https://www.theepochtimes.com/oregon-puts-gas-generator-into-governors-mansion-despite-transition-away-from-fossil-fuels-in-homes_5087490.html *snip* The project comes to light as the debate over banning natural gas in homes and buildings heats up across the nation, and just weeks after Eugene became the first Oregon city to ban natural gas hookups in all new construction.
Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis applauded the Feb. 6 city council vote, saying that “burning fossil fuels in homes pose an imminent threat to our health and climate.”
“It’s clear we cannot let this source of pollution grow unchecked,” she added.
Vinis also expressed her support for the governor’s leadership on the state’s housing shortage while denouncing the use of fossil fuels.
“We have a governor who has pledged to build 36,000 new houses a year,” said Vinis in a public statement signing the ordinance. “We do not want those houses with natural gas hookups.”
Backers of the ban say they are just getting started.

You just can't get to the end of the Climate Catastrophists' hypocrisy.
Incredible.
And when the mass blackouts occur, I hope that ALL residents know the Governor’s address... and fully intend to do something about it.
Enjoy your future cowering in fear of the certain outcome, gov.
First paragraph of the excerpt should read:
After campaigning on a promise to “transition away from the use of fossil fuels like methane gas in homes and commercial buildings,” Oregon’s Democrat Governor Tina Kotek is having a dual natural gas and propane backup generator installed at Mahonia Hall, the official residence of the governor.
Sorry.
It’s not just the hypocrisy, it’s bad, wasteful procurement, to boot. They awarded a $310,000 contract to pour a concrete pad, install a 100 kW natural gas/propane dual fuel generator, install a couple of automatic transfer switches and do the wiring. That’s about SIX times what a job that size should cost.
Natural Gas for me but not for thee.
No wonder the “Greater Idaho” movement is gaining such traction. Those people want OUT of Oregon now.
Tina Tampon won’t care.

Since when does a governor build houses?
It’s not her money. What does she care?
