> First, obviously regulation is a conspiracy. It will is a coordinated activity by multiple individuals.

Your comment goes way beyond being wrong. You clearly do not know a) what a conspiracy is, b) how standards and regulations are specified and adopted. You clearly are trying to comment on subjects you're entirely oblivious about.

> Second, none of this is an argument to ban natural gas appliances.

Except it does. Again, you seem completely oblivious to what regulations and standards accomplish. You're trying to reject well established concepts and mechanisms that you know nothing about, and filling in your ignorance with conspiratorial make-believe.

For your information, builders are also forced to comply with regulation on thermal insulation in particular and climate confort in general. Why? For the very same reason NY banned natural gas in new buildings: mitigate the environmental and economic impact of climatizing ineficcient, sub-standard homes.

> what is the harm? Is the harm acceptable?

I invite you to read the regulation. You are clearly commenting on stuff out of ignorance.
