Who needs ‪#‎fracking‬ when New York has so much potential for clean, renewable energy?!?

WOW - SOME GOOD NEWS TO SHARE! Another $88 MILLION has been raised from polluters in order to set us on the path to a cleaner energy future! http://bit.ly/WoOJeN

We've been hard at work supporting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) since its inception in 2008. RGGI puts a cap on power plant carbon emissions, simultaneously raising money to reinvest back into energy efficiency projects, as well as solar, wind and more. Every single county in the state has benefited from RGGI.

And now, RGGI's incredible work will do even more as an amazing $88 MILLION was raised this week from polluters! 

If you'd like to know more about RGGI and how it's benefited your region, CHECK OUT our 2013 report: http://bit.ly/1i3Hcsk

"We've seen that with other states that have rushed ahead with hydrofracking. The water is polluted, the economic impacts have not been beneficial and peoples' public health is suffering."
