Advocates for clean energy got a big boost this week after a bill that requires sales of all passenger cars in New York be free of emissions by 2035 was approved. It’s currently on its way to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk for his signature.
The legislation, sponsored by Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chair Steve Englebright and Sen. Pete Harckham, passed the state Senate on Monday.
The bill also pushes for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles offered for sale or lease to be zero-emissions by 2045.
Guest Commentary
The Adirondack Park Agency will issue a death warrant to a pristine Adirondack lake Friday, and a mystery lurks as to why. Woodward Lake, in Fulton County, is about 100 acres, undeveloped and shallow. The entire tract is about 1,200 acres. The developer (who, according to Protect the Adirondacks, has four outside-the-Park projects totaling 533 lots on 9,800 acres) will be allowed to ring its shoreline with 18 lots, whack up an untouched forest with 16 more, and build 2,000 feet of new road through it. I was employed by the agency a quarter-century ago, from the mid-’70s to the mid-’90s, as first associate counsel, next counsel and finally as both executive director and counsel. (Budget wouldn’t allow me to fill the counsel position.)
