More bans on NG

San Jose proposes a ban on natural gas
mercurynews-ca.newsmemory.com
San Jose is set to become the largest city in the United States to ban natural gas from many new homes in direct contrast to the federal government’s rollback of environmental regulations. On Tuesday, the City Council approved a proposal from Mayor Sam Liccardo and four of his fellow council members to create an ordinance barring natural gas in new single- family homes, low-rise multifamily buildings and detached granny flats beginning next year.

The proposal would not affect existing homes or highrise developments.

“Electrifying buildings is not only good for the planet, but good for our health and safety,” the mayor, Raul Peralez, Lan Diep, Magdalena Carrasco and Dev Davis wrote in a memo.


The good news is this will make it very, very expensive to live her for new people so maybe it will stem the tide of overcrowding....

In reality, they'll raise our taxes to subsidize the electricity and cost of adding solar to the low income buildings while those with more money buy existing homes with NG.
