New York on Verge of Being First State to Ban Natural Gas – By Luca Cacciatore (Newsmax) / April 28, 2023

Natural gas may become a fuel of the past — at least in New York. And more than gas stoves will be discontinued, with New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul agreeing to a deal with Democratic lawmakers that would bar natural gas statewide.

The preliminary deal, the New York Post reported, would mandate all new buildings under seven stories to be fully electric by 2026. Larger structures would be affected in 2029, and it’s part of a wider $229 billion spending plan.

“Everyone knows we’ve seen the effects of climate change, the storms, the hurricanes coming to New York, record snow amounts,” Hochul told reporters Thursday. “Our budget prioritizes nation-leading climate action that meets this moment with ambition and the commitment it demands.”
