New York doubles down on war on gas appliances over opposition from unions
Fox News
Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's recently released budget proposal includes provisions to curb the state's reliance on natural gas over labor unions' objections.
"The Affordable Gas Transition Act would not force any existing customers to get rid of their gas service," a spokesperson for Hochul told Fox News Digital. "Governor Hochul continues to prioritize the health and safety of New Yorkers by reducing harmful emissions and ensuring all New Yorkers have continued access to affordable and reliable utility service." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
But, if passed by the state's legislature, Hochul's budget would require utilities to provide incentives encouraging customers to adopt green alternatives, pushing them to discontinue existing gas service.
