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 …

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 …
