Good news from Jessica Azulay, AGREE program director (Azulay won the inaugural Friedman award, named in honor of Beyond Nuclear founding board member Lou Friedman, and People's Action for Clean Energy leader Judi Friedman):

'David v Goliath victory' as judge denies five of six objections to the lawsuit against New York's $7.6 billion nuclear bailout.

Rules that the lawsuit will be fully heard in court.

On January 23, the lawsuit challenging New York's ratepayer subsidies to four uneconomic, aging nuclear reactors owned by Exelon Corporation cleared a major hurdle when Judge Roger D. McDonough rejected motions to dismiss that were brought by the state of New York and several nuclear energy corporations.

Our sincere gratitude and congratulations to all the plaintiffs and the legal team in this important case, particularly lead plaintiff Hudson River Sloop Clearwater.

Energized by this crucial win, we will continue to work for energy efficiency, affordability, and renewable energy for all energy consumers in New York. AGREE has been fighting nuclear bailouts in New York since 2015 and is involved in helping push this case forward as well as many other efforts to keep our money out of the pockets of nuclear corporations. Please donate so we can keep this work going. (As a bonus, all donations up to $4,000 will be matched by a generous anonymous donor. Every dollar you give will be doubled, and every little bit helps!)

Stay tuned for more ways to get involved as we build the momentum against nuclear bailouts in New York. And thank you for everything that you do to help our state transition to a renewable energy future!
