New York just banned gas stoves and all natural gas in new buildings ... but I was told this wasn't happening

You know a few months back when all of those wacky, conspiratorial conservatives came up with that baseless accusation that the Democrats were coming for your gas stoves?

What ignorant and stupid rubes!

Well, would you look at that?

New York State, starting in 2026, is going to ban gas stoves and heat from almost all new buildings.

They're doing this, of course, to fight the evil sun monster that's causing the earth to heat up.

It's not happening.

Actually, it is happening and it's a good thing.

That's the pattern you see (sometimes with a few extra steps) over and over and over again.

The Right's "slippery slope" and "conspiracies" always come true.

This is a good example of why I love being called a “crazy conspiracy theorist”.

These days it is hard to create a conspiracy crazy enough that the left won’t turn it into reality.

It’s ridiculous. NYS is rich in natural gas. Right now, they’re converting farm lands into solar farms....never to grow food again. Total insanity

The owner of the Buffalo Bills (the only NFL team that plays in New York State), made his fortune off fracking natural gas (in Pennsylvania). If it wasn’t for that evil gas, the team would now be called the Toronto Bills. The same state that hates natural gas is footing $1 Billion to build that team a new stadium in Buffalo. I am just trying to unpack all of that.

NY State sits on its share of the Marcellus Shale formation, which is one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world. Below that is the Utica Shale formation and more natural gas. NY banned fracking years ago. Most of their natural gas is delivered by pipeline from other states, primarily Pennsylvania. NY could be energy self sufficient and a net exporter of energy, but they have chosen to be the opposite.

Heat pumps do not work well in this: (That's Buffalo, NY by the way.)

New Yorkers are imbeciles.

“New York State, starting in 2026, is going to ban gas stoves and heat from almost all new buildings.”

Methinks there won’t be a helluva lot of new building in York...for a whole host of reasons.

Surrounding states should burrow under the York state line and suck all their resources out for use by normal Americans.

Here’s the big problem: electric stoves run on gas-fired power stations. Those will have to be banned, too. Result: no stoves.

Two things:
1.) New York refuses to exploit its’ Marcellus Shale reserves, or to build pipelines to bring gas from other states that aren’t so stupid.

2. Nat-gas is the only fuel left that can power peak-load generation plants to feed the NY grid. During winter cold snaps the demand will soon exceed supply even without new construction. (see #1).

New York State has to ban natural gas hookups because the gas main infrastructure is so old and decayed and they can't afford to fix it.

They're citing "globull warming" because if they told the truth about the decayed infrastructure, the bond ratings for municipalities across the state would drop.

The gas providers CAN afford to fix it and have tried but NY told them no, Cuomo in particular.

So NY is forcing us to rely on the electrical infrastructure which is just bad a shape and will never handle the increased demand. Hell they can’t keep the power on NOW.

Our rulers hate us and want us to freeze and starve.
