2019 NY Enviro Law is Blocking New Oil & Gas Drilling, as Designed

In June 2019, the New York State legislature passed a horrific “energy” bill that was later signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (see New York Pulls the Trigger, Commits Energy Suicide with New Law). The new Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) law limits carbon dioxide emissions to zero (an impossibility) by 2050. The following manufacturing industries in the state are being forced to close or move out of the state because of the law: glass (say goodbye to the entire community of Corning), steel, cement, auto, metal casting, food, pulp and paper, aluminum, plastics, ceramics, and chemicals. Oh! And don't forget conventional oil and gas drillers who report the CLCPA is making it impossible to drill new wells. Jobs are disappearing from the O&G industry.
