- Come 2030, New Yorkers won’t be allowed to replace their gas stoves with new ones if they break down. “As you begin making a transition, everyone will have to switch out appliances,” a state official explained. This is how the left’s green-energy “transition” will work for all things.
- Come 2035, New Yorkers and Californians won’t be able to buy new gasoline-powered cars either....
