New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill that would have expedited an offshore wind project off the coast of Long Island and allowed for a transmission line under the public beach in the city of Long Beach. "It is incumbent on renewable energy developers to cultivate and maintain strong ties to their host communities," Hochul wrote in her veto message. "Here, the City Council of Long Beach, the host community for the wind power project, has made clear that, while it supports the state's efforts to transition from the use of fossil fuels, it would not support or authorize any alienation of parkland."
