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:
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.

Absolutely backward, regressive nonsense.
But part for the course.
By the way -- in case you're wondering -- Kathy Hochul still has a gas stove. And a gas connection.
How aggravating. The left is all about power and control.

Incredibly aggravating.
If a landlord did this it would be illegal.

It sure would be. They'd face civil and possibly criminal penalties for it.
She turned in off? No attrition? This is illegal! You can't have people not able to cook food. They won't even allow loans on homes without proper cooking and refrigeration. How is this legal? What if you have kids?

It's legal because government says so.
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.

Funny story: when this writer bought a house, it was staged with furniture and appliances. Including an electric stove. During the final walkthrough, the staged furniture and appliances had been removed (which was expected). What was not expected was for this writer and her realtor to -- on their final pre-closure walkthrough -- find that the kitchen wasn't equipped for an electric stove.
Which this writer and then-husband had purchased.
It cost a pretty penny to put it in.
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.
WHAT?!? She turned off your gas stove?!?

😳😳😳😳
It gets worse, believe it or not:
All NatGas in the building…including the gas dryers in the laundry room.
— David Asman (@DavidAsmanfox) September 20, 2024
So you can't cook or dry your clothing.
This is the future Democrats want for us. And we're not joking.
Pretend I’m a five year old Amish girl, and explain how it’s legal for a GOVERNOR to turn off natural gas to an apartment building (that she doesn’t own)??! 🫤😑 https://t.co/kmIIOUYc0f

Because reasons.

As we said above, he's technically able to keep his gas stove. It's just useless.

Turns out that was a lie.
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. https://t.co/ZMrdxc3VF4
Exactly.
We can't trust them.

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 https://t.co/80V1VBRJ5d
They don't care about the middle class. Destroying us and our standard of living is their primary objective.
