IT ADDS UP: The Business Council of New York State today will unveil a calculator that assesses the cost of an “aggressive” cap-and-invest program for the state’s climate law.
“This calculator allows businesses and everyday energy customers to input their actual energy usage data to see firsthand just how unaffordable this law could become in the future,” said Paul Zuber, the group’s executive vice president.
Hochul is trying to weaken law in the state budget negotiations by requiring less aggressive emissions reductions. The changes are opposed by Democrats in the state Legislature and environmental groups.
