As you may be aware, under the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act, New York State created a Climate Action Council (CAC) charged with developing a scoping plan of recommendations to meet the state’s GHG emissions targets and place New York on a path toward carbon neutrality. The CAC recently released their draft scoping plan, which included expanding direct-to-consumer sales of zero-emission vehicles (bottom of page 103). The CAC is now going to hold public meetings across the state for the public to provide feedback on the plan. We urgently need at least one member to speak in strong support of expanding direct-to-consumer sales of zero-emission vehicles at each of the Council’s 10 public hearings. We are expecting those in opposition to direct sales to come out in full force to oppose its inclusion in the final plan, and therefore, we must make our presence known & voice strong!
