New York’s All-Electric Building Mandate Sparks Grid Strain, Soaring Power Costs
Draconian 'green' rules are pushing utilities beyond their limits, threatening housing projects and driving up electricity bills.

New York will soon force developers to build new buildings that can only use electricity for temperature control and appliances, which will further strain the state’s electric grid if it’s fully implemented, according to energy policy experts and some state officials. [emphasis, links added]


Starting in January 2026, the “All-Electric Building Act” will require most new buildings to run mainly on electricity and ban gas appliances, with only a few exceptions.

New York utility companies are reportedly struggling to meet the state’s harsh electrification mandate that could worsen existing power shortages if the policy is fully enforced, some energy experts and state officials who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation warned.

Too much juice on wiring means fire hazard increases, too.

Pennies will no longer suffice in the fuse box.  Gonna need Eisenhower Dollars to keep juice flowin through fuse boxes.

Dingbats concurrently mandate increased electricity demand while criminalizing reliable electricity generation.

Dems can't do math and don't understand supply & demand economics.
