New York City quietly approved a green-fueled rule requiring restaurants with coal- and wooden-fire ovens installed prior to 2016 to cut emissions by 75%.
More than 100 iconic New York City pizzerias could be forced out of business thanks to a quietly approved plan requiring wood- and coal-fired stoves to cut carbon emissions by 75%, a pie shop owner told Fox News. 'This regulation will go a long way to put an end to charming wood-fired pizza restaurants in New York City,' Brooklyn pizzeria owner Paul Giannone, known as Paulie Gee, told Fox News. 'A sad day in my opinion.
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,' the DEP spokesperson told Fox News in an email. 'This common-sense rule was developed with restaurant owners and environmental justice groups and is a product of years of review.
Another critic, Mike, commented in July that the rule could kill a 'cherished New York tradition.' 'You are going after pizza? Glorious New York pizza?' he wrote. 'Can’t you go after Diesel Trucks instead of pizza ovens?' CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP But Aaron disagreed. 'We need to do everything we can to reduce harmful emissions and this is a minor first step,' he commented. The city said the rule would impact around 130 businesses, NYP reported.
