@petesikora.bsky.socialReposted by @350nyc.bsky.socialA private equity firm being purchased by a data center developer wants to build a big new fracked gas power plant on the Brooklyn waterfront.
Higher bills, more pollution. đŹ
Weâre organizing in Sunset Park to stop it. Join us. Hochul say NO!
@oilchange.orgReposted by @350nyc.bsky.socialThe Senate permitting bill would be a gift to data centers and their massive gas buildout. It would weaken accountability + give developers more power at communitiesâ expense.
Congress should reject the bill.

@petesikora.bsky.socialReposted by @350nyc.bsky.socialđ¤ At the moment, Mamdani is not taking big shots on climate/jobs. Nor is he taking the (small/med) shots he said he would. NYC is a global leader on climate/jobs action b/c of Local Laws 97, 154 & divestment. Policies he inherited. So far Zohran isnât furthering the cityâs leadership. He should!đ§ľ
