OPINION: From Brooklyn to Philly, the clean energy revolution
Brooklyn residents will join thousands of people heading to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention. But they’re not going as party delegates. They’re joining the March for a Clean Energy Revolution.
On July 24, the day before the convention gets underway, college students, senior citizens, union members, faith leaders and other New Yorkers will join together in calling for a just transition from dangerous energy to clean, renewable power.
Hold on a second. New York banned fracking, right? And Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio support renewable energy, yes? So what do we have to worry about.
