One state senator is showing her support for electrifying New York.
At a press conference, Senator Rachel May said “[electric buildings] are safer, they’re more comfortable, and they are healthier. Everybody who is trying to scare us about some how electric buildings are inferior, they’re wrong.”
May is a sponsor of the All-Electric Buildings Act which would require new buildings in the state to use electricity over gas or oil in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas.
May’s full statement can be found below.
