[Head Topics] As the centerpiece of a multipronged initiative to combat climate change, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed on Wednesday a first-of-its-kind, state-wide ban on natural gas hookups in all new buildings.
While the measure would have to be passed by the state legislature, it already enjoys some support in the state Capitol.“Growing the demand for natural gas is exactly what the world does not need right now,” New York state Sen. Brian Kavanagh, who has sponsored legislation to phase out the use of natural gas in residential and commercial buildings,
told the publication Stateline on Thursday. “If you build buildings that rely on fossil fuels, you are baking in very long-term needs.Kavanaugh, like Hochul and the large majority of members in both chambers of New York’s legislature, is a Democrat. On the other side of the aisle, 20 Republican-dominated states have passed laws preventing local governments from banning fossil fuel infrastructure. headtopics.com

She's a serious dingbat. It's one thing to be a quota hire. It's quite another to employ other quota hires. No one can remove her from the Naval Observatory before 2024. Why isn't she employing the best people for the job rather than a bunch of quota-determined tenth stringers like herself? None of her staff is gonna to challenge her for the post of heir apparent to Biden.
