New York Gov. Hochul announces plans to ban gas heating in new homes, buildings constructed in next few years

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."

So when the power goes out, you’re SOL with respect to hot water and cooking ... completely dependent on electricity.

My gas fired on-demand water heater still requires 120 volts to run the mother board.

Simple solution:
Americans will be forced to eat unevenly cooked fast food.
Stolen elections will do that.

I notice that you received a conservative education, lately. Pass your knowledge on to others.

It’s not a recent education. I think I’ve been conservative my whole life, with a few slight libertarian leanings due to my ultra conservative upbringing, and some of those *rules* don’t make good sense. They were someone else’s rules, in my book. Not necessarily God’s rules. Read between the lines if you have to.

The Dimwit upstate NY actually wants the people who pay taxes to leave New York State. It just leaves you speechless.

These people are actively trying to make people poorer.

Mrs. Hochul: The biggest threat to our children and grandchildren are your criminal party’s policies. Not imaginary Climate Change.
