The Debate Over Gas Stove Bans: A Look at New York's Bold Move.

Most Senate Democrats voted against an amendment pitched by Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) that would have restricted gas stove bans during negotiations over the bipartisan infrastructure bill in 2021. The amendment would have limited grant funds from the bill going to new building codes that restricted or prohibited the use of natural gas. On Wednesday, New York became the first state to ban natural gas after Gov. Hochul struck a budget deal with Democratic supermajorities in the state legislature to prevent all new buildings under seven stories from having gas hookups by 2026.
