Bill Overbaugh, executive director of the New York Propane Gas Association
The propane industry in New York State is in a fight for its life. New York State’s so-called Climate Act (passed in 2019) requires New York to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and no less than 85% by 2050, from 1990 levels. So far, the Climate Action Council (CAC), which is tasked with developing a framework for implementing these impossible goals, has proposed outright bans on fossil fuels in favor of electrification. Just two of the 22-member committee represent the fossil fuel industry (which passes for fair and balanced in NY). The New York Propane Gas Association (NYPGA) is fighting back against the crazies who demand an end to the use of propane in the state. Learn how the NYPGA is responding, below.
