Where to find the answer to the climate crisis: Look no further than the state of New York with its ambitious program. The United States, individual states and many countries around the globe should follow New York's blueprint to address the climate crisis, which is being implemented through an aggressive program lead by state government and the private sector.

In 2019, New York state enacted the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act that set goals calling for a reduction in green house gas emissions with the development of 9000 megawatts of offshore wind, 6000 megawatts of solar generation and 3000 megawatts of energy storage. Many individuals at that time regarded these goals as being aspirational and would be very difficult to achieve. But now three years later there has been enormous progress.
