Upstate United to Climate Action Council: Don’t Silence Upstate Energy Consumers

March 15th, 2022

The following statement is attributable to Justin Wilcox, executive director of Upstate United

“We’re calling on the leadership of New York’s Climate Action Council to add additional Upstate hearings to the slate of public hearings on the state’s draft scoping plan. The fact that there are no meetings currently on the schedule for the Fingers Lake region, Mohawk Valley region and the Hudson Valley region is simply unacceptable. Residents and employers, who will undoubtedly be impacted by the state’s climate plan, deserve to have their voices heard.”
