Andrew Cuomo on Energy & Oil

2002 Democratic Challenger NY Governor

Power for Jobs: use low cost hydropower

New York State produces a substantial amount of low cost hydropower through NYPA for the benefit of the public. While some of this power is used to reduce residential energy bills, the balance is used for economic development.

I will introduce a permanent Power for Jobs program, which ensures predictability and stability of supply with long-term contracts and incorporates efficiency incentives to reward such improvements.

Comprehensive study before exploring Marcellus Shale

As Governor, Andrew Cuomo will continue to be an environmental champion, by:

Ensuring that, as the State's fiscal position improves, the Environmental Protection Fund ("EPF")--a dedicated fund to protect the environment and enhance our communities

Making sure health and environmental risks are comprehensively studied before natural gas exploration in New York's Marcellus Shale formation occurs. Source: 2010 gubernatorial campaign website, andrewcuomo.com , Nov 1, 2010
