the boundaries that are laid out by the CLCPA or the Green New Deal.
Lucia RibisiGUEST
25:25
What's the CLCPA? The CLCPA is the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
Lucia RibisiGUEST
25:33
If we think about this as boundaries, if we think about this in relation to boundaries, it's environmental regulations that help us reach net zero emissions by 2030.
Lucia RibisiGUEST
25:42
It's basically, if we say that you can assert your boundaries by saying what you do want instead of what you don't want.

STREAM would fund all the electric infrastructure at Stamp and make additional improvements to the electrical grid.
DougNARRATOR
35:51
Further, STREAM would pay a market rate for power and make over 30 million in annual payments towards Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act programs.
DougNARRATOR
36:01
The same can be said about comments in the article that water bills will increase when, in fact, STREAM has proposed using less than 20,000 gallons per day of water.
DougNARRATOR

largely for employee sanitary uses.

In our own backyard, the silenced surrounding impacts of the old Tonawanda Coke development is most unfortunate.
LitaNARRATOR
29:33
On the surface, water that used to cool the old Huntley plant is still permitted and significant, but how does it match with what is needed at the proposed data center? Speaking of the old Huntley plant, the New York Independent System Operator, or NYISO, has issued warnings on the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, now seven years into implementation, with renewable energy development falling further behind power demands and high-density coal-powered imports from Pennsylvania filling parts of that void.
LitaNARRATOR
30:08
Might it make sense to take advantage of the valuable substation adjacent to the plant to put natural gas power generation, half the carbon emission of coal, onto the grid that at least matches the power to be used at the data center? Agreements to curtail power use during peak demand would help address the NYISO power supply worries, as the CLCPA objectives meet costs and reliability realities.
LitaNARRATOR
30:37
The Tonawanda River Road industrial area is also in the middle of it.
Sarah SchauerHOST

It's not clear whether the AG will appeal the decision.
Sarah SchauerHOST

New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, signed by then-governor, in 2019, Andrew Cuomo required the state to reduce its excess greenhouse gas emissions and authorized it to seek up to $75 billion in damages, quote, from fossil fuel companies.
Sarah SchauerHOST
39:37
The legal challenge against New York alleges that the state's quote, superfund law is a quote, transparent monetary extraction scheme designed to fund the state's infrastructure projects with money from out of state businesses.

Get fucked.

And although the governor and the legislature have gutted the CLCPA, we still have major, major climate issues.
Merton SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

It's just recently that we had the latest round of fires from Canada, which made the air unbreathable.
Merton SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

There were parts of the Northeast where it was recommended that people don't leave their homes because the air was not sustainable.

The truth is as many of us heard, we are in an energy crisis, she said.
Patricia MaryNARRATOR
54:10
Not only did we have to push back our climate goals in the CLCPA in this year's state budget, but we have not built nearly built out the amount of renewable energy sources in order to support new demand on the grid or growing demand on the grid.
Patricia MaryNARRATOR
54:28
So there is really no realistic way to bring on so many of these proposals and more than that We have record of high utility bills across the state and without a separate energy class or even a separate water class being created, as would be required under the Responsible Data Center Development Act.
Patricia MaryNARRATOR
54:51
those costs would be socialized among the same consumer class as all of us, meaning we will see record high utility bills in New York City.
