The end of “fossil” fuels is the end of civilization.
The flight of businesses to exit NYC will be. Huge. The value of property will fall and you will see many empty buildings that might never. Be full again. This liberal insanity will be the end of the big apple.
How will the electric grid handle the increased usage of electric power?
A lot of electric is generated by Natural gas power plants. They will be going away too.
Liberal insanity
Say hello to 800$ dollar a month electric bills.
Every new build will have to install a 400a service.

Corporate Headquarters will leave the state of NY. Would love to see the NYSE leave and go to Florida or Nashville.
It is all about punishing Americans.
The Paris Accord, climate bullish!t and now banning natural gas.
All of China cooks with gas. Not one word about them.
The people in charge want Americans to suffer terribly.
No accounting for mass stoopidness!
Someone should point out to Albany the connection between natural gas and full synthetic motor oil. Watch the fun ensue! NY is so screwed.
>> Hochul announced that New York will soon be the first state to ban natural gas
One Hell of an accomplishment!
What’s next, summer BBQ?
NYS needs to “Frack, Baby, Frack”.
Otherwise they are LOST.
Let them freeze.
Great! While China and India built 400 NEW coal fired power plants during last 12 months, which is cheapest source of energy except hydro power.
This puts American businesses at bigger competitive disadvantage, using most expensive source of energy...green energy.
Gov Hokum trying to emulate The Jackal and turn NY into a California.
A Citizens initiative to Amend the State constitution Banning the use of Taxpayer Funds to purchase any “fossil fuel” for the purpose of Cooking, Heating,Transportation, or Electricity generation, would go along way to help out.
It seems as if blue states like New York and California are bound and determined to completely ruin themselves. The rest of us need to be just as bound and determined that they will not take the rest of us with them.
What about gas pipelines that goes through the state? Going to ban them?
Go ahead and ban it in existing buildings as well. If it is that dangerous to use for new buildings it makes no sense to keep it in the old buildings - order it fully phased out within 5 years. If it is a good idea, it is a good idea, right?
Remember this:
Buffalo, NY Christmas Blizzard 2022:
3 to 4 feet on snow, wind gusts up to 79 mph; sub-zero wind chills.
At it’s peak, over 58,000 people without power in the Buffalo area alone.
Pop Quiz: How did these people not freeze to death during this period?
ANS: It’s being banned in New York State.
If this didn’t start an insurrection then nothing will.
Years ago for a little while I lived in upstate New York, a little south of Cooperstown.
This was in the late 80’s and most people as I remember heated with not only wood but propane.
Houses had a connection for installing large propane tanks on the outside of their homes.
I’m talking propane tanks that were about five foot tall.
I’m sure the folks up there are going to love this.
But hey, most of them voted for this.
