NY Governor Proposes Statewide Ban on Gas Heating

On January 10, Kathy Hochul, governor of New York State, advocated phasing out sales of fossil-fuel heating equipment in the state as part of her annual State of the State address. The proposals would keep New York State on track with the targets set in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a state law passed in 2019 that requires the state cut its climate emissions according to a strict timeline.
