More than 9 trillion cubic feet of clean-burning natural gas sits beneath my feet, but Kathy Hochul’s extraction ban keeps that prosperity locked in the ground. Instead of lowering energy costs, the Hochul administration approved 48 utility rate hikes and raised energy taxes by $4,100. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania used natural gas to reduce emissions, create hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and save families nearly $9 billion on energy bills last year alone. As Governor, I will bring fracking back to New York, unleash our energy economy while protecting the environment, and cut utility bills in half.
Great to join State Senator George Borrello, Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski, Republican Comptroller candidate Joseph Hernandez, my Lt. Governor candidate Sheriff Todd Hood, and representatives of New York's energy industry Friday to call for an end to New York's ban on and a return to energy policies focused on affordability, reliability, and economic growth.
