Fix global warming or cook dinner on a gas stove?
Thats 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

Philistine!!!
Much of California banned wood stoves and wood burning fireplaces years ago. The gubmint couldn’t figure out how to put a switch on them that they could turn off, so they had to go.
“. They also say its 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.”
Being rural with no available natural gas we had propane for many years, but due lousy service, and getting ripped off by a couple of propane providers cut them out, and went full electric. The cost was outrageous.
About 20 years ago we calculated our costs for cooking on the electric stove top was a major expense, often adding to putting our electrical consumption into a higher category overall that caused our bills to exceed the limit we are gifted by the State. We turned to butane single burner stoves that have saved us average of $100.00 a month. $1200.00 a year we save by using the butane stoves.
That's the kind of humor I'd expect from a 12-year-old.
And I'm p.o.'d I didn't think of it first.
I lived in N Calif. I heated the entire house with a Lopi wood stove. The house was built of 8” logs and was well insulated above & below.
The power went out for 2 1/2 days one winter & I was able to keep warm. Only ate what was in the cupboards. Didn’t open the freezer or refrigerator.
I have owned 4 homes so far in my life, and I NEVER would even look at one that was ALL ELECTRIC. Never will.
California finds even more ways each do to make mistakes that will KILL their residents.
Glad I am out of there & not willing to go back.
How many new stoves will be needed?
How many new household heating units will be needed?
How many clothes dryers will be needed?
Where is all that INVENTORY right now???
Under such draconian moves, those manufacturers could drive up their prices & have all of California hostage to whatever they wish to charge.
Its a simple fact that electricity is eight times as expensive as natural gas in terms of a kilowatt hour to therm comparison
So this electricity stuff, it arrives via lightning strike? Such mass ignorance is not only tolerated, it is downright applauded by Democrats.
They forget that the majority of California’s electrical power is produced by burning natural gas. More electrical demand more gas burned.

I ask myself why electric power? I have figured out it has nothing to do with carbon emissions as they know that is complete junk science. Electrical power is controlled at the grid level not the home level. Propane, oil, and natural gas are individual fuel choices. The government will control the supply of electricity. they will regulate the supply and the individual output to the customer. One wire in, grid only source. Witness California now testing our tolerance by triggering forced blackouts. this is the future of the totalitarian state. they will control our energy supply and release what they chose to whoever they chose. They will have a social behavior score that will determine who gets what. It will be controlled by the uniparty and will be used to silence dissent.
All those in charge of outlawing natural gas to cook on should bring their gas and charcoal grills into the house to cook on. With the doors and windows shut tight.
