Cohen: Long Island can be a clean energy leader for the nation

No one who lives in a coastal area like Long Island can afford to ignore our changing climate. From southeastern hurricanes to California wildfires, extreme weather is becoming the norm. The good news is that we already have a roadmap to a better future. The clean energy economy we have developed on Long Island provides a path to greater safety and a more durable electric system all while creating good-paying jobs. As policymakers at the New York Public Service Commission consider new rules for solar energy over the next few months, the Long Island Association urges them to continue supporting clean energy technologies and their positive economic impacts.
