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.

I'm so old I remember the Dims encouraging and even forcing some people to switch to "clean burning natural gas".

That was way way back in the Obama days.

They are creating a communist planned economy. It is not up to them to tell us how to heat our homes or cook our food. Communism, plain and simple.

They didn’t stop at gasoline-powered cars. Now it’s natural gas. They are going to force us to die hungry in the cold.

Hohcul is a scary creature with no human warmth.

Where are they going to get the replacement energy? Nuclear power? Oil? Solar (in a place like Buffalo)?
