Clean Energy Calendar

Empire Clean Cities, ConEd, NYCSBUS, Logan Bus, WRI, and NYSERDA invite you to an Electric School Bus Expo at the NYCSBUS Brooklyn depot. The ESB EXPO will feature interactive, real-world demonstrations for school bus operators, school district transportation directors, and others interested in learning about electric school buses.

ESB EXPO attendees will have access to charger demonstrations, electric school bus ride-alongs (featuring both Type A and Type C buses), and opportunities to learn about the latest technologies and funding programs. Vendors and technical experts will be available on-site to discuss procurement options, financing, maintenance considerations, charging logistics, and facility planning—and to answer practical questions about what it really takes to operate electric buses. Don’t miss this FREE event! Parking is available on-site.

Hosted by No North Brooklyn Pipeline Campaign, Sane Energy Project, and No One’s Ark ~Pirates of the Newtown Creek~

We’ll explore how the Greenpoint LNG Facility connects to pipelines, fracked gas, and rising utility bills right in our backyard.

What’s at Stake

Right now, National Grid — a UK-based monopoly corporation operating as a local utility – plans to expand fracked-gas infrastructure well into the 2050s, ignoring New York’s climate law. That includes doubling down on toxic facilities like the Greenpoint LNG site, located in the heart of North Brooklyn next to homes, businesses, and playgrounds.

We already pay for this pollution every month through our utility bills. Unless we act, we could be locked into paying billions more for decades of climate damage and health risks.

This spring, National Grid will ask the New York Public Service Commission for permission to raise your utility bills again.

What We’re Fighting For

• Stop the expansion of toxic gas infrastructure
• Cap utility bills at 6% of income
• Retire – not replace – our outdated gas system
• Invest in thermal energy networks, community solar, and efficiency

Next week, leaders from across New York are gathering in Brooklyn for NY-GEO 2026! From financing models to real-world projects, the conference highlights how clean heating solutions can lower energy costs, reduce pollution, and build a more resilient grid.
