Fracking

  • In 2011, Cuomo expressed his desire to close the Indian Point nuclear plant in Buchanan, N.Y. He explained, "As attorney general, I did a lot of work on Indian Point. I understand the power and the benefit. I also understand the risk, and this plant, in this proximity to New York City, was never a good risk."[2]

Energy development

  • Andrew Cuomo started "a $1 billion NY Green Bank to stimulate private sector financing and to facilitate the financing of creditworthy clean-energy projects" and allocated "$1 billion through the NY-Sun initiative to promote the wide scale deployment of solar projects."[3]

Environmental protection

  • In January 2013, Andrew Cuomo "proposed lowering the total amount of carbon dioxide that companies may emit under a regional cap-and-trade program to regulate air pollution," according to Bloomberg Business.[4]
  • Cuomo "secured $583 million for the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), increasing it 17 percent from the year he took office. The EPF is the state’s core funding source for projects such as: purchasing land for the state Forest Preserve, restoring historic sites, conserving farmland, restoring habitats, boosting recycling programs, supporting the stewardship of public lands for managing trails and lands, protecting natural resources, and preserving wildlife habitats."[3]

Climate change

  • In January 2013, Andrew Cuomo said, “First thing we have to learn is to accept the fact, and I believe it is a fact, that climate change is real. It’s inarguable that the sea is warmer and that there is a changing weather pattern, and the time to act is now.”[4]
