Written by Office of Assemblyman Kevin Byrne Assemblyman Kevin Byrne (R,C,I,SAM,ROS-Mahopac) recently joined Assembly Minority Leader Will Barlcay (R,C,I-Pulaski), Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I,-Corning), New York’s largest energy consumers representative Multiple Intervenors, and more than 70 state organizations including leading advocates for organized labor and business, calling for a fiscal impact study to guide the Climate Action Council’s (CAC) development plan. The CAC was tasked with implementing the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), and was empowered to radically change the way electricity is generated in New York state and thereby threatens the reliability and affordability of utility services for millions of New Yorkers.
