New York's comptroller reported that the state's clean energy transition will need to accelerate to meet its goals.

The first formal review of progress on New York's landmark climate protection act puts costs to date at $44 billion but does not predict the eventual total.

Financing the billion-dollar components of the clean-energy transition was the leadoff topic at the annual meeting of the Energy Bar Association's Northeast Chapter.

Nationwide, 293 renewable projects have been contested and localities have enacted 228 renewable project restrictions, a climate change center report notes.
