The green agenda coalition now is demanding the elimination of natural gas furnaces and appliances in homes nationwide, a move that could trigger replacements costs of $12,000 for homeowners.
And the plan is being slammed as representing a federal government "out of control," according to a state lawmaker.
The plan is being pushed by the Sierra Club and dozens of other "environmental" groups, who are demanding the Environmental Protection Agency ban the use of natural gas for home heating – everywhere in the country.
The groups' petition claims that the federal agency absolutely has to regulate "deadly pollution" from the energy source.
A report in the Denver Gazette explains, "The petition, sponsored by the Sierra Club, claims fossil fuel-fired home furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers and stoves emit enough nitrogen dioxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) that they must be classified as 'new stationary sources' of air pollutants, placing them in the same regulatory regime as power plants and factories."
U.S. Rep. Lauiren Boebert, R-Colo., was direct in responding that "unelected bureaucrats do not have the power to unilaterally decide major questions" such as how Americans heat their homes.
"We are facing the worst energy crisis since Jimmy Carter, yet these inflation-loving leftists are more worried about how to take away Americans’ reliable heating than they are about creating viable solutions," she charged.
The move is part of the ever-surging green agenda being pushed onto Americans by political leftists – who have found a welcoming White House with Joe Biden in residence.

Absolute stupidity.
Eco-terrorists bout as bad as religious zealots....
They are trying to incite a civil war..sadly soon we will have no choice.
I demand that the “Green Agenda” coalition go eff themselves.
You know, I’m starting to believe that it’s enviroactivist flatulence and not cow flatulence that’s screwing up the ozone.
So we go back to burning wood in our fireplaces for heat. That won’t cause CO2 pollution, will it?
This is insane.
These people do not care that they have no planned alternatives.
They are this stupid.
They are socialists who are great at confiscating and spending, but have no idea how to produce anything.
This is why socialism/communism always fail....because they do not know how to make things
As the last of the coal plants are bulldozed, now the Xi-Putin Greenies are coming for natural gas and propane - just as I predicted...
This should be fun. Philly area just spent tens of millions upgrading the main lines...
No, they are worse.
In many areas you are forbidden from installing a new wood burner in either existing or new construction because of “air quality” and some states are beginning to regulate the stoves in such a manner that many of them will not meet EPA/State requirements.
It is time that people wake up about the “green agenda” and realize that it is about their power over us. Period. There is no faster way to tank an economy than to strangle energy.
Agreed
Yep. Natural gas and fossil fuels = food. Look at Canada.
Please LORD JESUS, come and rapture your church out of this crazy a$$ world. There seems to be no end to the stupid things these lame-brained dolts come up with. Come quickly LORD JESUS, come quickly. Amen
Thank god Republican leadership is standing up bravely and boldly to this onslaught.
HAHAHAHAHAHA...You should do stand up comedy somewhere...
IIRC, the USSC has already bitch-slapped the EPA for wantonly expanding their perceived powers for which there is no Constitutional basis.
Methinks the Sierra Club needs to check their ‘privilege.’
