Virtue Signaling Doesn’t Cook Your Food
< < Go Back
What to Know: Berkeley, California has become the first city to ban cooking with natural gas.
“Berkeley has become the first city in the nation to ban the installation of natural gas lines in new homes,” the San Francisco Gate reports. “The City Council on Tuesday night unanimously voted to ban gas from new low-rise residential buildings starting Jan. 1.”
The TPPF Take: We’ve got some bad news for those Berkeley virtue-signalers.
“Putting aside the fact that everyone knows the best way to make tortillas is over a gas flame, the reality is that in California today, forcing people to purchase electric stoves instead of gas stoves is pointless,” says TPPF’s Jason Isaac. “California still gets 41 percent of its electricity from natural gas, so you’re cooking with gas anyway. And this green push will result in higher costs and less reliability for everyone.”
