Didn’t the state just ban gas stoves, too? Are they trying to make electric a monopoly in the city?
Somebody should take a look at Con Edison’s political donations over the past few years…

"All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood- and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality..
I would love to see those studies. I would also love to see who is bitching about wood fired grill aromas.

Illinois says, "Hold my beer."
Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has attained two distinctions since becoming a legislative leader during Ronald Reagan's first term and before personal computers were a thing.
First, the Southwest Side Democrat has become the longest-serving legislative House speaker in American history. Second, he's managed to avoid criminal charges in a state so infamous for its array of political rapscallions that the word "corruption" might be chiseled into the official state credo.
But now Madigan faces an unprecedented and dangerous, new legal threat. On Friday, federal prosecutors sent new grand jury subpoenas to Madigan's offices and made a separate court filing in which utility giant Commonwealth Edison admitted to engaging in bribery to burnish its image with Madigan as it looked to advance a high-stakes Springfield agenda.
The centerpiece of ComEd's corrupt lobbying practices is the manner in which it lavished contracts and subcontracts on Madigan's supporters, dating all the way back to 2011 and lasting through 2019. The feds say that Madigan allies benefiting from ComEd's largesse typically did little to no work for the power company.
That corporate generosity came at the same time the state-regulated utility scored big legislative wins in Springfield that required the speaker's blessing, including legislation that benefited ComEd to the tune of more than $150 million, according to the agreement.
In 2016 alone, the Madigan-led House allowed ComEd's corporate parent, Exelon, to hit ComEd ratepayers with as much as a $2.3 billion, 10-year rate increase to subsidize two of Exelon's financially flagging nuclear plants.
