Natural gas burns very cleanly. It must be the Natural gas CO2 emissions they object to. So these dunces would rather have the gas and other fossil fuels be burned far away to generate their electricity.

So out of sight and out of mind/NIMBY for these clowns, and perhaps a majority of their constituents.

Yep. Pretty much describes them. I recall that during the last energy crisis, several municipalities in the Bay area STILL refused to allow people to dry clothes outside on their balconies because 'they didn't want their cities looking like tenements.'

But taking a dump on the sidewalk in a human right. You can't make up this level of stupidity!
