You didn’t think they’d stop at gas stoves, did you?
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new regulations that would require pizzerias utilizing traditional baking methods, like wood and coal-fired ovens, to reduce carbon emissions by as much as 75%.
“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” DEP spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”
Under the proposed rule, any pizzeria with a wood or coal-fired installed prior to May 2016 would be compelled to buy expensive emission-control devices. A city official claims that less than 100 restaurants would be impacted by the rule.
Paul Giannoni, the proprietor of Paulie Gee’s, told the New York Post that he’s already invested $20,000 in an air filtration system. In addition to the substantial installation expenses, he highlighted the ongoing maintenance costs associated with the system. “I got to pay somebody to do it, to go up there every couple of weeks and hose it down and, you know, do the maintenance,” he told the paper.
An unidentified pizza shop owner expressed strong opposition to the proposed mandate and blasted politicians and bureaucrats for meddling with their pizza ovens. “This is an unfunded mandate and it’s going to cost us a fortune — not to mention ruining the taste of the pizza — totally destroying the product,” he said. “If you f—k around with the temperature in the oven, you change the taste. That pipe, that chimney, it’s that size to create the perfect updraft, keeps the temp perfect.

Heck, you can microwave pizza. It tastes the same. I had better add a /s.
If they have their way you will be cooking an MRA added vegetarian with optional insect toppings in a solar powered oven. It will only take 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight so forget about a late night pizza delivery.
Mama loves bugs! In Texas, we can cook them on the street in the summer.
Well, my boys from out at Lubbock went toe-to-toe with the Gators and lost out. Like all sports, it is a game of inches and could have, would have’s. It is pretty easy to get two teams to the finals when your whole conference makes the tournament. Kind of like winning a National Championship in football when two of the four teams are from the SEC. Don’t get me started. It is all about ratings.
Boy, I think I need to go to bed. I am on the wrong thread.
I wonder what the oracles of historic wisdom think of this?
The groups I’m referencing are liberal men, young women, suburban/urban women, & independent voters.
We need to counter with outlawing Champagne, the gas in Champagne is carbon dioxide which causes Climate Warming! After all it’s to save the planet!
This isn’t about climate. They’re Marxists trying to control everything. Coal and wood burning ovens don’t add much of anything to the atmosphere.
This is a good thing.
Just wait until Trump tells suburban women that the Dems are banning air-conditioning!
They want to push everyone onto the electric grid for energy, so they can turn it off with the click of a mouse button if you don’t comply.
Are you talking about the College World Series? The Gators beat my Huskies (soon to be in the Big 12) in the regionals.
“You didn’t think they’d stop at gas stoves, did you?”
It’s just a matter of time until they start eliminating their real target, the billions of hairless apes that spew CO2 just by breathing.

If the mandate passes, restaurants with wood and coal-fired ovens would be required to hire an engineer or architect to evaluate the viability of installing emission control devices with the aim of attaining a 75% decrease in particulate emissions. In the event that isn't possible, alternatives must be considered to potentially reduce emissions by at least 25%.
Restaurants have the option to seek a variance or waiver, but they must provide compelling evidence demonstrating a hardship to justify an exception.
Yet another living parable about the worthless, control freak, sitting-pretty Can't-Do people. This time they're going after the pizza dude. Let us build with frustrate and destroy you under the banner of good.
The sons of Belial are always at the ready with yet another righteous, not-to-be-questioned "common-sense rule."
Ezra 4
1. And when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the exiles were building the temple for the Lord God of Israel:
2. They came to Zerubbabel, and to the chiefs of the fathers' houses and said to them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esar-Haddon, king of Assyria, who brought us up here:
3. And Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chiefs of the fathers' houses of Israel, said to them, You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves alone will build to the Lord God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us:
4. And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and made them afraid to build:
5. And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia:
A free, enterprising Can-Do People will only put up with oppression for just so long. Messing with a man's pizza oven, now that's crossing the line.
The Revolution happens here:
Won’t be long before cooking any food by any means is outlawed.
Our governments no longer serve our purpose.

Exodus 27:20. And you shall command the people of Israel, that they bring you pure beaten oil olive for the light, for the lamp to burn always:
"Oil olive"? In that order? Exactly, it's right there in the text, the "Shemenzeit."
Anyone really aware of what time it is?!
As mentioned on the first link in my previous post, it's time for a "giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism, that will run as efficiently as a person’s body."
Which is to say, well-oiled.
If you’ve ever read anything about Agenda 21 and it’s sequel Agenda 2030 the guidebooks for this insanity, banning air conditioning is in there, high up on the list of things to deny serfs.
I just fire up my big V8 and drive to dominoes
