New York bans flame stove
Burning natural gas releases significant amounts of methane, which contributes to climate change. With that, activists engaged in the environment defend the ban on gas stoves in new buildings in New York as an important step to reduce the carbon footprint of the state
The measure is part of the state's commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2050, as the construction of new residential buildings using gas appliances and heating still add 250,000 metric tons of pollution per year.
The new law's impacts on home kitchens in New York will be minimal and gradual. Despite the concerns raised, the ban on gas appliances will only apply to new buildings residential buildings by 2026, and in taller residential buildings by 2029, not affecting homes or buildings already existing.
That way, homes that already have gas appliances won't need to change anything, and many kitchens will still have gas stoves for those who have preferred to cook that way for decades. Little by little, the preference for induction cookers will become normal for the population of New York.
