 “Bunker” fuels used in container ships and commercial shipping vessels – one of the lowest grade, highest-polluting fuels used in the transportation sector   Airline fuel – one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the country   Diesel and fuel used in manufacturing Fuel and gas used in research and development projects in the fossil fuel industry The longer New York makes it artificially less expensive to use oil and gas, the worse the climate crisis and air pollution will get – and the longer it will take to transition our state to a 100% clean energy future. Governor Hochul must end $330 million of outrageous taxpayer-funded handouts to fossil fuel companies. Big Oil and Gas has found many creative ways to pick your pockets and line their own. New York has the chance rollback these unfair advantages – starting with Governor Hochul including these two bills in her proposed budget. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-polluter-handouts
