I was aware that most of the replacement was of #6 bunker oil. For the record, both #6 bunker & #2 heating oil are "fuel oils." And yes, #6 bunker is a terrible fuel (NYC never should have allowed it). But the point remains that natural gas also needs to be replaced, and soon.https://twitter.com/bobwyman/status/1234138174982623232 …
Even while fighting for the 2012 Clean Heat Law, I warned that the next step must be to replace the "cleaner" oil and gas with heat pumps. I've spent every day since then working on precisely that goal. The path to success is not a straight line. Replacing #6 was just first step.

We also engaged in NYCCleanHeat to replace #6 w spent cooking oil instead of converting to fracked gas. This was during the fight w Spectra in the WVillage. Bloomberg was mayor and totally invested in fracked gas, and why NYC is paying out the nose for more pipelines today.

Kim, Local Law 43-2010 required that all oil used in New York City must contain at least 2% biodiesel -- which could come from cooking oil. There isn't enough cooking oil to replace all of the oil used for heating in New York City. https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/View.ashx?M=F&ID=1046686&GUID=169A171F-64A1-4934-BFDA-74E331D17B00 …
