“Entrepreneurs want to help. Just call on us.”
So say energy policy expert Suzanne Hunt and clean energy entrepreneur Jigar Shah. They are imploring New York State lawmakers to recognize the danger of the energy crisis. Shah held a prominent position in the Biden administration. Now he, Hunt, and their colleagues are working to convince Governor Hochul and the legislature to act urgently. The worldwide energy crisis, exacerbated by the war in Iran, has only intensified the situation.
This hour, we talk about the specific actions that the state could take this month – actions that our guests say would reduce energy bills for people who are already struggling.
Our guests:
- Suzanne Hunt, vice president of policy at Generate Upcycle
- Jigar Shah, co-managing partner of Multiplier
- Marguerite Wells, executive director of the Alliance for Clean Energy New York
