Bye-bye blue flame? NY to require gas-free new buildings

Associated Press  

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York state is banning natural gas stoves and furnaces in most new buildings, a policy that’s part of a national movement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When the phase-in starts in 2026, newly constructed buildings will have to forego fossil fuel equipment in favor of devices like induction ranges and heat pumps that run on electricity. The new construction mandate avoids — at least for now — the more politically fraught issue of replacing existing fossil fuel equipment. The focus on new construction — instead of existing buildings — is seen as a logical first step to meet broader emissions reduction goals.
