Vote Abbey Laurel-Smith for Mayor NYC this general election

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2025 / New York City is a big producer waste, and probably the biggest in the world. The city collect wastes, recycle what could be recycled, crush the rest and then bury them in a landfill hoping they'll dissolve into and organic matter in the nearest future.

Well, if elected Mayor, city of New York this coming general election in November, I want to put an end to this practice of burying wastes - toxic or not, in landfills. And my reason for wanting to do so is because of the danger these buried wastes pose to underground water bed and resources.

At the same time, I am not wrecking ball. I am a re-constructionist of General Grant's mode, style and belief. And as a creative deconstructionist, I don't destroy institutions or take apart institutional practices - if I don't have a better replacement.

In this case, I plan to build waste to energy plants with HVDC transmitters, micro grids and energy storage systems all over the city. These plants will burn all collected trash and solid wastes and convert them to cheap heat and electricity for homes though out the city. Fumes from these thermal furnaces will not be allowed into the atmosphere. They will be collected, compressed and used to make other green and environmentally friendly materials.

I proposed this energy option and grid conversion twelve years ago - as a Mayoral candidate in 2013, just after Mayor Michael Bloomberg left office. My proposal hasn't gone out of fashion. It is much needed now, so, I'm proposing it again. I believe a system like this is not only safer for the city to maintain and operate, it is also a perfect fit for bringing down cost of living for New Yorkers'.

And unlike the current system, this waste to energy system, doesn't rely on gas, fuel and nuclear power sources to keep up with providing power for the city's vastly growing population. No. It doesn't runs on aging gas main lines - made with cast iron and unprotected steel that are actively releasing methane into the atmosphere in the city. No. It is powered by heat from burning wastes collected from everywhere all over the city.

We are at a time where temperatures are getting hotter than ever. Heat waves during summer periods are becoming unbearable. Better protection of our grid system from the effect of weather as well as how gas and methane emmission impact our lean biodiversity and fragile green habitat is imperative.

And building waste to energy plants for the city, requires building a satellite of smaller network of grids - all of which will be placed on an HVDC platform for better performance, better security from extreme weather as well as faster delivery of direct and undisrupted energy to homes, government buildings and businesses.

With a safer and a more sustainable energy for the future, we will have our own share of cleaner air and won't need to levy a congestion charge on anyone coming to work or visiting the city.

At the end of the day, New Yorkers will not only be getting a very much reduced electricity and heat bill, we'll have direct current system that will move electric vehicle manufacturers in the direction of creation a magnetic induction charge technology for EV's.

This one out of many ways that I plan to ReBuildNewYorkCity and turn it into a safe, secure and sustainable place, where living costs, rates, rents are lowered, and city's productive identity revived and energized by technology.

My name is Abbey Laurel-Smith. And as an Independent candidate, I put New Yorkers first before politics. I have no party doctrine to follow apart from public safety and general well being of all. As said many times before, you can always trust me to ReBuildNewYorkCity and lead the city in a new direction.

A vote for me is a vote for a better life!"
