Deliverables

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo directed energy regulators to subsidize three unprofitable nuclear power plants to help meet the state’s climate goals. The bailout is estimated to cost $7.6 billion over 12 years, paid for with increases to New Yorkers’ electric bills. The money goes to plant owner and Fortune 100 company Exelon. Environmental champions Food & Water Watch and New York Public Interest Research Group hired Fenton to launch and run Stop the Cuomo Tax, a campaign to get Gov. Cuomo to abandon the bailout and build a real clean energy plan.

The website had a legislative focus to advance the campaign in Albany by putting the call-to-action front and center.
