Panic Sets In with NY’s 2026 Deadline Banning NatGas in New Homes

In January 2023, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, an extremist, floated a plan to ban natural gas hookups in every single new home and business across the “Empire” State (see NY Gov. Hochul Loses Her Mind – Wants to Ban Gas in New Buildings). She even wanted to ban gas in existing homes, but that was too much to stomach even for NY’s leftwing Democrats (see New York Legislators Block Hochul NatGas Ban for Existing Homes). As part of the 2023-2024 budget deal, Hochul got her way (see NY State has Fallen – Gas Stoves & Peaker Plants Banned in Budget). So now, beginning in 2026, new homes (or businesses) in New York State will not be allowed to connect to an existing natural gas pipeline system. You will be banned from installing a gas (or propane) stove in the house. It's complete madness, and people are starting to push back and push back hard.
