Gov. Hochul wants to start banning gas stoves in new homes by 2025 – but critics say she’s full of hot air.
The pushback is targeting Hochul’s personal use of fossil fuels on gas ranges at the Executive Mansion in Albany and at her private pad in Buffalo.
“The governor’s push to ban gas stoves appears to be as hypocritical as it is ridiculous,” Assembly Minority Leader William Barclay (R-Fulton) fumed.
“One has to wonder how many times she’s fired up her own gas stove since declaring them environmentally unsafe in her State of the State Address,” he added.
In two years, new smaller buildings will no longer be allowed to have gas hook-ups under the proposal unveiled by Hochul earlier this month - with the ban extending to larger buildings under construction by 2028.
Hochul has argued the state must push electrification mandates for new buildings in order to implement plans to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 85% compared with 1990 levels as required by a 2019 state law championed by Albany Democrats.
Critics say the gas stoves at the Executive Mansion - and the range documented in Hochul’s social media feeds - belie Hochul’s stated aim to confront climate change.

There's more - The governor hit the friendly skies, either on a state helicopter or airplane, a whopping 140 times in the first seven months since she took office last August - with costs to taxpayers estimated at upwards of $170,000, records reviewed by The Post show.

Democrat, the party for thee but not for me.
Gas for me...
None for thee....
I’m an elite....
Can’t ya see...
These libs can all go pound sand where the sun don’t shine.....
C word.
Not covid....
These types of things absolutely INFURIATE me. They pass a law or some regulatory body creates a reg and then they act that those laws and regs are more sacrosanct than the tablets that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai. They are nothing but man-made laws and regs that result from buying into a global warming CULT.
Just get some common sense, observe that there IS NO man-made climate change, and repeal the laws and revoke the regs.
Their only standard is a double one.
Our only standard should be their execution.
“These types of things absolutely INFURIATE me.”
Me too...WHITE HOT INFURIATE! I go ballistic whenever I hear some moron even mention “climate change/global warming”! Total hoax for wicked ends.
Has anybody told her where ‘electricity’ comes from?
The Vanguard of the Proletariat must have accommodations in order to carry out their difficult leadership tasks.
Another communist plot so China gets all the gas
I hope she gets gas.
You're missing three letters at the end of the sentence.
She just identified her gas stove as electric.
Being a socialist tyrant never means having to deal with your double standards and hypocrisy.
