In fact, natural gas is dirtier than coal, with 86 times more impact on climate, when considered over a twenty-year time frame, and is even more polluting in the near term. We are out of time. The transition away from fossil fuels is overdue, we must stop the use and construction of new infrastructure immediately. We must protect net metering for solar and develop offshore wind starting yesterday. New York can lead on renewables, but not with gas and nuclear getting the support they continue to from the PSC.
