New York Becomes First State to Pass Legislation Banning Use of Natural Gas for Heating and Cooking

The Biden Regime said reports claiming they were seeking to ban gas stoves was a conspiracy theory.

Chuck Schumer went out of his way to chastise those concerned saying, “Nobody is taking away your gas stove.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that earlier this year, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said gas-powered stoves are a ‘hidden health hazard.’

Although Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm mocked the millions of Americans concerned about the federal government’s plans to put restrictions on gas stoves, she admitted the Biden Regime wants to ban “some” gas stoves.

Now, New York State is banning the use of natural gas for heating and cooking in some new buildings.

According to The New York Times, “The provisions will require new buildings to be constructed with only electric hookups for appliances and utilities beginning in 2025. The law will go into effect for buildings with fewer than seven stories beginning in 2026. The requirements will kick in for taller buildings by 2029.”

"This is where our nation has to go eventually," she said "But I want to make sure that it's not a bumpy road to the transition."

They have to put the noose around your neck before they hang you.

@Budwick If you say so. There's actually no problem with what they're doing. We need to wean ourselves off coal, oil and gas, and renewable sources are becoming cheaper every day.

@SW-User Let it happen naturally AFTER there's something viable.

@Budwick Renewables ARE viable. The age of coal, oil and gas is ending. Fact.

@SW-User No they are not.
California already limits who can charge their car and when.
Infrastructure wont's support.

You can't force some things - you need patience.
