Wouldn’t they just have electric heat and stove? I can’t imagine that being the end of the world.
What do you mean by that comment? Are you implying that the uproar over the banning of natural gas is overblown?
You’ve never paid the electric bill for a house heated by electricity in a cold climate, have you?
Especially one that’s not heavily-insulated.
“Wouldn’t they just have electric heat and stove? I can’t imagine that being the end of the world.”
Electric rates in NYC and Long Island are high.
I won't own an electric stove. And I have WOOD heat.
But, I don't live in Noo Yawk, either. And they're not trying to cut off the propane or NG lines in my sweet home Alabama.
WHO is going to retrofit all those NYC buildings???
With electric?
Where are the materials needed???
Where are the new power generation plants???
But if global warming happens, then nobody will need natural gas for heat

The reason developers want to use natural gas is because it is cheaper than electric heat. If electric heat were cheaper, any rational developer would use it. So the NYC City Council is making the cost of heat, which has to be paid for by poor people, many of whom are “of color”, higher. They are intentionally making poor people even poorer. And those same people pay the salaries of the idiotic leaders who are making them poorer ON PURPOSE.
