California to ban natural gas appliances: The hits just keep on coming for residents of the formerly Golden State
American Thinker ^ | 09/30/2022 | Eric Utter

The hits just keep on coming for residents of the formerly Golden State. Already besieged by high inflation and severe energy shortages, citizens of the erstwhile Land of Milk and Honey will soon face a ban on natural gas (except for Eric Swalwell's). The California Air Resources Board, or CARB, is planning to rid the state of natural gas heaters, stoves, and furnaces. The Hill recently reported that the CARB passed a proposal that will lay the groundwork for phasing out gas-powered space and water heaters, and other such appliances, by 2030. (I guess CARBs really are bad for you.)

But that's not all. If certain leftists get their way, and they often do, entire kitchens may be outlawed in the future.  If this is the case, the first state in the Union to ban them will undoubtedly be California.

Families may be abolished as well.  Erin Maglaque recently penned a positively glowing review of Sophie Lewis's new communist manifesto screed, Abolish the Family, in which she pleaded, "Let us begin by abolishing our kitchens."  She added, "If we begin by abolishing our kitchens, what else might we get a taste for destroying, and for creating?"  Let's not find out.

Lewis, a "feminist thinker," has stated that "[f]amily is a terrible way to satisfy our desire for love and care."  Yes, it's much better to be "loved" and cared for by the government.  Lewis doesn't much care for heterosexual culture.  She believes that there can be no feminist future until the family — particularly the nuclear family — is abolished.  And she says, "It is a wonder we let fetuses inside us."  (Memo to "feminists" like Lewis: If you don't want a fetus inside you, you shouldn't let a phallus inside you.)

RE: When are they going to fight back and sue them into oblivion?

Who are these “they” of which you speak of in California?

“ I just can’t wait for them to ban electricity too.”

Since most electricity is produced by coal and (now banned) natural gas, once they stop toking the weed and drinking their wine they’ll realize they have to do that too.

I would like to say “they voted for it” but I don’t think Californians really did.

California’s electoral system is highly manipulated, in terms of getting leftist groups to turn out, mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, etc.... tweaks, exemptions, and fudges - to get the necessary results.

I don’t live in California, but it seems these manipulations then find their way to other states. They aren’t like old-school marxists, where a vote needs to be 100%, rather, 55%-60% is enough to gain a super-majority.

And if a vote goes against them (gay marriage, for example) they have the State Supreme Court overturn it.

Got what the majority voted for. Fortunately, the entire US isn’t single party rule so there’s a chance it might turn around soon. Can’t say the same for Cali.

You may be right. Hard to tell at this point.

They will ban generating electricity from solar and wind too when the time is right. They will discover a rare, endangered bird that is being chopped up by windmills, and a rare cactus that the solar farms a shading and killing that that rare bird nests in.

Yep, no restaurant exemption bank it. NG is the cleanest burning fuel on the planet and we have enough for a thousand years. This is about state control. So this tells you who these evil bastards are. People who want power and control this bad should never, ever get either. Misery and suffering is inevitable.

The state where Ronald Reagan was once governor.

How could this have happened?

A northeast state, sure, they were liberals to begin with.

Oh dear, maybe Newsom should check with the chef at The French Laundry and see how he feels about cooking on electric.
