Welcome to New Yorkifornia
Man. In case New Yorkers needed any more cheerful news besides crime rates, taxes and the nails-on-a-blackboard voice of the creature they actually elected governor, there’s more fun in the pipeline. Sometime this month Kathy Hochul is going to get a piece of legislation that has the potential to make the next big Buffalo blow look like a sequel to Snowpiercer.NY’s 22 member Climate Action Council (that should be enough to send chills down a sane person’s spine) has been collecting “public comment” on the long-awaited scoping document they released a year ago. The gist of which is pretty radical in itself.
The CAC’s implementation plan calls for eliminating the use of fossil fuels, including natural gas, oil and propane in any new home construction by 2025. For multi-family homes and commercial buildings, fossil fuels would be prohibited by 2030.…New York’s 22-member Climate Action Council has released its long-awaited blueprint for how the state can achieve the requirements of the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, or CLCPA.
The CLCPA mandates that New York reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) statewide by 40% by 2030. By the same year, the law mandates that 70% of all electricity generated in New York be renewable.
…“A third of the greenhouse gas emissions in the state are coming from heating our homes and our buildings,” Howarth explained. “So we need to move away from fossil fuels and we need to do so aggressively. We need to take up beneficial electrification.”
The plan also calls for an ambitious retrofitting of existing homes.
“We’ve got 6 million homes in this state that need to be retrofitted, so that’s a challenge,” Howarth said.
