The Senate majority leader is the most senior politician yet to come out against the controversial proposal.
NEW YORK ― The fight to stop New York City’s private electric companies from building new gas-fired plants won a powerful new ally on Friday, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for an end to all new fossil fuel infrastructure in the nation’s largest metropolis. Standing outside the 500-acre utility complex on the northwestern tip of the borough of Queens, Schumer said he opposes all new gas plants in “Queens, the city, the state and this country.” “If we do nothing to stop global warming within a few years, every year will be worse than COVID,” he said, surrounded by nearly all of the neighborhood’s elected officials. “We do not need and cannot afford, with the existential threat to our planet, any more coal, oil or gas.”
