Fix global warming or cook dinner on a gas stove?

That’s the choice for people in 13 cities and one county in California that have enacted new zoning codes encouraging or requiring all-electric new construction

. They also say it’s more expensive to run an all-electric home. A study by AGA released last year suggested that all-electric homes would pay $750 to $910 a year more for energy-related costs, as well as amortized appliance and upgrade costs.


They don't care. Also during the last two electrical power shut offs here in northern California I could cook food and had warm water. They forget that the majority of California's electrical power is produced by burning natural gas. More electrical demand more gas burned.

There’s only ONE thing that is ruining our planet: The Delusional Lying Left - The “DLL” Syndrome.

Elton John paid off Meghan Markle and Prince Dum-dum’s private jet carbon footprint so maybe he’ll pay off my teeny one.

Once they get their electric bill, they’ll change their minds.

A lot of electricity is really coal power. Which doesn’t bother me, but might bother the Left.

Natural gas is really a very clean fuel. These people are just foolish,

It’s funny because natural gas is natural. Electricity is not.

So that you will use electricity, which they will shut off, to bring you to your knees in total submission to the power of the State.

They plan to shut off gasoline too, and to force you to use an electric car, but that will take a few years! For now, they are training you in compliant submission. Be a good little sheep now!

Gee, I guess the electricity comes from a fairy. Natural gas is much more efficient for home use. Such morons.

I guess they don’t know that many electric plants use natural gas to produce electricity.

Considering there is NO Sustained Alternative Power, which means even during Peak Solar and Wind generation, THE GAS TURBINES ARE STILL RUNNING, I would say we Get NOTHING from so called Alternative Energy.

Right.. force everyone onto electric, making them all the more vulnerable when PG&E conducts more blackouts.

It is not about saving the planet. It is all about controlling the sheep. This includes this whole global warming climate change bullshit. First they take your guns, then they take your life until there are only enough slaves to work to support them in their lavish lifestyle.

Diesel generator companies are just drooling over this as well. The problem with going all electrical is you are at the mercy of a single utility provider. I’m completely electrical where I’m at with geothermal heat and air and everything else. It was great until Duke energy bought out our local power company and jacked the rate up 40% to help “average out” their costs nationwide. Also, you get behind on your single huge bill you’re screwed completely. If there isn’t any competition between the different sources the costs are going to go sky high, just watch, it’s exactly what happened to me. I have a 25kva generator that I can attach to my tractor’s PTO and run both mine and my mothers house by back feeding into the dryer plug if needed. I know, backfeeding and all that, I just always remember to flip the main breaker is all, or if worst comes to worst pull the meter. Every house is going to have something to keep the ice cold when, not if, it all goes to hell, subdivisions will be roaring with the sound of a thousand engines on day three.
