Bezerkly bans natural gas in new homes and businesses.

WTF!!!
Who the Hell wants to cook on an electric range or oven?
They claim it's for stopping climate change yet natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel available.
I'd be looking to see who profits by going all electric.
Berkeley becomes first U.S. city to ban natural gas in new homes

I have electric and if I lived in earthquake country, I sure as hell would have electric

Cooking with electricity sucks ass. And they made no mention about the dangers of earthquakes.
Wonder how long till they ban charcoal and wood.....if they haven't already.

Electric stoves are a problem for the majority of texassns. California can deal with it.

Believe it or not most Apartments in Texas have electric stoves...

So your ignorance is showing...

It's nice to have a choice. you can always turn off your gas valve as well, in the case of an earthquake.

Assuming it is not too late. I have natural gas heat because it is cheaper than electric and electric does not do too well once the temps get into the 20's. I really would not want that if we were in earthquakeland. In the mean time, I have had gas stoves. I do not like them. The ovens are horrible to try to bake in.

For cooking, I prefer a gas cooktop and an electric oven.

Gas heat and water heater every time!

Well I have and let me tell ya it's hard as hell to cook on electricity when there's no electric power. My power was out for over a friggin week after the Loma Prieta quake. The fridge didn't work so well either. Up in the nearby Santa Cruz mountains it took some months to get their power back on. I had better luck with the electric service in the Philippines, a third world country.

I lost power for 3 days in a hurricane. Move to the east coast. We are much quicker about such things. They will even text me to tell me when my power is restored. Very considerate.

In CA PG&E will turn the grid off if the wind gets to a certain level because the dem legislature folded and allowed PG&E to be the scapegoat for the wildfires of 2017....they have been sued for their wires starting the fires....the insurance companies give more donations the the dems than PG&E does I guess....and the first case happened last week the power was off for 5 days....everyone lost food in their refrigerators because they didn't know when the winds would slow down...imagine that...they can tells us what the weather will be like in 50 years but can't tell us what it will be tomorrow....
Liberals fuck everything up....and they sure have messed California up bad....this state may never make a comeback....one party rule is killing CA...

LOL they do the same stupid shit here but can they tell you why it's out or when it will be back on? Noooooooo.
Therefore I have a whole house stand by generator now.

Actually they do have a website that you can go to to track power outages that posts updates, causes of outages, etc. They give estimates on there as to when power will be restored to certain areas. You just click on your neighborhood. It was pretty handy during the hurricane. They updated it every 4 hours. If nothing else, it was something to do to pass the time to say, "Fuck, I am glad I don't live in THAT neighborhood every time they did an update for a couple places in the area that just got devastated. by trees and water clear cutting their electric infrastructure.

with a gas stove you can control the heat instantly while with an electric range top, the burner stays hot even after you turn it down. Plus the fact you cant see the flame makes it more likely to accidentally lay a towel on top and start a fire. If you have a convection gas stove with a fan that circulates the heat the ovens work great.

My ass. Cook something on high heat on your gas top, turn it down, and then put your hand on the grate and tell me about how instant that cool down was.

An electric oven is not uncommon even for people with gas cook tops. While I theoretically would have gas hot water if I could, I really wouldn't for more practical reasons--the location of the tank in my house is not a good place for a gas unit

Yea we were always told in our city that the gas meters had a system built in to shut down during leaks. I stopped believing them when 3 houses went up AFTER they had investigated and told residents they could remain in their homes

 

[Kondor3]

Natural gas is not needed to run a home. The intent is to create more solar power from the roof top. If you had any brains this would be clearly understood.

People do not want to cook with electric.

People do not want to heat their homes with electric.

Now, the People's Socialist Demokratik Republik of Kalipornia, Berkeley Oblast, has decided what is best for you.

Be silent.

Obey.

Well not in my experience. Ive overcooked more things on an electric stove top even after turning down the heat. Not so much on a gas top. You know there is much more surface area on an electric burner pad right? it kind of heats up the whole area while the metal grate on a gas stove top has much less surface area to transmit heat and it cools quicker because its exposed.

The most we went without electric was a week after a tornado but it turns out that is because it was a spot outage affecting us and nobody had reported it. That was before they integrated the grid so they can detect problems instantly. My current neighborhood is built where there is a confluence of lines so in the hurricane nobody on our side of town had power that I know of except one street perpendicular to mine because theirs comes in from a completely different substation that services the rail lines.

If you cooked more than hot pockets in a toaster oven you'd know electric sucks.

Yes, the sudden outbreak of earthquakes in California makes this necessary. Things aren't like they were 20 years ago. Back then, an earthquake in California was thought to be impossible.

I am pretty sure earthquakes can cause leaks if they can collapse bridges
