“This is good news for the wealthy Californians and other Californians who already own homes.”
Until they start requiring it on existing homes when they are sold.
And that’s exactly what they’ll do. Just like their requirement that if you have a fireplace with any kind of wood stove/pellet stove in it it must be EPA compliant or rendered unusable by filling it with cement.
We have an older pellet stove in a real fireplace that will have to be removed, disposed of, and the real fireplace put back in working order if we ever decide to sell our house. It’s stupid since the pellet stove puts out much less pollutants than a real fireplace does. Idiots.
