<U+0001F6A8>This is welcome news from the Ninth Circuit, ruling municipalities (and likely states) cannot BAN natural gas hookups because it violates federal law. New York needs a plan, not a ban! #RescueNY https://t.co/cB1WlRdXyE

Breaking: NYS is cold in the winter. Most New Yorkers drive their cars to work and use fuel to heat their homes. This new tax adding 55¢ a gallon to hardworking residents’ gas bills and increasing the costs to heat their homes by 25% is just the latest nonsense out of Albany. https://t.co/ekTOE215eT
The Governor is letting a fringe minority decide the future of our state. A ban on natural gas or gas appliances is a product of the most radical voices in Albany dragging us in the wrong direction. Please share your thoughts on a gas ban below<U+0001F4AC><U+0001F447> https://t.co/UalIXs0VmE https://t.co/3JUecIbgtD
RETWEET<U+0001F504> if you would like some answers from Albany as to who is paying<U+0001F4B0> for the proposed ban on natural gas and gas appliances and how our already burdened electrical grid is supposed to handle going 100% electric<U+26A1><U+FE0F>.
One thing is for certain after #BuffaloBlizzard2022 <U+2013> banning reliable, affordable sources of energy is a reality our state, and our residents, simply cannot afford at this time. An <U+201C>all-electric<U+201D> grid powered by fickle energy sources would<U+2019>ve made this an even bigger disaster.
Our electrical grid is NOT equipped to suddenly handle a move to all-electric. Banning gas stoves and appliances would be detrimental to the power grid and is just not feasible. SIGN our petition if you agree NO to the gas ban! https://t.co/SE3aTEp7gS https://t.co/WuLtMkIWtK
Some politicians in Albany care more about scoring cheap political points than helping the people we serve. The bottom line is natural gas saves lives, especially here in WNY where we just got through a historic blizzard that left many with no power<U+26A1><U+FE0F>. https://t.co/RIZZjq8ZfW
"Decades away from meeting goals... It’s simply burning billions, slamming consumers, and undermining reliable energy capacity in pursuit of a fantasy."💯 The politicians who control Albany are destroying our economy and affordability by chasing nonsense. https://t.co/XO777ims2P
Unfortunately, it isn't only gas stoves they are targeting, they want to get rid of your other gas-powered utilities as well! Tell them NO by <U+270D><U+FE0F> our petition right now: https://t.co/SE3aTEp7gS https://t.co/d8vXF9bDVO
As per usual, this ban has no basis in reality and will only drive UP<U+0001F4C8> energy costs for millions of New York families. We have an affordability crisis in our state which is driving folks out and this will only make it 10x worse. #RescueNY https://t.co/MthrzzgL5f
