New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, during her state of the state address Monday, announced plans to ban gas heating on the construction of new buildings over the next several years.
Speaking to the state legislature in Albany, Hochul acknowledged soaring energy costs foot by homeowners and renters across the state, indirectly citing the Russia-Ukraine war in remarking on the "geopolitical forces outside our control but hitting our wallets right here at home."
Arguing the homes in New York are some of the oldest in the nation, leaving them poorly insulated, the governor, elected to her first full term in November after taking over the helm from disgraced predecessor Andrew Cuomo, said buildings are the largest source of greenhouse emissions in the state, accounting for one third of our greenhouse gas output.
"I’m proposing a plan to end the sale of new fossil powered heating equipment by 2030 by calling for construction of – all new construction needs to be zero emission – starting in 2025 for small buildings and 2028 for large buildings," Hochul said. "And we’re taking these steps now because climate change remains the greatest threat to our planet but also to our children and our grandchildren."

Moron!
Where does she think the power will come from?
**********
She doesn’t care. Liberals never think in terms of consequences.
“I remember the Dims encouraging and even forcing some people to switch to “clean burning natural gas”.”
Before natural gas there was coal gas which is nastier than natural gas. Look up Coal Gas in wikipedia.
California is trying to do the same, saying it causes asthma in children.
"The power went out? That means the cameras don't work! So no one will be able to document how these BLM rioters got shot? Sometimes our police work is absolutely thankless. Heh-heh."
What is she a king? You can’t ban squat you old hypocrite.
The last one to leave New York, please turn off the lights.
Frozen Democrats!
"I just don't get it. We got rid of natural gas and the rates for asthma went up! And to top it off, the pneumonia rates have skyrocketed! What is going on??"
She has a comprehensive plan.
NYers will be moving into igloos.
Violent crime will go down because it’s hard to fire a gun wearing ski mittens.
“All the restaurants the elites frequent use gas stoves that they leave on on a continuous basis. There is no way the government will force them to replace gas fueled stoves because that would take away their privileged gourmet meals.”
***
Exactly right. Liberal elite chefs love their gas stoves.
What happens when electricity goes out?
The WEF’s latest ploy to end run around public knowledge that “manmade climate change” is BS. Now they’re playing the “Its for the children” BS excuse. This is probably one of the reasons that Klaus was in DC late last year.
Time to invest in the old wood burning stoves keeps house warm and in the summer patios wood burning grill and nuker oven.
Get the hell out of that state!
They voted for and deserve to freeze in the winter like they did in the recent storm. Hard to find a tear drop over here.
They’re slowly finding out with these EV cars.
I think rigged elections particularly in the urban centers of the North East have been going on like forever. Can anyone say Tammany Hall?
