Why we checked itSpecific claim that Governor Hochul is directing billions in state funds to foreign corporations, which if inaccurate would be a significant mischaracterization of New York's energy spending
What we foundThere is a factual basis for the claim — New York state contracts with foreign-headquartered energy corporations (e.g., Norwegian Equinor, British BP, Danish Ørsted) worth billions in ratepayer-funded obligations — but the framing that Hochul is personally 'paying billions to foreign corporations' overstates and distorts a more complex energy contracting reality.
