ALBANY, New York — John Howard is no longer on the state Public Service Commission. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to stop talking about the state’s rocky road toward meeting its climate goals.
Howard, whose term expired in February, has been an outspoken member of the powerful, seven-member board since being appointed in July 2019.
He left the commission in April after his seat was filled by one of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s first nominees to the influential utility regulator.

He leaves feeling that the work is unfinished, in large part because of the challenges facing New York’s efforts to move to 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and its other climate goals.
