Remember 2023 when we passed the All-Electric Building Act? Well now that law is part of the NYS Building Code! Starting in 2026, most new homes in NY must be all-electric. Safer, cleaner and less expensive! What's not to love?! ⚡🔌🏠

The building sector is New York's largest greenhouse gas emitter.

Thank you @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social and @lizkrueger.bsky.social for working tirelessly to pass this common sense legislation! We are grateful for your leadership and tenacity! We urge @governor.ny.gov
to sign S.8417/A.8888 into law without delay!

Thrilled this bill passed! Utility companies shouldn’t have a blank check to expand polluting gas pipelines & force NYers to pay for it. This isn’t everything we hoped for, but it's a step toward a healthier & more affordable NY. TY to
@lizkrueger.bsky.social & the outstanding advocates.

New utility programs are proving that smart planning can lower costs, create jobs, and cut emissions.

To fix this, lawmakers must pass the NY HEAT Act — common-sense legislation to allow for a true “all-of-the-above” approach to energy by ending the “gas mandate” and putting money back into New Yorkers’ wallets.

Maintaining New York’s existing gas heating system is becoming increasingly more expensive, but our laws act as a mandate that locks people into gas even when there are more affordable options available.
