The ramifications of New York’s Climate Act on business development are becoming evident.  In 2026, certain new buildings in New York will no longer be able to install fossil fuel equipment and building systems.  Richard Ellenbogen has performed a “science project” that proves that New York’s net-zero transition electrification plans for heating will be more expensive than using natural gas.  It is also notable that the experiment was best on a geothermal heat pump system that is more efficient than legally possible today.  Adding to the already large energy costs in New York is not a good way to attract and maintain manufacturing in the state.
