De Blasio also took time out during the event to voice opposition to a controversial natural gas pipeline that would run from New Jersey to Queens.
“The Williams pipeline will take a bad situation and make it worse," de Blasio said Monday. "I am here to say no — no to the Williams pipeline.”“This is about a bill that was passed by the City Council that is very clear and serious about the consequences for building owners who do not comply with the law,” de Blasio said.
Council Member Costa Constantinides, who was present Monday, introduced a new version of the bill in late 2018 that finally mustered enough support to pass the full Council last month. The bill will require buildings to cut their emissions 40 percent by 2030 by either purchasing renewable energy or making energy efficiency upgrades. De Blasio has not signed the bill, but it automatically becomes law on May 17.
