Methane is a far more potent greenhouse\par gas than carbon dioxide -- 86 more times as potent over a 20-year time\par frame. For this reason, the definition of "clean energy"\par sources must not include natural gas. We cannot transition away from\par fossil fuels by simply swapping out one for another.\par \par To end our reliance on fossil fuels, REV must include a firm commitment\par to extending the state's renewable energy target to ensure that a\par minimum of 50% of our energy comes from renewable sources by 2025. We\par also must set a target to reduce our overall electricity use by at\par least 20% by 2025.\par \par Further, utility companies must not dominate the process or the system.\par Markets must be overseen by an independent statewide institution, not\par large utility companies who have little or no accountability to New\par Yorkers.
