It was Audrey Zibelman, as head Gov Cuomo's Public Service Commission, who crafted, along with colleague Richard Kaufmann, Cuomo's 'energy czar', the mis-named 'Clean Energy Standard' (CES). Kaufmann hails the CES an "environmental-financial imperative." The CES dictates that CO2 is a pollutant, and CO2 emissions are dangerously heating the planet.
After getting the CES underway, Zibelman left for Australia in early 2017, leaving the implementation of the 'green new deal' to John Rhodes (former NRDC), Bruce Seggos (NRDC Associate), banker Kaufmann. NY's grid, run by NYISO, answers to NYSERDA (run by Kaufmann), and so on...Cuomo appointees.
