New York can be a Climate Leader
In 1931, FDR established the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the largest state public power utility in the country, with the promise “to give back to the people the waterpower which is theirs.” Public ownership of renewable energy isn’t just smart—it’s our heritage.

NY Build Public Renewables Act
Through the New York Power Authority, we can deliver energy to New Yorkers at lower rates than they currently pay while increasing democratic accountability and community control over the energy grid on which we all depend – with the New York Build Public Renewables Act.

We have the power
DSA taxed the rich, elected socialists to office, and beat back fracked gas plants in Queens and Newburgh that were supported by multibillion-dollar corporations. If anyone is going to launch the era of the Green New Deal, it’s us.
