The gas industry is running the same disinfo campaign to stop efforts to go fossil fuel free. The playbook: scare people about clean energy, distract from real solutions with bogus ideas & delay progress toward a clean, healthy future. But NYers and lawmakers are wising up!

Thank you to @howarth_cornell for educating legislators about the ongoing disinformation campaign from the fossil fuel industry to stop New York's progress toward a clean energy future that is reliable, affordable, and equitable.

The harmful health effects of gas impact us all, but disproportionately more in Black and Brown communities. We have to improve their quality of life and push for a #GasFreeNY . @BasilSeggos , @SteveEngles , @toddkaminsky support the All-Electric Building Act
