NY BUSINESS LEADERS TO ALBANY AND THEIR NEXT GOVERNOR:

LET’S STOP IMPORTING $50 BILLION IN OIL, GAS, AND COAL EACH YEARBusiness Forward has organized hundreds of briefi ngs across the country on clean energy, climate change, and energy security. These briefi ngs have included two Secretaries of En-ergy, two EPA Administrators, dozens of U.S. Senators and Congressmen, and hundreds of other o� cials.

Last month, we asked business leaders in New York to sign the following letter in support of e� orts to produce more clean energy in state. More than 1,100 business leaders, representing 58 of New York’s 64 counties, responded. Seven out of 10 reside outside New York City. Onondaga County and the Hudson River Valley are especially well represented. Counties with a higher percentage of signatories than the state population include: Orleans, Genesee, Monroe, Franklin, Clinton, Warren, Saratoga, Otsego, Delaware, Ulster, Rensselaer, Columbia, and Putnam.

1. Keep Our Money Here.New York spends $50 billion each year importing coal, gas and oil. That $50 billion pays for jobs, schools and road repairs in places like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Louisiana, and Texas. By switching to solar and wind, we can keep more of that spending here, creating jobs and fi xing infrastructure across New York.

2. Everyone Benefi ts.No matter where in the state we produce this power, all New Yorkers will benefi t. Taxes paid by wind turbine operators in Oswego will help fund roads in New Rochelle. Grid upgrades in Syracuse will help reduce rates in Utica.

3. Jobs Where We Need Them.Clean energy economies favor many counties that deserve a break. Mill towns and farm-land upstate enjoy some of the region’s steadiest and strongest winds, and new fi nancing models for solar create business opportunities in urban areas. A New York energy boom could create jobs where we need them most.

4. If Not Clean Energy, What?Few industries are as big, as local or as jobs-intensive as energy. Let’s bring some of that $50 billion back.

TO THE GOVERNOR AND STATE LEGISLATURE:

ONLY 3 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY

NEW YORKPRODUCES IS RENEWABLE

FACT:

DUE TO COASTAL FLOODING, AGRICULTURAL DISRUPTION,

AND HIGHER ELECTRICITY COSTS (HEAT WAVES).

BURNING OIL, COAL, AND GAS CAUSES ANOTHER $33 BILLION IN PUBLIC HEALTH

COSTS EACH YEAR.

EXTREME WEATHER COSTS NEW YORK

$10+ BILLION/YEAR

FACT:

IF INVESTMENTS ARE MADE TO ACHIEVE A

50 PERCENT EMISSIONSREDUCTION BY 2030.

NEW YORK COULD CREATE 145,000 TO 160,000 NEW JOBS

PER YEAR

FACT:

This transformative clean energy program can be accomplished at little to no cost to consumers. This is because the average cost of delivering a given supply of electricity from clean renewable sources will be roughly equal to, if not cheaper than, virtually all fossil-fuel based technologies.Source: Clean Energy Investments for New York State, R.
