No way in hell you are going to put a wok on an electric stove.”
That was Steven Lee, a San Francisco official and restaurant investor, as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle last year after the city’s Board of Supervisors voted to outlaw natural gas in new buildings.
Nevertheless, they persisted. Per the Sierra Club, the quickening campaign to phase out natural gas recently notched its 50th city-level win in California alone. (Take a bow, Encinitas!) No. 50, as with some others, has “situational exemptions” for restaurants and the like, but the overall push to compel an all-electric design for homes and commercial buildings understandably has had chefs and home cooks worried, roughly for the reasons articulated by Steven Lee.
Berkeley was the pilot light of this movement. The city was the first to ban gas connections in new buildings in 2019, something the California Restaurant Association is still fighting in court.

“Another reason not to live in CA.”
Yep, thankfully, Biden would NEVER impose this on the 49 other states.

The heat goes out the chimney at the power plant and the wires heat up on the way to the house.
The amount of gas used for cooking in the home is negligible and is of no consequence to climate change. This is about control. All smart meters have built in cutoffs. Once we are all electric, you will be at their mercy to make even a cup of coffee. This is evil, pure and simple.
California doesn’t have enough electric. Quick! Ban natural gas!
Effing morons!
bingo
At the power plant is before the meter. If the wiring in the house is getting warm you have a problem. Wiring should not be getting hot. It’s to small for the job.
None of the heat produced in the water heater is lost when electricity is used.
The amount of gas used for cooking in the home is negligible
