New York Climate Push Wins As Court Upholds CES Program
A federal ruling rejects challenges to New Yorks zero emission credit program, backed by Gov Cuomo and energy groups. Exelon and NRG plan appeals but supporters praise the decision as a cost effective carbon abatement bridge to a market based clean energy system. Upstate reactors such as FitzPatrick face potential losses without CES subsidies, while Illinois similarly defends its ZEC program.

Counties weigh cutting county equipment rental fees over concerns
Oswego County Democrats push to modify the policy for renting county owned equipment to municipalities. Farfaglia argues the current schedule isn’t fair and favors a shift toward contracts that could include time limits and late fees with municipalities responsible for fuel and damage costs. Lawmakers note most counties don’t charge and stress equipment costs justify maintenance. No action was taken at Tuesday's Technology Committee meeting.
