Make the ruling immediate.

Gas exists in nature. Electricity has to be made. They just don’t get it.

[NWFree]

I love my gas heater dryer stove hot water heater and they blow and go especially in the winter time

[Qwapisking]

unions and their members in the north typically vote for democrats. maybe Johnson wants to change that.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Pea brain.

[Gaffer]

This is absolute madness. Does he think that he can get up in front of rabid climate leftists and say stuff like this and that his constituents who’d either be freezing from mass blackouts with this or completely unable to pay HUGE electric bills won’t notice. Are they that stupid?

[Steely Tom]

This is a great idea.

He should cut off all means of heating every living space in Chicago. Except of course his own.

[AppyPappy]

Now why would this guy care about that?

Oh yeah, he is paid to care about that.

[EinNYC]

Just another way to control the populace, make no mistake. What does this anal orifice have against gas? Because it’s cheaper? Because it helps keep us energy independent? Because his family doesn’t own enough gas stock?

[Karl Spooner]

Might not be bad idea, Illinois would be a good state if it weren’t for Chicago.

[blackdog]

Good luck on that homeowners insurance.

"It's a no brainer for anyone building new construction today," said John Gay, president of architecture firm JAQ Corp.

I always turn to architectural firms for advice on how to build a reliable, economical power supply and how to deliver that power reliably and economically to buildings. I'm glad Mr. Gay had a chance to show his power engineering bona fides. Thank you for your power engineering wisdom, Mr. Gay.

“It’s a no brainer”

A favorite of progressives when they’re scamming you.

[Texas resident]

Gas would be replaced by all-electric systems except for the mayor and his friends.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Even if man made climate change existed which it does not unless you believe peeing in the ocean can turn it yellow, what makes this idiot think one city in the entire world is going to change it?

[asinclair]

Does the ordinance mandate expanding the generation of the electricity required to support the shift from gas to electric? Specifications saying power must be supplied at sufficient levels in the face of night, clouds, feet of snow, calm air?

How about upgrades to the electrical distribution system to take on the added load? Replacing transformers? Running bigger wire?

In the event of rolling blackouts, do government buildings lose their power first, and regain power last?

[Gene Eric]

>> to phase out fossil fuels that intensify the climate crisis

lies, lies, lies... scum

[Nextrush]

“The gas we pass”

[Lockbox]

What? Burn natural gas to generate electricity, move down transmission lines, through transformers into your house and use to heat a wire or power a heat pump all the while losing energy in each step? That saves the planet how? Where will all the required electricity come from? Unicorns?

[BobL]

What he’s really trying to do is KICK OUT Black families from their homes as they will be the ones most impacted by his plan.

So, Mayor Johnson, why do you HATE BLACKS?

(and by the way, mayor, you’re named after two white presidents...we notice racist stuff like that)
