The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit tossed a Berkeley, California, ban on gas stoves on Monday, saying that the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act preempted state and local authorities in regulating natural gas.
The Courthouse News Service reported:
The three-judge panel’s ruling reverses a federal judge’s dismissal of a lawsuit by the California Restaurant Association claiming the Energy Policy and Conservation Act preempts the San Francisco Bay Area city’s ban. The group said the ordinance would affect chefs’ ability to prepare food the way they are typically trained — using natural gas stoves.

they only need one, it just wasn’t this one
Let the good citizens of Berkeley eat the WEF bugs.
That’s also the eventual fate of the ridiculous proposed Communist regulations from CA energy utilities (taxing users based on their income, rather than on actual consumption).
Let the good citizens of Berkeley eat the WEF bugs.
Lucky them they were heading towards open fires in their yard ,LOL
Just get a Camp Chef stove and put it in your kitchen.
Years ago the court threw out a state ban on foie gras. Said the state was interfering in interstate commerce; food regulations are federal domain... something along those lines.
I think that story has been misreported. I could be wrong, but there is no possible way that energy costs will be capped at $15-$180 a month. People would run their air conditioners all day long! They’d do laundry during peak usage hours!
That proposed fee has got to be about what they charge for the access to energy, a separate line item on the bill apart from the price you pay for kWh usage.
9th Circuit isn’t known for their good decisions...what’s up?
Throw out Berkeley while your at it.
“Let the good citizens of Berkeley eat the WEF bugs.”
They aren’t good citizens...they are democrats.
I don't understand how they even get out of bed with hate as their first thoughts. What an awful mentality they have.
Correct
Good.
In the game of Court Reality Poker, two Trump judges and a Reagan judge beat a single Obama stooge:
At a hearing in 2021, U.S. District stooge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers [an Odiousbama appointee] found the city had the authority to regulate the distribution of natural gas when she dismissed the restaurant association's lawsuit last year.
In May 2022, the appeals panel, composed of Judge M. Miller Baker — sitting by designation from the U.S. Court of International Trade — and fellow Donald Trump appointee U.S. Circuit Judge Patrick Bumatay, and Senior U.S. Circuit Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain, a Ronald Reagan appointee, heard arguments from lawyers.
Wait? The ninth circuit did this? Great news, who made them smart?
They all eat using Uber and Starbucks. Any stove is a poor reflection on your dietary social status. Gauche. Trailer trashy poor.
