California continues to go wacko. Their power grid cannot handle what they have now and they continue to eliminate other sources.

When I buy a house I want gas heat and cooking. Another reason to avoid the land of fruits and nuts.

This is why they're called "progressives", taking us far into the future where everything is illegal except rocks, sticks, and womanpower.

I personally do not like gas stoves or gas heating. I lost a good friend from a home gas leak. Her husband came very close to dying also. Very scary. But...in CA they are trying to do too much in too short of time. You can’t go all green on your power grid and then demand everyone go electric on everything like cars, trucks, appliances, heat, air. People are going to be very unhappy in a couple years.

>>implement equity-centered implementation plans for transitioning homes to electric alternatives

There’s the REAL reason for the change... yet another reward for the gibs-me-dats, yet another attack on Whites.

EPA and CARB are out-of-control agencies, which need to be taken down. They have way too much power and no accountability.

The electrical grid already lacks the load capacity to run everything plugged into it. So of course, California politicians being detached from the physics of reality want *more* load on the electrical grid.

It is totally in fitting with their absurd belief that demand will somehow magically create supply. If that was true, every starving socialist utopia would be filled with goods as there is certainly “demand” in those countries.

Leftists constantly disparage supply side economics, but without a supply of something physical to sell, demand for goods is meaningless to generating economic activity. And leftist governments are very good about destroying incentives to create goods.

So California thinks that somehow MAJICALY the Earth’s Atmosphere STOPS at the state line. ALL the Ozone, Smoke, Particulates, etc. from CHINA and INDIA don’t impact their own precious air pollution levels. MORONS.

Hope their power grid literally MELTS due to OVERLOAD. Oops, they can’t use candles from CHINA since they generate soot that has been found to have lead in it.

BTW How much will inevitable California’s collapse impact the saner parts of the US?

If it is negligible..I say good riddance.

Electric heaters & furnaces when they cannot even support the current demand?

“Citizen, we are experiencing a rolling black out to to heavy winter demand - you will only be without power for the next few days ... do not attempt to use your furnace or water heater or you will be heavily fined.”

I love my induction cooktop but I also have a propane grill. Most pro chefs use both.
California is crazy, even energy efficient induction uses electricity and I have a dedicated 40 amp curcuit breaker for mine. What are people going to cook on when the grid had those “planned” outages?

it will also lead to reduced emissions in the many low-income and disadvantaged communities that experience greater levels of persistent air pollution.

Is there no end to the stupidity of CARB? A gas furnace pollutes the air with CO2, the same substance that EVERY LOW INCOME PERSON EXHALES WITH EVERY BREATH.

California is a one party state with a lap dog media and neutered republicans.

The Democrats can and will pass whatever they want and to hell with the voters.

When the govt with smart meters on homes are able to control your electricity use you can still cook with gas. If all electric, they can turn that off too.

Electric everything mandates have zero to do with climate.

They are horrible abuses designed to make PGE the Supreme Monopoly
