These people make sick

[beethovenfan]

Idiots. The effect on “climate change” will be ZERO!!

[adorno]

Do the Darwin awards apply to city governments?

Self-annihilation should qualify for the Darwin awards.

“Leaders of the Democrat-led cities have argued that transitioning away from natural gas would help achieve climate and net-zero ambitions.”

I thought it was to prevent two dozen kids from getting asthma.

[Howie66]

These people piss me off.

[mosaicwolf]

What gives these people the authority to ban the way people cook and heat their homes? Have any laws been passed by the legislature? I guess these communists just think the people will go along with their dictate.

[pollywog]

They are raising our gas prices to where we cannot even afford to leave our heat on right now. I’m turning my heat off during the day and wearing multi layer wraps!
Gas bill projected to be $379 next month... that for only ONE month!!! I live in the outskirts of Los Angeles.

When I see Lurch living in a tent and washing his clothes in a creek, I’ll stop burning tires.

All that New York City did was move the problem out of the criss-cross of the streets to other, more open areas. NYC won't see ANY drop in CO2 emission until they start building nuke plants, geothermal plants, and (still in the dream stage) fusion plants. Wind and solar isn't going to cut the cheese — there isn't enough for the 3D pile that is Manhattan Island.

Here is a good discussion of the benefits of natural gas in NYC and New York State:

The bottom line is this—the poorest people in the city and state are going to suffer the most—and they won’t even know what hit them until it is too late to do anything about it.

[Yo-Yo]

Dangerously misleading headline. Democratic cities aren’t just banning gas stoves, they’re banning all use of Natural Gas in new construction homes and businesses, which includes banning natural gas water heaters and furnaces.

The body of the story correctly explains this, but the headline implies that only gas stoves are being banned.

[Kaiser8408a]

AOC, the insane NY Congressman who looks like a donkey, has considerable influence over woke politicians.

[wetgundog]

Good Bye to restaurants. and FJB when you leave.

[brownsfan]

They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t calculate that the sheep would accept it, and in many cases cheer it.

It’s going to get really, really bad.

[dforest]

Bet those gas stoves will stay in the restaurants where the elites dine at. Gas stoves are too slow and uneven for top chefs to use.

[Pox]

New York City will, sooner or later, crumble due to their asinine politics. The fall should be spectacular.

[Revel]

Two words. “Boston” and “Tea”.

[God luvs America]

I applaud this move. The people in these cities will freeze and they have no one to blame but themselves

[Huskrrrr]

Conspiracy theory. Oh wait.

[lucky american]

Don’t worry. I read this morning that a record number of citizens are moving from NY and California to Florida and Texas. This will just speed up the process.

[Tom Tetroxide]

If you want a gas stove, water heater, or clothes dryer you better move to a red state!
