Another YGTBSM moment…

Commiefornia has already put a plan forward to ban natural gas/propane in homes starting in 2026…

New homes built in California starting in 2026 need to be powered by all-electric furnaces, stoves and other appliances if California is to meet its ambitious climate change goals over the next two decades, according to a state pollution-reduction plan released Tuesday.

BUT, LA had to go them one better…

On May 27th, citing the climate crisis, the Los Angeles City Council voted Friday to ban most gas appliances in new construction, a policy that’s expected to result in new homes and businesses coming equipped with electric stoves, clothes dryers, water heaters and furnaces.

More than 50 California cities and counties have adopted similar rules banning or discouraging gas hookups in new homes and other buildings.

Ummm… This from a state who is ALREADY having power issues, including ‘unscheduled’ brownouts, power cuts to prevent forest fires, less power available than the state needs when it gets hot, etc. Yet they want to reduce use of oil/gas 91% by 2045!

And they have to go buy power on the open market which is NOT cheap. Oh, and remember they want MOAR electric vehicles too! But they aren’t building anymore power plants and Diablo Canyon is due to sunset and be shut down in the next year or so.

But they go buy power from guess where? Palo Verde! Which is, oh by the way, a nuclear power plant in Arizona!

Can we say hypocrisy? I knew you could!

  1. Arizona should build a few new nuke plants to sell power to California. It would be a great export.

    • Palo Verde Unit 3 is partly owned by Arizona Public Service (APS), Southern California Edison and LA Water and Power Department. When Unit 3 was about to be connected to the grid for full commercial operation, the Arizona Corporation commission disallowed adding Unit 3 to APS’s rate base as it was considered “Surplus to needs.” So, instead of selling power to Arizona customers at a guaranteed but limited rate of return, APS sells its share of Unit 3’s output to California at whatever the traffic will bear. The Democrat controlled Corporation Commission thought they were giving APS a big F* you, instead they handed them a giant cash cow.

        Arizona will build more nuclear power plants. It’s good business as California browns out.

  2. Not sure whether it is hypocrisy or sheer blind stupidity. Either way, it’s about all that many of the lefties have.

  3. Natural Gas is the second cleanest form of energy after nuclear. I think it’s safe to say now that this ISN’T about pollution or the environment, or any of that.
    The people running California obviously have an agenda here that is based on the destruction of all energy and power in the state. My guess is that they’re hoping for a ‘die-off’ of a large percentage of the population – that or forcing them to leave.
    Because the other states will soon stop selling the power, as they’re NOT going to have it to spare.

    • And Lake Mead gets lower by the day. It’s malicious and meant to make not just California suffer but many other places, as well. Cali grows a lot of food, or used to….

      • “Cali grows a lot of food, or used to….”

        they’re working on getting rid of food production. They cut off water to the central valley (the most productive food growth area in the nation) so the snail darter in the delta got enough water. I think it’s a bait fish?

        • The snail darter is an invasive species that I think came in via a tanker or cargo ship. It’s NOT native.

  4. is there a practical difference from malice

    these people don’t act from the same cultural ‘universe’

    weird alien views of causality and esoteric harm

    ‘Clap your hands if you believe’ ‘magic working’ is pretty inherent in the leftist religion.

    They thus see that goals can be capricious and arbitrary, and if results happens it is because of the ‘Good people’. If results fail to happen, it is the wishes of ‘bad people’, deliberately harming the ‘good people’.

    ‘Physically feasibility’ is completely unreal to them. The problem to them is the rest of us not being on board. Ruining everything they touch is partly them playing chicken with us, partly malice towards mroe or less everyone, and partly incompetence that is a result of, among other things, being out of contact with reality.

  5. Seth/NRW/LL- Yep, hoist on that petard! LOL

    Ian- OR they just don’t care about the impact?

    Hereso- Sigh… point

    John- I’m all for giving CA back to Mexico. Let them deal with the idjits…

    JMI- True, and getting worse by the day.

    Bob- I’m not sure… And good point! I think their ‘reality’ comes from whatever they are smoking/stuffing up their noses.

  6. My wife’s environmentally conscious, and we ended up switching all our appliances from electric to gas. Turns out gas is so much more efficient per energy needed to heat stuff it’s better for the environment than electric.

  7. OCF

    Operation Cali Freedom. Who’s up for a Surge vs SanFran? We could liberate the shit out of that place..

    I’ll shave and do some extra PT if they’ll let me come…

  8. And just like that, every penny of political funding from the SoCal Gas Co went to GOP candidates.

    But deserttrek is correct: the correct term is Califrutopia.
    And all y’all can have your misplaced toothless banjo-playing kinfolk back anytime you want to come pick ’em up.
