This tread refers to what NYS is planning to do about fossil it is from petro home services. Beware This can happen to the people in Florida.
Albany is actively working on plans that would force you to convert your natural gas, heating oil or propane gas heating systems to electric heat pumps as early as 2030, at a cost that could add upwards of $20,000+ per home. They would also artificially inflate the cost of all energy with new carbon taxes or something they call “cap and invest.” They would force you to buy electric cars and trucks no matter how much more they cost or their limitations. And they are planning to outlaw the use of fossil fuels for creating electricity, jeopardizing our electric grid reliability. It could be disastrous for NY families and businesses.
If you disagree with the narrow, untested, and expensive forced electrification path, you need to tell them right now! It is not enough to simply comment on Facebook, or complain to friends. Enter your information and write your own message, or use the preloaded one. In less than a minute, you can let the Governor and your legislators know how you feel before it’s too late.
We need an energy plan that reduces carbon emissions, but which includes traditional fuels that are increasingly renewable and efficient, so we don’t suffer the tremendous costs, disruptions and backlash that their plans will generate.
Tell Albany, You are going too far, too fast! Your message will automatically be sent to the Governor, your state senator and your assembly member, based on your address. Use the provided message or replace it with your own.
I support efforts to fight climate change, but fear that NY is on a path which would create huge financial hardships for my family, and serious problems for the state. If the Climate Action Council's plans are adopted, I would be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars to convert my home to heat pumps, electric stoves, and water heaters. I would be penalized with carbon taxes or surcharges on other fuels. NY's electric rates are already among the highest in the country, and we report the most outages of any state in the Mid-Atlantic. The rapid, untested changes to the electric grid are likely to send electric rates even higher and compromise the resilience of the grid.
I don't believe we have a good enough understanding of the real costs and risks of these plans, and there will be a backlash when their impact is felt. Our path forward should not abandon fuels like natural gas, propane gas and biofuel heating oil, which can get increasingly renewable. We can reduce carbon output significantly without putting all our eggs in one fragile, expensive electric basket.
We are moving too far, too fast, with too much risk and cost. I urge you to support a broader path to a cleaner energy future.
