Are they though? Anybody reasonably informed on this? I'd like to believe there's been some good happenings in NY, but I've been burned before.
Yeah this is the first major GND legislation in US history. It will empower the NY Power Authority to build publicly owned and union ran clean energy projects to reach 70% renewable by 2030 and 100% by 2040.

Well, what I mean is, is this going to survive the real world? Is there gonna be a lawsuit calling it unconstitutional, is funding gonna dry up, does a single electoral loss cause it all to go away.... You know what I mean?
A lot of it depends on NYPA and whether the legislature can get better leadership in. Hochul tried to kneecap BPRA already but she seems to have rolled over and let the bill in the budget without any major concessions on it. Its NY so shits always bad here with how terrible our governors have been, but the legislature is pretty good now actually and theres 8 DSA endorsed socialists that are quite popular and able to move this kind of stuff forward. I expect things will probably move slow though cause it NY we're talking about.
okay but if I feel even slightly happy about this, it's on your ass when the state supreme court throws out the entire bill
