N.Y. governor proposes first-ever statewide ban on gas hookups in new buildings
|
[Head Topics] As the centerpiece of a multipronged initiative to combat climate change, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed on Wednesday a first-of-its-kind, state-wide ban on natural gas hookups in all new buildings.
While the measure would have to be passed by the state legislature, it already enjoys some support in the state Capitol.“Growing the demand for natural gas is exactly what the world does not need right now,” New York state Sen. Brian Kavanagh, who has sponsored legislation to phase out the use of natural gas in residential and commercial buildings,
told the publication Stateline on Thursday. “If you build buildings that rely on fossil fuels, you are baking in very long-term needs.Kavanaugh, like Hochul and the large majority of members in both chambers of New York’s legislature, is a Democrat. On the other side of the aisle, 20 Republican-dominated states have passed laws preventing local governments from banning fossil fuel infrastructure. headtopics.com
