What gives these people the authority to ban the way people cook and heat their homes? Have any laws been passed by the legislature? I guess these communists just think the people will go along with their dictate.

“What gives these people the authority to ban the way people cook and heat their homes?”

Reminds me of the story of some King (English or somewhere in Europe). He is riding along one cold, rainy stormy night with only one knight as a companion. They are both soaked with the cold rain and their horses need to get out of the weather as well. The King sees a serfs hovel/hut in the distance among the lighting flashes. He says to the knight “perhaps we can find a fire to warm ourselves in that hut”. The knight replies “there will be no fire in the hut your Majesty” The king asks “why not?”. The knight replies “your Majesty has banned the serfs from gathering firewood on pain of death”.

What they are doing is not allowing natural gas pipes to connect to new construction. Anything that uses natural gas, stoves, hot-water heaters, and furnaces will have to use something else, namely electricity.

And where does electricity come from? That’s right, power plants. Wind and solar can only supplemental power because of calm days, cloudy days and night.

And how do power plants create the electricity? Well, nuclear but we can’t have that. Coal, eew! Hydro, but won’t someone think of the salmon and the Indians? And there’s natural gas, but if we’re banning its use in homes, well, now we’re getting silly.

The solution, of course is just be really cold in winter which will have the benefit of thinning the herd of carbon dioxide emitters.
