"The natural gas ordinance, introduced by Councilwoman Kate Harrison, requires all new single-family homes, town homes and small apartment buildings to have electric infrastructure."
typical NIMBY move: who cares where the electricity comes from, or if the power grid can handle everyone using it for everything like cooking and heating

"The ordinance allocates $273,341 per year for a two-year staff position in the Building and Safety Division within the city’s Department of Planning and Development.The employee will be responsible for implementing the ban."

And here's the reason why gov'ts have these ordinances. Gotta gib cushy jobs to the party loyalists

generating electricity costs more gas than just using gas does donnit

and you gotta transport that electricity, losing a lot of energy along the way

lot of energy loss

even in the transformation process

supposedly anyway

gas->heat->steam->electricity->power grid->your home->your electric stove->electricity->heat

vs. gas->your stove->heat

The power plants can be made much more efficient than open flames though

And energy loss in power lines is minimised

Plus there can be gas leaks

Both along the way and in your home, the former causing the equivalent of wasted energy and the latter causing potential explosions

thats full bizzaro clown world now

banning natural gas

spirit cooking works best with natural gas

maybe thats why

taking the power from the people

nah seriously this stupid line of thinking leads to carbon emission control on humans breathing

@gillesvdo that is corruption

if true

giving jobs to people in politics? almost inevitably leads to some form of corruption

even if it is just on the level of gaining another 2 incentivized supporters to go activist on your behalf

after all, their income now depends on it

its doing something for the sake of looking like ur doing something while using up funds

pathetic

banning natural gas?

tear it all down!

tear down the evil natural gas infrastructure

its evil

fucking gay

go fucking die you stupid natural gas hater

Lmao

<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

Esp since generating that electricity has a lot of waste heat when produced, which doesnt transfer to your home

When it comes to heating, electricity is pointless

They should shut it down just like in NI

Worked out well here
