California moves to ban natural gas furnaces and heaters by 2030

California is committing to a plan that will make it the first U.S. state to phase out gas-fueled furnaces and water heaters in homes.

Yep, all about control. And if you guys think you are burning wood in the future and cannot be stopped it is delusional thinking…

Electric heat, electric water heater and electric vehicles in a state that has rolling blackouts on a regular basis…what could go wrong?

And they are all too stupid to understand that its all connected.

And as I recall, NYC is heading down the same path for all new high rises. 100% electric.
But thats just new towers. everybody else can still install (and use) gas. for now.

Granted, there’s a large part of the state that I’ve heard rarely needs heat, but still…

Lots of people prefer cooking with gas. Probably why they chose a stove burner graphic instead of a furnace.

And everyone likes to eat.

Well, from what I hear they won’t let farmers have irrigation water to grow food, anyway, so might be a moot point…

Well, when we cut down on drilling, guess what's gonna happen to the natural gas supply..

We can sell the supply we have to Europe to prevent global warming?

The irony is that Europe needs the natural gas to keep people from freezing to death.

You mean solar and wind energy that account for 6% of Germany's electricity can not do that?

I'm one. During our kitchen remodel, the only thing I really cared about was ditching the electric stove for a gas stove. Now I've got a gas range and griddle. It's the best inside cooking you can do. Try to scorch a pepper on an electric burner...

May I suggest they begin burning politicians?

I had to read that twice to verify what you said, because I bet some one here would argue that you absolutely can scorch a pe(ker on an electric burner.
Edit: Mod's feel free to delete my post if I have violated any policies.

I hear of people who burn trash and it's illegal. Then they take what is not burnable and throw it away at gas stations in Wal-mart bags....

Yeah, I'm a gas range guy myself. This doesn't eliminate that, at least not yet. But per the article there are 50 some cities/towns that do restrict them. I'm still bumed that my wife wouldn't let me alter the kitchen cabinets after they were already ordered, to get a stove/range that cost 3x as much as what I have. I tried telling her it was a very nice stove but she wouldn't listen. Commercial 7 burner with dual ovens and true convection.

And yeah I (tried) scorched a pepper on an electric burner, it sucks.

Eh most of the ones I know that do/have done that just fill up the burn barrel with non burnables over time then have the whole thing hauled to the dump. $10 for the barrel and maybe $10-20 for the dump over a year. Never known any to take it to gas stations in a Wallyworld bag.

I've been hearing for 50 years, that Commiefornia was going to slide into the ocean.
Now would a perfect time to fulfil that theory.
It wouldn't hurt my feelings if, someone pulled the plug and let NY drain into oblivion.
