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.
Please note that between 2007 and 2017, the Air Quality Scores for all NYC Boroughs changed from "F" to "A." This change, which also saved hundreds of lives annually, was largely because of the Clean Heat program and associated efforts. See: http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/15/1/117 …pic.twitter.com/3La0Iurzq0

This doesn’t look at the cumulative impacts of fracking regionally, and these results don’t include all particulate matter, and don’t include radon. It’s easy to give NYC a “Good job A+” sticker when we’re looking through a narrow scope.

I'll accept an "A" from the American Lung Association as indication that banning #6 bunker fuel was a good thing. The reality is that anything more aggressive was simply not possible eight years ago. We have much more work to do. Clean Heat was only one step on very long journey.
