“Relying on gas is bad for the planet, bad for our finances and bad for our health.” So declared Clover Moore, the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Australia, on Monday as she confirmed all new households will be required to be fully electrified from 2027 going forward with no alternative choices such as gas allowed. Medium to large commercial buildings, hotels and serviced apartment buildings will also be required to operate fully on electricity under the new imposed strictures. The council governing Australia’s biggest city had restricted indoor gas appliances, like stoves and heaters, in new homes earlier this year but the new mandate to ensure no more gas usage is a step further. Nine News reports the strict new planning controls were given final endorsement by the City of Sydney Council in a unanimous vote. Left-wing Moore said that the reforms would not only improve residents’ health – but also save them money – an argument previously used by New York City when it adopted the same strictures on freedom of choice in 2023, as Breitbart News reported.
