“In an earthquake prone area I could understand this. But as an environmental issue it is silly.”
The newer HDPE mains are more resilient in such cases. New gas services have EFV (Excessive Flow Valves) installed that shut off the flow of gas if the service line is broken such as the meter set is broken off a riser.
Inflation, fuel shortages, supply chain issues, economic stagnation...and these clowns are doing this.
“My propane stove saved the day last February here in Central Texas. Ercot cut off the electricity, so the central heat (also propane) couldn’t be used. The stove kept the house above 50 thru the ordeal.”
That is exactly why they do not want that option available. You didn’t freeze to death like they wanted you to.
Good luck trying to warm up your soy burgers and chai latte’s over a candle when the power goes out ya morons.
You just shot down the Anti Gas idiots in one comment.
Well done!!!
I lived in my freightliner in North dakota.
Every truck would be running all night long but not mine.
I fixed up a stand and hung my ventless propane stove, cranked my window down a little and slept in peace.
Now Im in arizona and when we lost electricity i just got my stove out and my girl and I stayed toasty in our house
“Over the past three years, dozens of cities across the country have banned natural gas hookups in newly constructed buildings as part of a growing campaign to reduce carbon emissions from homes.”
Playing pretend allows them to not work on all the issues tearing these cities apart.
I hope they do ban them and gas heaters. And then a 10 day blizzard hits and knocks out the power.
Your propane stove kept your house at 50 degrees? Impressive.
You absolutely can cook and warm over candles millions of hardcore backpack trekkers do it all the time. I have cooked hotdogs,spaghetti, baked beans,spam,Hormel beef stew...drool after a long day of trekking Hormel beef stew hot from the mess kit is good eats. Their cornbeef hash in the tin with some carefully transported eggs is Bfast of champions on the trail.

I was actually quoting Dalberg-Acton so I pinged him and will let him reply to you.
What is the heat source when temps are -12 and -50º ?
Just curious.
Meant to ping you to #52.
Gas forced air....best heat out there
Over my dead body.
We heat with wood and have hot water courtesy of propane. We have a backup genny to run the well pump.

That’s what we have, in balmy and mostly warm Texas :-)
No one can tell me that leftists actually give a crap about people. They 100% don’t.
Those are Canadian temps virtually no where in the lower 48 will ever get to 50 below. The Canadians use a lot of Hydro and nuclear power seems to work for them. In the eastern part of Canada they have special rates of power for electric heating either a flat rate or a separate power meter for the hot water for radiators or resistance coil heaters. Hydro power is already cheap in Canada as is nuclear power Ontario is over 60% nuclear powered only France has a higher percentage of total power from nukes. Only in the western provinces will gas or oil heat be used. Alberta and BC have access to gas fairly cheaply but the rest of Canada does not most is not anywhere near a gas grid.
