NY Lawmakers Aim to Make Hochul’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Plan Worse

The nightmare we can't wake up from, called New York State, keeps getting darker and worse. In January, Hochul proposed banning the sale of all new natural gas appliances across the state, along with an outright ban on hooking up new homes and businesses to gas, by 2030 (see NY Gov. Hochul Loses Her Mind – Wants to Ban Gas in New Buildings). She also wants to cap so-called greenhouse gas output and require companies to buy “allowances” (i.e., indulgences) for their carbon emissions sins. This is hard to believe, but Democrat legislators are adding new requirements of their own, making it even harder for companies to meet emissions standards, stay under the caps, and/or pay for allowances. The legislature's proposed changes will drive even more companies out of the state.
