@renewableheatnow.bsky.socialReposted by @weact4ej.bsky.socialThe 100 foot rule has cost New Yorkers $600M a year, tacking the cost of new gas hookups onto everyone's delivery charges. We got a law passed to end it, and the Governor signed it. Now the Public Service Commission has to follow through, fully and on time

@weact4ej.bsky.socialDID YOU KNOW: Over 78 million people of color breathe dirty air (American Lung Association).
