Media dismissed gas stove bans as right-wing conspiracy.
Democrat-Led New York Takes Bold Step in Climate Change Fight
Gas Stoves Banned in New Buildings Starting 2026
When news spread in January that the Biden administration and left-wing advocates were looking to ban gas appliances in the name of climate change, left-wing media assured their audience that the notion was right-wing gaslighting. Since then, however, Democrat-led cities and states have charged ahead with such bans.
This week, New York’s Democrat-led legislature passed the first statewide ban, prohibiting gas stoves and heating systems in new buildings starting in 2026. San Francisco city regulators voted in March to eliminate gas furnaces and water heaters by 2027.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety commissioner Richard Trumka Jr., who was appointed by President Joe Biden, in January ignited the debate when he signaled that a ban on gas stoves was “on the table.” Later reports revealed that the green energy group behind the push partnered with China to implement an “economy-wide transformation” away from oil and gas. Biden’s Energy Department in February acknowledged that roughly half of gas stoves on the market would not meet its newly proposed appliance regulations, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Since New York passed its ban, the media have taken to praising Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D.) climate initiative. CNN chief climate correspondent Bill Weir said New York’s ban is “one step closer to a world without fossil fuel pollution.”
