What a wuss, coal fired pizza in NYC is dead.
Divide up the states between leftist and conservative (constitutional) governments. Check on the leftist states in 5 years, if there’s anything left.
Government in NYC seems determined to kill the city.
“What a wuss, coal fired pizza in NYC is dead.”
Not according to your OP!
Make the bastard politicians pay for it. They’re the azhos claiming they are savin’ da planet by spending the hell out of the money stolen from American families.
I question whether the City can compel compliance with this
new regulation.
The pizza restaurant in question was operating under the building, fire, and life safety codes in place at the time it was licensed. They should not be required their business in
order to meet the every-changing statutory environment.
Move your Iconic NYC pizzeria to a safer place
“Winding your way down on Bleecker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about ev’rything”
This is all about the mundane subject of pizza. Imagine what will be like if there is no bread? Can anyone spell the word: H...U...N...G...E...R? The phrase:”Give us today our daily bread” is starting to make sense,huh? Wait till we have to ask for our daily drink of water. That is when TSHTF.
He needs to ignore these ruling and claim to be an illegal alien.
Sound to me like this guy is going to keep right on voting democrat.
I never understood how this isn’t an ex post facto law/regulation.
Restaurant owner should leave the country, come back in illegally then “squat” in the Restaurant while operating it the way he wants.
Close up shop in N.Y.And come on down to Florida.
We can Always use another good pizza joint and we are not high tax regulated like crazy here
As much of a lunatic my governor Ned Lamont is, he replied when asked about banning coal fired pizza... “over my dead body!”
This is about particulate matter emissions and NOx and SOx all three are real pollutants. Every other source of those emissions in the densely packed NYC area has already had to clean up their emissions via catalysts or stack bag houses and electrostatic precipitators. Power plants, diesel generators, and trucks busses and cars all must filter their exhaust to take 99% of those very real pollutants out.
These ovens are burning raw coal directly to the sky a practice best left in the 1800s. People who live in the area are breathing raw coal particulates every day in the exhaust which is just above street level it’s not like they have 100+ foot stacks. I love the original John’s on B street it’s a regular stop of mine when I spend weeks at a time in NYC usually midtown Manhattan area.
The city finally said ok just like everyone else you need to filter your stack emissions for particulate 2.5micron or smaller ,and not release NOx or SOx above a few ppm levels. Those are consistent with the limits set for other bulk emitters. The solution is not hard coal power plants use large versions of the system to clean up their emissions. A wet electrostatic precipitator with limestone or gypsum acid gas trap below the ESP to turn the nitric and sulfuric acid liquid into calcium nitrate or calcium sulfate. No one in any first world city is allowed to directly burn coal to the sky anymore this is not 1890 Elizabethan London. This has nothing to do with CO2 or climate change those three actual emissions cause real measurable respiratory harm, acid rains plus smog.The City didn’t say you can’t burn coal they said if you burn coal the output of your stacks must meet the air quality standard for every other bulk emitters. So the choice is add ESP equipment or switch fuels to a SOx,NOx free fuel such as natural gas or propane. Wood still makes copious amounts of particulate matter emissions and NOx as well here again ESPs clean it up to 90+% reductions.
