We suppose, technically, New York Governor Kathy Hochul hasn't banned gas stoves. She just prohibits it being used in buildings, so while New Yorkers like David here can't cook with gas, they still own a gas stove.
Checkmate, conservatives!
Or something.
But check out how a guy living in Manhattan -- one of the most expensive cities in the world -- is forced to cook since Hochul cut the gas to his apartment building:
David Asman (@DavidAsmanfox) ~ This is what we’ve been cooking with for the past 6 months. That’s when NY Gov Hochul turned off the NatGas in our building of 150 apts, as she’s doing all over Manhattan to regulate our most efficient, cheap, plentiful form of energy out of existence. We’re going backwards.
By the way -- in case you're wondering -- Kathy Hochul still has a gas stove. And a gas connection.
Dan Keller (@DanTJMAJWC) ~ How aggravating. The left is all about power and control.
g (@GeneMeeting) ~ I'm a retired licensed electrician from NYC. It is expensive to run a new 220-volt power to replace gas/oil appliances, if - and I mean IF - the house or apartment can support the expansion. As an example, an electric stove uses 2 50-amp beakers. Would love to see a study on this.
The point is this: there are going to be a lot of people who can't afford to make the switch from gas to electric.
Hochul -- like all Democrats -- doesn't seem to care, though.
DebMoley (@DeborahMoleswo1) ~ WHAT?!? She turned off your gas stove?!? 😳😳😳😳
It gets worse, believe it or not:
David Asman (@DavidAsmanfox) ~ All NatGas in the building ... including the gas dryers in the laundry room.
So you can't cook or dry your clothing.
This is the future Democrats want for us. And we're not joking.
Stratosfear Tully (@tullyfur) ~ “Nobody is coming for your gas stove.”
US Oil & Gas Association (@US_OGA) ~ "If you like your gas stove You can keep your gas stove."
As we said above, he's technically able to keep his gas stove. It's just useless.
John Ʌ Konrad V (@johnkonrad) ~ Last year, dozens of liberals here assured me they aren’t after our gas stoves. That, was right after they said I was over-reacting about Biden’s cognitive health.
Turns out that was a lie.
Exactly.
We can't trust them.
mark safranski (@zenpundit) ~ The upper middle class green activist war on middle class living standards via their stooges in the Democratic Party. Imagine the governor of your state arbitrarily shutting off the gas to your home to please a gang of wealthy extremists and get a photo op.
They don't care about the middle class. Destroying us and our standard of living is their primary objective.
