Kathy Hochul (D.) \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>New York Governor Kathy Hochul is making waves with her latest announcement: a push to make her state the first in the nation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-council-votes-to-ban-natural-gas-in-new-buildings\/\" title=\"NYC Council Votes To Ban Natural Gas in New Buildings\">ban natural gas<\/a> in new buildings. In a recent budget agreement, Hochul declared that new buildings must be &#8220;zero emissions&#8221; starting in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Leading the Way in Climate Action<\/h3>\n<p><span>If the budget passes, natural gas appliances will be banned in new small buildings by 2025 and large buildings by 2028. &#8220;Our budget prioritizes nation-leading climate action that meets this moment with ambition and the commitment it demands,&#8221; Hochul said during a speech at the State Capitol in Albany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hochul&#8217;s announcement comes just months after she and Democrats in the state legislature pledged support for the controversial policy. &#8220;We are taking these steps now because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-biden-claims-kentucky-tornado-linked-to-climate-change\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Biden Claims Kentucky Tornado Linked to 'Climate Change'\">climate change remains<\/a> the greatest threat to our planet, and to our children and grandchildren,&#8221; Hochul said in January.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding Gas Stove Bans<\/h3>\n<p><span>It\u2019s the latest move by Democrats to ban the use of natural gas and the appliances that rely on it. The Biden administration&#8217;s Energy Department is also advancing regulations that would effectively ban roughly half of gas stoves on the market from being sold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-governor-announces-progress-in-push-to-ban-natural-gas-in-new-buildings\/\" title=\"New York Governor Announces Progress in Push To Ban Natural Gas in New Buildings\">controversy surrounding gas stove bans kicked<\/a> off in January, when a Biden-appointed commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Richard Trumka Jr., floated banning gas stoves, citing a study by an environmental group that attributed 13 percent of U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blue-cities-move-ahead-with-gas-stove-bans\/\" title=\"Blue Cities Move Ahead With Gas Stove Bans\">childhood asthma cases<\/a> to gas stoves. Scientists later criticized the study. Facing backlash, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden would not support such a ban. The Washington Free Beacon reported in January that the group behind the now-infamous study worked with the Chinese government to push &#8220;an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meet-the-green-energy-group-behind-the-study-thats-driving-calls-to-ban-gas-stoves\/\" title=\"Meet the Green Energy Group Behind the Study That's Driving Calls To Ban Gas Stoves\">economy-wide transformation<\/a>&#8221; away from gas and oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Climate Activists Demand Change in Terminology<\/h3>\n<p><span>Climate activists not only want gas banned, but also argue the administration must change how it refers to the substance. A climate group recently demanded the Biden administration stop using the term &#8220;natural gas&#8221; because it sounds too climate friendly. The group, Gas Leaks, suggested saying &#8220;fossil gas&#8221; or &#8220;methane gas&#8221; instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Gov.
