From Long Island to Syracuse, Zeldin blamed state climate laws for job losses and population decline, arguing natural gas—already half of New York’s energy mix—can fuel growth without sacrificing the environment. But environmental groups countered with health risks, citing studies linking fracking to childhood leukemia. Zeldin, a Trump ally who lost to Governor Kathy Hochul in 2022, insists economic and environmental progress can coexist—claiming past EPA policies crushed industries. With Hochul firmly opposing the pipeline and fracking ban still in place, Zeldin’s push faces steep political headwinds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
