Sierra Club, environmental groups petition EPA to ban natural gas for home heating

I saw a post earlier about this, but I thought I would post a take from the Californicated state of Colorado.

The Sierra Club is an enemy of the American people, IMO.

Scratch a Green, find a Red.

[Jane Long]

Great line.

[Celtic Conservative]

That’s why I call them watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside.

The Watermelon Party:

”Green” on the outside
but RED on the inside!

I’d wager their lifestyles don’t match their rhetoric

If they cut off my gas I guess I could switch over to wood.
Electric is not an option.

ban the cleanest burning fuel we have, brilliant...

[americas.best.days...]

Imagine a world without leftists.

[Sparticus]

Hello! Did any of you morons over at the Sierra Club read West Virginia v EPA? The EPA is no longer in the legislating business.

“Imagine, no more leftists...
Imagine all the people, well armed living peaceably...”

In a nearby town, there’s a whole bunch of signs about “stop the toxic pipeline”. I got curious and looked up the website. Turns out, the local utility wants to install a new pipeline to replace like a 70 year old natural gas pipeline. The idiot leftists are yelling and screaming how old is so dangerous, despite the signs being plopped in front of houses that almost all heat with natural gas.

When California isn’t able to keep the lights on because of air-conditioning being used in the summer, these idiots double down And demand the use of electric heat

[asinclair]

I live in an apartment. It has an electric kitchen, but a gas water heater that also provides environmental heating with hot water. The electric service is sized for the current load. If the water heater were to be replaced with an electric one, the service would also need to be updated with higher capacity panel.

When I asked why EV cars are banned from the property, management's response was that they would have to beef up ALL the wiring to accommodate the load of charging cars. Not mentioned was insurance issues with EVs and their tenancy to become pillars of fire.

Sierra Club the craziest of the crazy

[The Free Engineer]

Here in Michigan about 1/3 of the electricity is Nuclear, 1/3 coal, and 1/3 natural gas (and 5% windmills and ugly farms and insignificant hydro.)
So get rid of the gas, and replace it by dirtier coal and... gas + transmission losses! So smart.

[Captain Peter Blood]

And was a cost Analysis done on this? No it wasn’t. And they assume everyone can switch over to electricity and that puts more pressure on the Grid. So the Sierra Club wants us to be like Europe and freeze and have no way to generate power.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I suppose at one time The Sierra Club was to be admired for their Conservation efforts and such, somewhere along the way to went way Leftist and Radical as most self-perpetuating organizations do.
