Energy

Reducing energy costs and promoting adequate and diverse energy supplies will help support economic growth. New York should:

• Repeal the recently enacted increase to the Public Service Law 18-a assessment and avoid new energy taxes and assessments
  
  
• Assure the cost-effectiveness and need for any programs financed by state imposed charges before such charges are reauthorized or increased
  
  
• Oppose state-level, economy-wide GHG emission reduction mandates
  
  
• Support relicensing of Indian Point Power Plant
  
  
• Promote investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure necessary for system reliability and to support deployment of renewable generation
