Environmentalists in California are willing to let the state dictate how they cook in their own kitchens in an attempt to save the planet.
Thirteen cities and one county in California have put in place zoning codes encouraging or requiring all-electric new construction, virtually banning builders from running natural gas lines into homes and apartments to fuel appliances, including stoves and ovens.
USA Today reported that people believe the move is necessary to fight climate change with an eye toward creating fewer legacy gas hookups as the nation shifts to carbon-neutral energy sources.
USA Today reported on the move to fight climate change:
For natural gas companies, its a threat to their existence. And for some cooks who love to prepare food with flame, its an unthinkable loss.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, mostly methane, and produces 33% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas causing climate change.
Theres no pathway to stabilizing the climate without phasing gas out of our homes and buildings, Rachel Golden of the Sierra Clubs building electrification campaign, said. This is a must-do for the climate and a livable planet.
But the page linked to on the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) website is referring, ironically, to CO2 emissions from the U.S. electric power sector by source for 2018. The new codes call for replacing gas with electricity.

PG&E rubbing their hands with glee.
They are trying to make living in California even more expensive than it already is.
I propose removing all power from state/county government buildings in CA to combat global warming.
Political power, yes...........................
The Nazi’s will arrest you.......................
My whole house generator runs on Natural Gas - it is very energy efficient. Ran it for 10 days last year during a bad storm - I was surprised how little gas it used to keep my lights on.
Is Propane also banned?
Anything that produces CO2..........................
Doubt that...where I live.
So as you sit in the dark with your discharged electric car or able to get to work, you can choke down raw un refrigerated food during the week long power outages...
Hmmm, that would cold soaked grain.
Gruel for the socialist masses.
Why do people continue to live in hellholes like California?
Look at that. A white liberal.
I guess Sterno cans are out, too!
The NAzi’s will die
