There's no way around it: in the next 15 years, we have to replace all of New York's fossil power plants with renewables. Unsurprisingly, the fossil industry is fighting this future tooth and nail, insisting they can keep their plants open by using false solutions like carbon capture, renewable natural gas, and green hydrogen. This fight, which has been raging for years, is coming to a head. Renowned energy justice attorney and advocate Raya Salter joins John and Juan-Pablo to break down the policy and politics of shutting down New York’s power plants. This episode covers: Why do we need to shut down existing plants? What are false solutions, and why don’t they work? And what does the Public Service Commission's zero emissions proceeding have to do with all this? Subscribe to the Energy Justice Law & Policy Center newsletter here.
