"Democrats leading the New York City Council voted Wednesday to ban new construction buildings from having natural gas hookups. The bill, which will now make its way to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s desk for signature, bans fossil fuels in any new construction building.  As reported by The Federalist, it passed 40 to 7 and would go into effect in 2023 for buildings under seven stories. All buildings would have to abide by the law by 2027."

"New construction buildings would have to use energy sources other than oil or natural gas for heating, cooking and water, meaning they’d likely use electricity instead."

"Joe Borrelli, the Republican minority leader of the city council who voted against the bill, said the measure would not allow the city to meet its electricity demands."
“To think about how problematic this bill is, nearly every single building in the city of New York would not be able to comply,” he said. “Natural gas has made our city air quality cleaner than it ever was, and abandoning it when our electrical grid can’t sustain this proposal is going to be a real issue.”

Yep. The only thing more common in the universe than hydrogen is stupidity.

This is obviously been done on purpose to crash the economy and provoke us to rebel and bring in the "new age". :negative:

Thankfully, us believers will not be participating in this "new age." :good:

It may be being done deliberately by someone, but probably all the people on the city council do not realize that.  They just think they are helping the environment by being green.  Folks do not know that a lot of electricity comes from coal.
