“Regulator” — i.e., the wonderful “Bay Area Air Quality Management District” who rules over every detail of our lives in the Bay Area.
They weren’t satisfied banning wood fired. Now they are going after the absolutely cleanest burning fuel of all.
For a while, I thought that MAYBE they’d be satisfied banning wood.
I moved to California in ‘73, but spent five years traveling all over the west and the world on field service work. I settled in the Bay Area and bought a house in 1978. We moved to a different house in 1983. The air here back then WAS very bad. There were 20 to 30 days every summer where you could not see across the bay for the big brown cloud. But we’ve done a great job cleaning the air and a day like that is exceedingly rare now. The air is crystal clear most days of the year which is amazing for an area with six or seven million people.
I see absolutely no need to take this insane next step, especially because there will be no electricity to heat homes.
Forbidding the use of natural gas for heating and cooking purposes. What is the rationale?
This is not the first assault on use of natural gas. Back in the 1970’s, Jimmy Carter banned the use of natural gas for lawn lighting and for large searchlights, for no plausible reason. Natural gas was cheap back then, and widely available, posing little or no danger if properly installed.
There used to be a huge searchlight on the roof of the Playboy Tower in downtown Chicago, that lit up the sky and was used as a beacon for pilots on night flight to Chicago to guide them toward Chicago, or otherwise orientate their flight pattern as a visual reference. Years later, when the ban on gas lighting was lifted, the searchlight could not be restarted, as the constructions of taller buildings in the immediate vicinity of the Playboy Tower just completely blocked off any such beam.
In the old days......they were crooks. In these days they are still crooks.
Roaming bands on the prairie who demanded a toll from cattle drovers who crossed their way.
Interestingly, your anal sphincter is a regulator.
