Gas ban to hurt NYC consumers, advocacy group claims
New York City consumers could face “astronomical” costs as a result of a proposal to ban natural gas hookups to new buildings by 2030, an advocacy group said March 17.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in his State of the City address in January said the city would ban new fossil fuel connections to new construction by at least 2030.
