Within a 15-day period, Governor Kathy Hochul resisted a judge's order to enforce state climate laws, announced a delay in moving to all-electric buildings, approved a previously denied pipeline through New York Harbor, and permitted a cryptocurrency company to continue operating a fossil-fuel power plant for mining. The pipeline approval follows a five-year denial and will run from Staten Island's South Shore to the Rockaways. Her office frames these decisions as an "all-of-the-above approach" aimed at affordability. Access to the full story requests an email sign-up for free newsletters.
