NEW YORK STATE'S CLIMATE ACTION PLAN---UNICORNS AND PIXIE DUST, NY POST

1/15/2022 - New York State’s new climate plan is a bunch of electric schlock

In the last decade, New Yorkers have purchased fewer than 60,000 battery-powered vehicles (BEVs) — less than 1% of the 9 million registered vehicles on the road. In 2021, they purchased around 20,000 BEVs. One hurdle to purchasing BEVs is that they are expensive, about $10,000 more on average than a gasoline-powered vehicle. 

And, like everything else, BEVs are getting more expensive, not less.

This is just one reason why a new statewide plan presented by the Climate Action Council will not work.

Just before the New Year, the Climate Action Council — a group initiated by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration — released its Draft Scoping Plan, which details how the state will meet all the mandates signed into law by the New York Climate Act two years ago.
