Lawmakers passed the All-Electric Buildings Act, which requires most new buildings to have only electric appliances, in 2023 as a step toward reducing pollution from the state's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and advancing New York's legally mandated emissions targets. It was set to take effect in January. Delaying the law's implementation past then would cause the state "irreparable harm," lawyers argued in an Oct. 1 brief. They'd spent two years successfully defending the law against industry opponents.
