Lawmakers in New York are gearing up to enact legislation that would prohibit gas stoves from being used in new buildings, including new single-family homes and new commercial properties.
Despite pushback from some Republicans over the state's proposal, as well as Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm's declaring Thursday that "there's no ban on gas stoves" at a federal level, New York lawmakers are poised to pass the legislation barring the use of certain gas-related utilities in new homes.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, offered support for a ban of fossil fuel-based heating equipment during her State of the State address in January.
Hochul offered support for a ban of fossil fuel-based heating equipment during her State of the State address in January. The governor proposed abolishing the sale of gas-powered appliances and banning their installation in new buildings by 2025.Should it pass, the proposal would not apply to existing homes that use gas stoves or other gas-powered appliances. However, the state's climate plan could take such steps in the future.
The backlash from Republicans over a potential ban on gas stoves came earlier this year after it was reported the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission planned to act on the appliances because the pollutants can cause respiratory and health issues.— Agency Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg at the time.
