That doesnt even make sense.
There is nothing wrong with natural gas, as green goes, it’s pretty green.
Building shortage in San Francisco
Maybe they can go to wood burning stoves. That will work.
If they used all the human feces on the street they’d have free fuel for years.
I guess it will be like Bob Cratchett. “Bring in another lump of coal.”
These people have lost their fu@king minds.

Welcome to California aka Hell on Earth
It is very stupid for many reasons, but the electric sources are more varied than that.
Currently Northern CA depends on - Hydro, Nuke (Diablo Canyon), Nat Gas and “renewables”.
Nat Gas is used for both baseline gen plus “peaking”, and a backup to the others. It is extremely flexible that way.
Nuke is baseline. They will be closing down Diablo Canyon, but I doubt that “renewables” will make up the difference in time for that to work, or if it can at all.
Hydro is unreliable, to a point, because it depends on rainfall. A dry year can cut generation potential up to 50%. The difference is usually made up with Nat Gas.
“Renewable” is mostly Solar, plus wind. Both are irregular and unreliable. Note that “renewable” gen capacity as often seen is misleading. That is absolute peak capacity, not actual recorded generation.
WHY the HELL would ANYONE be building in SF?? He’s a HRELLHOLE full of FECES!
California’s “renewables” requirements means it already imports a lot of electricity from other states, particularly when demand is high.
So it means more demand for out-of-state electricity, and even worse black-outs.
No worries. They it will all be converted to run on albino unicorn sweat.
When natural gas came into our neighborhood we immediately hooked on and our home energy expenses went down dramatically - at least 60% savings. (heat, tank-less hot water, cooking stove) It is great!!!
California would deprive their citizens of such savings??
Coal? Wood? Or how about nuclear?
For heat and cooking they can burn abundant, carbon neutral, people poop...
If the GND is implemented, they will in short order announce that the science says it is not enough. Nothing is ever enough for the radical enviros. There will be outright bans on natural gas and other technologies, and if you cannot afford to retrofit to whatever they decide you should have, your home will be condemned and you will be forced out. They are at war with the single family home.
Bums and sidewalk shitters don’t need no stinking natural gas. Come on man!
So if you happen to be in one of Kalifornia's rolling blackout areas, then do you chop up furniture to build a fire in the middle of your living room for cooking and heat?
