Gov. Hochul’s $229 billion budget is devastating for taxpayers, businesses, and consumers, especially the inclusion of a ban on natural gas as part of her $5 billion “Green New Deal” initiative.
Beginning in 2026, newly constructed residential buildings will be required to only use electricity for heating and cooking, making New York the first state to impose such a ban.
Gov. Hochul is forcing New Yorkers out into the cold by banning natural gas.
This ban will make utilities unaffordable, drive up food and energy costs, fail to impact climate change, and cost hardworking New Yorkers their jobs.
Gov. Hochul’s "Green New Deal" will have adverse consequences on New York’s economy.
Her natural gas ban prioritizes progressive policies and punishes consumers and taxpayers.
For her harmful, unnecessary, and costly ban on natural gas, Gov. Hochul is an obvious choice for CAGW’s May 2023 Porker of the Month.
