Despite fierce criticism of plans, both rumored and proposed, to ban gas stoves from future buildings, members of the New York state legislature are preparing to enact the nation’s first legislative ban on fossil fuel-burning appliances.
Despite fierce criticism of plans, both rumored and proposed, to ban gas stoves from future buildings, members of the state legislature are preparing to enact the nation’s first legislative ban on fossil fuel-burning appliances.Prohibited appliances wouldn’t be limited to stoves, as Gov. Kathy Hochul and other Democrats are embracing restrictions on other household items that burn fossil fuels, including furnaces, water heaters, and clothes dryers.
The proposal to end the use of the various appliances is in the state budget lawmakers will consider at the end of March. By passing a law preventing new buildings from installing gas stoves, New York would take the measures enacted by California and Washington to the next level. Those states have already started to crack down on fossil fuel-burning appliances via building codes.
